Anogenital warts are an infectious disorder of the anogenital lesion caused by one or more human papilloma viruses. Verruca is commonly treated with freezing with liquid nitrogen, laser therapy or application of imiquimod. Such ablative treatment may cause pain and scars on the anogenital lesion. We herein report an infant case of anogenital wart which was successfully treated with a topical vi...

This research describes a voltammetric approach to determine amounts of vitamin C (Ascorbic acid) in orange juice sample, using three screen printed electrode. The anodic currents of vitamin C were proportional to vitamin C concentration in the range of 0 – 10.0 mM with the limit of detection of 1.36 mM. The method was successfully employed with 2 μL of the working solution dropped on the elect...

Photoaging results in numerous clinical effects in the skin, including wrinkles, textural changes, dyspigmentation, telengiectasia, and lentigines. Long-term sunlight exposure has been shown to increase the risk of actinic keratoses and nonmelanoma skin cancer. Amongst the approaches undertaken to reduce this risk are laser skin resurfacing as well as topical therapies. Concerning the latter, a...

Topical therapy as monotherapy is useful in psoriasis patients with mild disease. Topical agents are also used as adjuvant for moderate-to-severe disease who are being concurrently treated with either ultraviolet light or systemic medications. Emollients are useful adjuncts to the treatment of psoriasis. Use of older topical agents such as anthralin and coal tar has declined over the years. How...

Introduction.?It is generally recognized that human beings, monkeys and guinea-pigs do not synthesize vitamin C in their body. The difference in the time of onset of the symptoms ?f vitamin C deficiency were attributed to differences in age, sex and locality. The great extent to which pregnant women could tolerate vitamin C deficiency could not be explained. It has, however, been suggested that...

Pearls c Eye movement abnormalities can be helpful with topical localization. c Vertical nystagmus (downbeat and upbeat nystagmus) is typically caused by posterior fossa lesions. Other causes include medication side effects, vitamin deficiencies, inflammatory and autoimmune/paraneoplastic conditions, and hereditary and degenerative cerebellar ataxias. c Lesions in the posterior fossa such as me...

BACKGROUND Rosacea is a common skin disorder affecting middle-aged and older adults. Many patients mistakenly assume that early rosacea is normally aging skin and are not aware that effective treatments exist to prevent progression to permanent disfiguring skin changes. METHODS The medical literature was reviewed on the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of rosacea. MEDLINE was searche...

The oxidation of methyl linoleate in solution initiated with azo compounds has been studied in the absence and presence of vitamin E and vitamin C. Both vitamin E and vitamin C acted as a chain-breaking antioxidant and they suppressed the oxidation and produced an induction period. The inhibition rate constant for the scavenging of peroxy radical was calculated at 37 degrees C as kinh = 5.1 X 1...

conclusions in sum, the results indicate that the consumption of vitamin c can decrease the lipid peroxidation and increase the level of tac, and is ineffective on enzyme and non-enzyme antioxidants and muscle damage. objectives the aim of the present research was to study the effect of endurance swimming training with the consumption of a vitamin c supplement on indices of oxidative stress and...
