Objective: Our objective is to analyze the significance of mobility of the ureterovesical junction (UVJ-M) and poster urethrovesical angle (PUVA) in diagnosing stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women, providing a reference for clinical diagnosis of SUI. Methods: A total of 90 female SUI patients admitted in our hospital between January, 2015-January, 2016 were selected as observation group, ...

Background: Psoriasis treatment is very important regard to mental sequeler and creating morbidity. First line treatment of generalized plaque type psoriasis includes methotrexate, phototherapy and retinoids. Objective: To compare bath-PUVA and acitretin in the treatment of generalized plaque type psoriasis. Patients and Methods: 40 patients with generalized plaque type psoriasis with PAS...

The transcapillary escape rate of albumin (TERalb), i.e., the fraction of intravascular albumin mass passing to the extravascular space per unit time, is a parameter of the leakage of macromolecules from the total microvasculature. In patients with psoriasis short-term PUVA treatment induces an increase in TERalb. In this study TERalb was measured in 3 groups of normal humans treated with PUVA,...

usually managed in the community with topical therapies and, if their psoriasis was generalized, only emollients were permitted; and many patients were lost to follow-up. Despite prolonged photosensitivity with TMP-bath PUVA and 8-MOP bath PUVA, our impression from this study is that the second soak is probably important, though the size of the study did not allow us to reach a definitive concl...

The expression of adhesion molecules Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and Vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) is increased in lesional and in non-lesional skin of psoriatic patients, and play role in pathogenesis of the disease. PUVA and UVB therapy are important treatments of psoriasis vulgaris. It has been demonstrated that UVA and UVB therapies reduce expression of these mol...

PURPOSE Sustained inflammation is a key feature of mycosis fungoides (MF), the most common form of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). Resident IL9-producing T cells have been found in skin infections and certain inflammatory skin diseases, but their role in MF is currently unknown. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We analyzed lesional skin from patients with MF for the expression of IL9 and its regulators....

Objectives This is a protocol for Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as follows: To assess the effects of phototherapy regimen (e.g. NB‐UVB, BB‐UVB, PUVA, UVA1) people with atopic eczema.

Introduction: Vitiligo is a specific, common, often heritable acquired disorder characterized by well-circumscribed milky white cutaneous macules and patches devoid of identifiable melanocyte. Treatment vitiligo, though quite frustrating, includes repigmentation therapies like Topical glucocorticoids, calcipotrieinene, PUVA (Psoralen + Ultraviolet Light A). The combination calcipotriol proves e...

Background: Treatment of early-stage mycosis fungoides (MF) consists of topical steroids, phototherapy (UVB), photochemotherapy (psoralen plus UVA [PUVA]), topical nitrogen mustard, or total skin electronbeam irradiation. It has been reported that the same effective UVB dose is safer than PUVA regarding carcinogenicity and produces fewer side effects. Narrowband UVB (311 nm) results in less irr...
