Since its use was first reported by 8rowne and Hogerzeil in 1962 ('0. /I), 8663, a synthesized phenazine dye, has proven to be an effective drug in the treatment of human leprosy and its use has become worldwide ( 2.7.9 " . 26. 3~. 39. 52. 5.1 ). The most significant and frequent side effect of this compound is an abnormal skin coloration. This can be divided into two types. One is an initial r...

A research study was carried out on the indirect selection efforts amongst small scale holders of West African Dwarf (WAD) goats based on coat pigmentation and wattle types in Ogbomoso, Nigeria using personal interviews and structured questionnaires given using simple random on-farm techniques. The questionnaires were focused on the ownership distribution, preferred pigmentation and wattle type...

background although, melasma is most prevalent among asian young women, and also darkly pigmented individuals are particularly prone to developing post inflammatory hyperpigmentation, to the best of our knowledge, there are rare or no studies about the association of melasma and post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. results we found out that 24.1% of patients without melasma had post-acne pigmen...

Multiple exposures to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) are the norm in nature and phototherapy. However, studies of the kinetics of pigmentation following UVA exposure have included only fair-skinned persons. The aim of this study was to investigate steady-state pigmentation and fading in 12 Scandinavians and 12 Indians/Pakistanis after 6 and 12 exposures on the back using broadband UVA and UVA1 wit...

BACKGROUND Cigarette smoking is a significant risk factor for periodontal disease. It also causes pigmentation of oral mucosa. The present study was aimed to assess the effects of smoking on lip and gingival pigmentation and periodontal status and the relationship between pigmentation and periodontal parameters. METHODS A total of 109 smokers and an equal number of non-smoker controls (mean a...

nekam's disease is a rare dermatosis characterized by a distinctive seborrheic dermatitis with prominent facial eruption.  it is further associated with violaceous, papular, and/or nodular lesions on the extremities and trunk, typically arranged in a linear and reticulate pattern.  herein, describe a patient with nekam's disease, which resembled darier’s disease in clinical manifestation.  the ...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Pollen characters have been widely used in defining evolutionary trends in orchids. In recent years, information on pollination biology and phylogenetic patterns within Orchidinae has become available. Hence, the aim of the presented work is to re-evaluate exine micromorphology of Orchidinae in light of recent phylogenetic studies and to test whether pollen micromorphology s...

This study aims to determine the level of addition bean sprout flour in feed as vitamin E help reproductive system rearing guppy fish (Poecilia reticulate). The design used was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 4 treatments 3 replications, each treatment was: A. Without Sprout Flour 0% (SF 0%), B 2% 2.0%), C 4% 4.0%), D 6% 6,0%). this were female measuring 0,38 – 0,51 gram. Growth gonad...

Betaine is a permanent zwitterion. The molecular betaine anion has been generated in a hybrid, infrared desorption-electron photoemission source and its photoelectron spectrum recorded. The photoelectron spectrum of the betaine anion is characteristic of a dipole bound anion, and its vertical detachment energy was measured to be 0.29+/-0.03 eV. Calculations by Rak, Skurski, and Gutowski [J. Che...
