The patient presented in Table 2 shows that the levels of each Ab assay decreases over time with adherence to a gluten-free diet. Although definitive conclusions c...

متن کاملTreatment of solar lentigo with cryosurgery.

Lower tissue temperatures or repeated freeze ± thaw applications lead to skin necrosis (2). Selective destruction of melanocytic lesions by skin freezing can therefore be achieved without epithelial loss or skin necrosis if certain technical requirements are taken into account...
