Choosing optimal wavelength for photodynamic therapy of port wine stains by mathematic simulation.
Many laser wavelengths have been used in photodynamic therapy (PDT) for port wine stains (PWS). However, how these wavelengths result in different PDT outcomes has not been clearly illuminated. This study is designed to analyze which wavelengths would be the most advantageous for use in PDT for PWS. The singlet oxygen yield in PDT-treated PWS skin under different wavelengths at the same photose...
متن کاملPulsed dye laser therapy for port-wine stains in children.
The port-wine stain is a disfiguring vascular birthmark that commonly occurs on the face. Amelioration of this condition in children was difficult or impossible until the introduction of the flashlamp-pumped pulsed dye laser in the late 1980s. This article provides an interdisciplinary social and ethical examination of pulsed dye laser therapy for port-wine stain in childhood. Specific issues r...
متن کاملA Medical Manipulator System with Lasers in Photodynamic Therapy of Port Wine Stains
Port wine stains (PWS) are a congenital malformation and dilation of the superficial dermal capillary. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) with lasers is an effective treatment of PWS with good results. However, because the laser density is uneven and nonuniform, the treatment is carried out manually by a doctor thus providing little accuracy. Additionally, since the treatment of a single lesion can tak...
متن کاملPort Wine Stains and Sturge-weber Syndrome
It is important for general practitioners to recognize cutaneous port-wine stains as these could signify important association with Sturge Weber syndrome, where neurological and ocular complications are likely. As importantly, advances in technology in the past two decades have made laser the standard of care for the management of port-wine stains. Port-wine stains are venous ectasias that are ...
متن کاملLaser treatment of port-wine stains
Port-wine stains are a type of capillary malformation affecting 0.3% to 0.5% of the population. Port-wine stains present at birth as pink to erythematous patches on the skin and/or mucosa. Without treatment, the patches typically darken with age and may eventually develop nodular thickening or associated pyogenic granuloma. Laser and light treatments provide improvement through selective destru...
