โœฆ Synopsis

Non-digital epiluminescence dermatoscope (ED) is a skin surface microscope utilizing oil immersion. Digital ED achieves epiluminescence by cross-polarization, with real-time images shown on computer screen.

Non-digital and digital ED can assist to identify peripheral scaling in pityriasis rosea (PR). Additional advantages of digital ED include higher magniยฎcations, a dry and convenient procedure, direct patient involvement, and easy appreciation of the relationship between microscopic changes and macroscopic clinical signs. PR is a particularly good teaching model as the histopathological changes almost exactly mirror changes seen under digital ED. Digital ED also allows easy image storage for record keeping, teaching and research.

## SUMMARY Collarette scaling is a characteristic sign in pityriasis rosea. The use of digital epiluminescence dermatoscopy is proposed to assist in the recognition of this sign as this technique can magnify the lesions, eliminate other epidermal changes, and demonstrate the morphology and directio

## Abstract ## Objective To identify carer and patient characteristics associated with various aspects of burden of care. ## Method The burden on 196 carers, each caring for one patient with dementia, was rated by means of the Relative Stress Scale (RSS). Patients were assessed with the Mini Men
