Vitiligo is a polygenic acquired skin disorder resulting from the destruction of melanocytes in epidermal cells. Conventional therapeutic options include covering agents, topical corticosteroids, immunomodulators, phototherapy with psolaren ultraviolet A (PUVA) and narrowband B (NBUVB). However, successful repigmentation these modalities expected only half patients. This study aimed to compare ...

Abstract Vitiligo is a disease that causes the loss of skin color in patches due to melanin pigmentation specific areas skin. Although several hypotheses have been proposed, leading theory still auto-immune etiology linked genetic mutations. can also be associated with autoimmune diseases. There no curative treatment for vitiligo but, modalities are considered. Topical therapies like steroids a...

Transition wavelengths on a large set of H2 Lyman and Werner band spectral lines have been obtained at an accuracy of 5 x 10(-8), using a narrow band tunable extreme ultraviolet laser. The data are used to determine a constraint on a possible cosmological variation of the proton-to-electron mass ratio (mu=Mp/me) from a comparison with highly redshifted spectral data of quasistellar objects, yie...

BACKGROUND Vitiligo is a T cell mediated autoimmune depigmenting disease. Altered cytokine concentrations have been suggested in the pathogenesis of vitiligo. METHODS T helper and regulatory T cell cytokines (IL-2, IFN-γ, IL-10, IL-13, IL-17 and TGF-β) have been estimated by ELISA and their clinical correlation was determined. The study had 3 groups: group I with 80 vitiligo patients (60 acti...
