Medilan: a hypoallergenic lanolin for emollient therapy.

Lanolin has been used for thousands of years for its emollient properties. For the past two decades it has had an ill-deserved reputation as an important sensitizer. Medilan is an ultra-purified hypoallergenic medical grade lanolin that has been shown to cause almost zero sensitization. As well as its occlusive properties it has also been shown to penetrate the skin and help to store water in the stratum corneum. The hypoallergenic nature of Medilan combined with its soothing and hydrating properties make it a valuable ingredient in emollient preparations used to treat eczema and other dry skin conditions.

Amaurosis fugax challenges: best met by multispecialty approach to management.

1. Amaurosis fugax (AF) refers to transient, reversible loss of vision, typically monocular and of short duration. 2. Patients with AF present a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge, frequently requiring a multispecialty approach to management. It is important to determine whether or not there is an ocular cause of the problem. 3. In the absence of eye findings to explain the symptoms, the internist must direct the workup toward cardiogenic hypotension, migraine, carotid or vertebral-basilar artherosclerotic disease, cardiac embolic disorder, and other potential causes.
