Moist desquamation : ウィキペディア英語版 | Moist desquamation Moist desquamation is a description of the clinical pattern seen as a consequence of radiation exposure where the skin thins and then begins to weep because of loss of integrity of the epithelial barrier and decreased oncotic pressure. Typically this occurs at doses of 15 - 20 Gray, far higher than any diagnostic scan and more typical of levels seen in radiotherapy or deployment of nuclear armament. Historically, this was a common phenomenon in Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II with the atomic bomb attacks from the United States.〔Huda, W. Review of Radiologic Physics. 3rd edition. Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2009.〕 The phenomenon was famously described by John Hersey in his article, and later book, Hiroshima. ==Clinical characteristics==
Sloughing of the epidermis and exposure of the dermal layer clinically characterize moist desquamation. Outside of medical therapy, when moist desquamation is seen in the setting of nuclear warfare, the condition is generally thought to be fatal.
