Abstract Fractional radiofrequency microneedling is a novel technique that uses insulated microneedles to deliver energy the deep dermis at point of penetration without destruction epidermis. It has been used for treatment various dermatological conditions including wrinkles, atrophic scars and hypertrophic scars. There have few studies evaluating efficacy fractional in acne, none measuring objective parameters like number inflammatory non‐inflammatory acne lesions or sebum excretion levels....
To examine the relationship between optic disc torsion and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness through a comparison with macular ganglion cell inner plexiform complex (GCIPL) measured by Cirrus optical coherence tomography (OCT).Ninety-four eyes of 94 subjects 114 without were enrolled prospectively. The participants underwent fundus photography OCT imaging in RNFL mode GCIPL mode. divided into groups according to presence or absence torsion. further supranasal...
The feasibility of expanding the indications for endoscopic submucosal dissection to treat early gastric cancer based on long-term outcomes has shown conflicting results. This study aimed investigate whether or adverse events associated with are comparable those surgery that including absolute and expanded indications. Data 159 cancers from 153 patients treated between January 2004 October 2014 were reviewed retrospectively. Early fulfilled differentiated type adenocarcinoma included. group...
Rifaximin, a poorly absorbed antibiotics, has gut-specific therapeutic effects. Although frequently prescribed to manipulate intestinal luminal bacterial population in various diseases, the possible induction of antibacterial cross-resistance target pathogen is major concern long-term rifaximin administration. We aimed evaluate whether rifampin-resistant staphylococci could evolve after treatment cirrhotic patients.A total 25 patients who were administered for prevention hepatic...
The eradication rate of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) with triple therapy which was considered as standard first-line treatment has decreased to 70-85%. aim this study is compare 7-day versus 10-day sequential the first line treatment.Data 1240 H. positive patients treated or from January 2013 December 2015 were analyzed retrospectively. who had undertaken previous gastric surgery excluded.There 872 (74.3%) in group, and 302 (25.7%) group. There no significant difference between two groups...
An epidermal cyst is a common keratin-filled epithelial-lined cyst. The treatment of choice for cysts surgical excision. If the becomes ruptured, incision and drainage with oral antibiotic therapy or intralesional steroid injection are required.To analyze dermoscopic features that can differentiate between ruptured unruptured cysts.The clinical pathologically confirmed two subgroups 38 patients, 20 18 cysts, were reviewed.With regard to features, an ivory- white background color punctum...
Abdominal and pelvic recurrence of pseudomyxoma peritonei after the surgery is occasionally seen but extraperitoneal spread hematogeneous metastases are rare. This case provides interesting radiologic findings spread, which occurred an extremely long interval from initial diagnosis.
Degos disease, also referred to as malignant atrophic papulosis, was first described in 1941 by Köhlmeier and independently 1942. disease is characterized diffuse, papular skin eruptions with porcelain-white centers slightly raised erythematous telangiectatic rims associated bowel infarction. Although the etiology of unknown, autoimmune diseases, coagulation disorders, vasculitis have all been considered underlying pathogenic mechanisms. Approximately 15% a benign course limited no history...
The optimal chemical agent for additional pleurodesis during video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) bleb resection in primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) remains controversial. We compared the efficacy and safety of iodopovidone with those minocycline VATS resection.Of 332 patients who underwent resection, 299 diagnosed PSP were enrolled this study. divided into two groups according to agents used (iodopovidone versus minocycline). Propensity score matching was performed on basis...
Purpose: To investigate the effects of vitreomacular traction (VMT) on ranibizumab treatment response for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD).Methods: A retrospective review 85 eyes patients newly diagnosed with AMD was conducted.Patients were eligible if they had received more than three consecutive monthly (0.50 mg) treatments and ophthalmic evaluations.Patients classified into a VMT (+) group or (-) according to optical coherence tomography imaging.Best corrected visual...
Oblique lateral interbody fusion (OLIF) has recently gained widespread use as a minimally invasive surgical procedure for degenerative lumbar disease. OLIF several advantages but can also lead to possible complications. For example, although less common, access through the retroperitoneal cavity cause ureteral injury. Here, we report two cases of complications that occurred during consecutive procedures. One involved 77-year-old female patient who had double-J catheter inserted due injury...
Aspergillus is a ubiquitous fungus and can cause many levels of disease severity. Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis rare few cases have been reported in Korea. We experienced case pleural that was treated successfully with medical surgical interventions. The 52-year-old man who diagnosed chronic pulmonary underwent treatment including lobectomy, decortication, myoplasty. patient also medically amphotericin B followed by voriconazole. Pleural irrigation performed. A multi-dimensional approach...
To establish and validate a formula to predict spectral domain (SD)-optical coherence tomography (OCT) retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness from time (TD)-OCT RNFL measurements other factors.SD-OCT TD-OCT scans were obtained on the same day healthy participants patients with glaucoma. Univariate multivariate linear regression relationships analyzed convert average Stratus Cirrus SD-OCT measurements. Additional baseline characteristics included age, sex, intraocular pressure, central...
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent progenitor currently under investigation for its efficacy as the treatment inflammatory bowel disease. In this study, we evaluated of tonsil-derived mesenchymal (T-MSCs) a novel source and traced their localization in murine model acute colitis induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS).C57BL/6 mice were randomly assigned to following three groups: normal control group, DSS group (DSS+phosphate buffered saline), T-MSC (DSS+T-MSCs, 1×106). The...
Portal biliopathy is defined as abnormalities in the extra- and intrahepatic ducts gallbladder of patients with portal hypertension. This condition associated extrahepatic venous obstruction dilatation plexus common bile duct, resulting mural irregularities compression biliary tree. Most remain asymptomatic, but approximately 10% them advance to symptomatic abdominal pain, jaundice, fever. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography endoscopic retrograde are currently used diagnostic tools...
This is to report the technique of reversed iliac leg stent-graft in endovascular treatment for isolated internal artery (IIA) aneurysm, which had significant size discrepancy between common (CIA) and external (EIA) 3 patients from different hospitals. Three were a 85- two 82-year-old men. Treated right IIA aneurysms, sized 6.5×6.2 cm, 5.0×4.0 4.1 cm longest diameter, respectively. The diameters CIA EIA measured 21 mm/11 mm, 15 20 mm/10 In all cases, stent-grafts prepared on-site; unsheathed...
Klebsiella pneumonia e liver abscess has a tendency to spread distant sites early in the course of disease and involve multiple organs synchronously. A 59-year-old male was admitted because accompanied by fever abdominal pain. The patient underwent percutaneous catheter drainage received intravenous antibiotics. Symptom relief achieved after treatment as well marked reduction size abscess. Despite proper abscess, however, developed metastatic infections non-concurrent manner: left right...
