Abstract: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) was introduced in the 1990s in dermatology and is nowadays established as a noninvasive high-resolution technique for the in vivo evaluation of the skin. To date several studies have been successfully demonstrated the application of OCT for various dermatological questions. The main indication for OCT in the daily practice is the noninvasive diagnosis of nonmelanoma skin cancer such as actinic keratosis and basal cell carcinoma. OCT has also been shown to be a valuable tool in treatment monitoring and evaluation of therapeutic success of noninvasive treatment strategies like topical immune modulators or photodynamic treatment. Other potential applications for OCT include inflammatory diseases, microbial or parasitic infestations of the skin, e.g. scabies mites or onychomycosis. In recent years high-definition OCT devices have been developed that can potentially be used for the evaluation of melanocytic lesions and, due to the higher resolution, for the visualization of intrafollicular demodex mites. Furthermore different commercially available devices offer-in addition to the cross-sectional images-a fast-generated horizontal (en face) imaging mode. With respect to resolution and penetration depth the OCT technique is taking a middle position in comparison to other noninvasive imaging devices in dermatology such as sonography and reflectance confocal microscopy.

TL;DR: In this paper, the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) is used for the description and classification of functioning that is accepted worldwide, based on the bio-psycho-social perspective.
Abstract: Functioning and health are central issues in medical rehabilitation. With the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), the World Health Organization implemented in 2001 a system for the description and classification of functioning that is accepted worldwide. Applying the bio-psycho-social perspective, this model based on interdependencies, comprises the components Body Function, Body Structure and Activity and Participation as well as contextual influences of health: the Environmental and Personal factors. The ICF is of prime importance in clinical practice, teaching, and research. It provides a universal language to be used in health care permitting the characterization of the specific functional problems of individuals. The rehabilitation of skin diseases takes advantage on the ICF in rehabilitation management. In this paper we describe the philosophy of the ICF and its implementation in rehabilitation of patients with chronic skin problems on the basis of a case study.
