Recent decades have seen the inclusion of acne vulgaris as a potential new indication for photodynamic therapy. Photodynamic therapy and light sources can be considered to be additional tools for primary or adjunctive therapy in patients with recurrent acne or those in whom it is not possible to use other treatments. We investigated the use of pulsed dye laser plus methylaminolevulinate for pho...

Actas Dermosifiliogr. 2008;99:493-501 494 application of 1% atropine has produced a response in some patients,8 but not in others.5,7 Other treatments include the use of CO2 lasers or pulsed dye laser,9 destruction using electrodesiccation with a fine needle electrode, and injections of botulinum toxin.10 In cases where there was an underlying disorder such as hyperthyroidism, resolution of the...

Lasers, 595-nm pulsed dye and 1,064-nm neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG), have been used successfully for the treatment of infantile hemangiomas (IHs). Recently the use of a topical β-blocker, specifically timolol maleate, has been promising in the treatment of IHs. The objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness of topical timolol 5 mg/mL solution with that of combi...

Three-dimensional mapping of atmospheric atomic mercury has been performed with lidar techniques, to our knowledge, for the first time. Industrial pollution monitoring, as well as measurements of background concentrations, is reported. High-efficiency frequency doubling of narrowband pulsed dye laser radiation was employed to generate intense radiation at the mercury UV resonance line. Field me...

Warts are benign epithelial neoplasms of the skin and mucosa resulting from human Papilloma virus (HPV) infection. They are a common dermatologic complaint, with an estimated incidence of 10% in children and young adults [1]. The treatment is challenging and there is no single therapy established as completely curative [2]. In this report we presented a case of successfully removed resistant pl...

introduction: pulsed dye laser (pdl) is an important treatment for superficial infantile hemangioma, but few studies report on its cellular mechanism. the aim of this study was to evaluate alterations of serum vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf) level in infantile hemangioma (ih) patients after laser treatment and effects of pdl irradiation on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (huvec...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The pulsed dye laser (PDL) is recognized both as an effective treatment for vascular malformations and the as first treatment of choice for these lesions. However, PDL irradiation has poor efficacy in some patients, particularly the elderly. The present study histologically assessed such patients to try to elucidate the reason. MATERIALS AND METHODS A pulsed dye laser was ...

background: acanthosis nigricans (an) is a brown to black, velvety hyperpigmentation of the skin that usually involves cutaneous folds. treatment of an is important regarding cosmetic reasons and various therapeutic modalities have been used for these purposes. the goal of this study was to compare the effectiveness of long-pulsed alexandrite laser and topical tretinoin-ammonium lactate for tre...
