Many of the clinical findings in rheumatoid arthritis are consistent with an infectious aetiology. Direct methods of demonstrating infectious agents in rheumatoid tissues have given apparently conflicting results (Bartholomew, 1967; Duthie, Stewart, Alexander, and Dayhoff, 1967; Sharp, 1970).

BACKGROUND Melasma is a common pigmentary disorder that affects all skin types but is seen more in individuals with Fitzpatrick skin type IV to VI. Safe and effective treatment options for melasma need to be explored. Already proven effective for the treatment of pigmentary disorders, lasers have been used to treat melasma in recent years. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety profile...

We present a multiple antenna system for industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM)-band transmission (MASI). The hardware demonstrator was developed and realized at our institute. It enables multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)-communication applications and is capable of transmiting arbitrary signals using 8 transmit and 8 receive antennas in parallel. It operates in the 2.4GHz ISM-band. The ...

Background Melasma is a common disorder of pigmentation, characterized by symmetric brown or brown-gray patches in sun-exposed facial areas. Hydroquinone (HQ) is the most effective agent in melasma treatment; however it has some adverse events (AE) that limit its extensive use. We evaluated the clinical response of aminoacid filaggrin-based antioxidants (AFBA) in Mexican patients with centrofac...
