- Some weeks ago I requested information from any workers in the field
- of assessment of skin with reference to incontinence dermatitis and
- measurement of pressure sores. I got precisely one reply, from a group
- in Wales who are concerned with pressure sore measurement. There
- appears no interest in measuring (e.g.) the colour of erythematous
- skin in incontinent patients. A search though index medicus has
- revealed a similar lack of information.
-
- I am writing a paper on this subject, and will finish it this week,
- and will place the initial draft in the ftp site ftp.warwick as
- ftp.warwick.ac.uk:/pub/papers/skin_assess.ps (postscript) and
- ftp.warwick.ac.uk:/pub/papers/skin_assess.tex (latex). If anyone has
- any interest in this and cannot ftp it I will email it, please state
- whether postscript or latex is required.
-
- If anyone missed previous posting and has some contribution to make I
- should be most grateful.
