Inducible HSP70 (HSP70i) chaperones peptides from stressed cells, protecting them apoptosis. Upon extracellular release, HSP70i serves an adjuvant function, enhancing immune responses to bound peptides. We questioned whether differentially protects control and vitiligo melanocytes stress subsequent responses. compared expression of in skin samples, evaluated the viability primary exposed bleaching phenols, measured secreted HSP70i. determined traffics melanosomes contact immunogenic proteins...
Summary Background Forehead and glabella rhytides are treated mostly with neurotoxins, although some practitioners prefer the concurrent use of fillers. It has been suggested that combination treatments can result in a better overall improvement. Aims To compare safety effectiveness treatment forehead glabellar lines botulinum toxin A alone versus filler. Methods Split‐face, randomized control trial. Twenty subjects forehead/glabellar rhytide complex (static dynamic creases) enrolled....
Transcutaneous injection through smaller hollow-bore needles may decrease patient discomfort, but current evidence is equivocal.To compare discomfort in patients treated with botulinum toxin type A 30- and 32-gauge needles.Split-face, patient- injector-blinded randomized clinical trial at the dermatology service of an urban university medical center. The 20 participants were women aged 25 to 70 years good health moderate dynamic forehead glabellar wrinkles. Data collected from November 20,...
BACKGROUND The considerably high risk of skin cancer development among transplant recipients warrants effective and efficient patient education on sun-protective behaviors. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness satisfaction a brief educational video risks behaviors in population during routine posttransplant follow-up visit, as compared with an handout. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred patients were randomized to receive either or pamphlet about cancer. primary outcome measure was...
Pulsed dye laser (PDL) has been used to treat acne lesions and scar erythema by interrupting superficial vasculature. Salicylic acid chemical peels are employed chiefly due their lipophilic, comedolytic, anti-inflammatory properties. Although studies have looked at therapy independently in management, we examined these treatments combination. Our primary objective was evaluate the safety efficacy of concurrent use salicylic with PDL versus alone treatment moderate severe vulgaris.Adult...
Rationale: Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN), derived from precursors of cells, is a rare and aggressive malignancy with frequent cutaneous involvement. Although lesions are often chemosensitive, BPDCN portends poor prognosis as most patients relapse after developing drug resistance. Patient concerns: We report case 65-year-old man who presented rapidly enlarging hyperpigmented plaque on his shoulder subsequent similarly appearing macules plaques chest, back, neck....
BACKGROUND As the demand for cosmetic treatments increases, it is important dermatology residents to be educated about and achieve proficiency in dermatologic procedures. OBJECTIVE To assess residents' educational exposure dermatology. MATERIALS AND METHODS An anonymous 18-question survey was sent electronically 1,266 requesting information training during residency. RESULTS Two hundred sixty-eight responded (21% response rate). Most receive didactic instruction (94%) hands-on (91%) on...
Patients presenting with a site-specific skin complaint may receive total body examination (TBSE) or more focused examination. A TBSE be time-consuming but can potentially detect unsuspected early stage cancers. The purpose of this study was to assess the detection cancers associated dermatologist-initiated performed immediately after on same patients.The dermatology records patients biopsy-proven melanoma, basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous (SCC) during 2-year period were reviewed....
A pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a rapidly growing benign vascular tumor that can be found on the skin or subcutaneous tissue. While some granulomas may resolve spontaneously, most have tendency to bleed easily and require treatment. Current therapeutic modalities include topical imiquimod, cryotherapy, electrodessication, curettage, excision, laser therapy, sclerotherapy, microembolization. We report recalcitrant case of chronic occurring scalp healthy young male which was unresponsive...
Burn scars cause cosmetic disfigurement and psychosocial distress. We present two Fitzpatrick phototype (FP) III patients with burn successfully treated combination pulsed dye laser (PDL) non-ablative fractional lasers (NAFL).
