(Ivanhoe Newswire) — Dark-skinned people undergoing laser skin treatment would do well to skip a standard technique aimed at preventing unwanted discoloration after the procedure.

A new study out of Thailand shows a cooling technique actually promotes discolored skin rather than prevents it.

The research was carried out in about 20 Thai women with a common skin problem called Hori nevus, which characterized by blue-brown spots, on their faces. Each woman was treated by laser, with just one side of the face undergoing the cooling treatment.

Sixty-two percent of the women developed discoloration, also known as hyperpigmentation, on the cooled side of their faces compared to 24 percent on the uncooled side. Most of the discoloration occurred about two weeks after the initial treatment. The discoloration resolved in all but one patient when researchers checked them again after 12 weeks.

The son of slain physician David Cornbleet, MD, said he will continue to urge the French government to extradite a former patient sought in the killing.

Hans Peterson surrendered to French authorities on the island of St. Martin on Aug. 6 and allegedly confessed to the slaying of the Chicago dermatologist. The late doctor’s family members and two U.S. senators asked the French government to extradite Peterson, but officials rejected the request in late August because Peterson is a French national, said Jon Cornbleet, the doctor’s son.

Inspired by the device used to find lost coins in the sand, Johns Hopkins undergraduates have invented a small handheld metal detector to help doctors locate hidden orthopedic screws that need to be removed from patients’ bodies. The device emits a tone that rises in pitch as the surgeon moves closer to the metal screw. It also serves as a surgical tool to guide the removal of the hardware.

Orthopedic screws, usually made of a stainless steel or titanium alloy, are produced in varying lengths and can have screwheads that range from roughly 3 to 7 millimeters in diameter. Orthopedic surgeons often use these screws and related hardware to hold broken bone fragments together for proper healing. These doctors often need to remove orthopedic screws that shift position, trigger an infection or cause pain, but skin and scar tissue can make it difficult to find the troublesome hardware, even with the aid of real-time X-ray technology. The small handheld detector is designed to zero in on the hardware and steer the doctor’s screwdriver into position for prompt removal.
