چکیده
* Tinea pedis (athlete's foot) occurs in about 15% ofthe population * Its usual treatment is a topical antifungal applied two or three times a day for up to four weeks * Terbinafine is a synthetic allylamine antifungal with a primarily fungicidal action against dermatophytes and some other moulds and yeasts * This study shows that terbinafine 1% cream applied twice daily for a week was significantly more effective in treating tinea pedis than a four week course of clotrimazole 1% cream, both clinically and mycologically * Because it has a high efficacy in the short term terbinafine may become the preferred topical treatment for tinea pedis

Cue-induced craving is studied in laboratory settings using the cue reactivity paradigm, in which drug-related photos, videos, evocative scripts, olfactory cues, and paraphernalia may induce craving. Cue-induced craving evoked by drug-related stimuli could be associated with rela...
