Article Synopsis
- Frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) is a type of hair loss marked by receding hairlines, itching, and small facial bumps, with many treatments available but some symptoms proving hard to treat.
- A review of 12 studies found that oral isotretinoin may significantly improve treatment-resistant facial papules in FFA patients, although the current evidence comes mainly from retrospective studies and case reports.
- The findings suggest that isotretinoin could be a beneficial treatment option, but more rigorous research is needed to confirm its effectiveness.
Article Synopsis
- * A case study reports a 61-year-old woman who underwent total excisional surgery and A-T flap surgery for a recurring MAC lesion on her right eyebrow, showing no recurrence after two years.
- * The study highlights the importance of considering MAC in medical diagnoses and emphasizes the need for complete surgical excision, long-term follow-up, and the potential of hair transplantation to address scarring from surgery.
Introduction: Melasma is an acquired pigmentary disorder which currently has no definitive treatment. Although topical drugs containing hydroquinone are the basis of treatments, they are usually associated with recurrence. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of monotherapy with topical methimazole 5% versus combination of Q-Switched Nd: YAG Laser and topical methimazole 5% in patients with refractory melasma.

- - This study compares the effectiveness of carboxytherapy and fractional CO laser therapy for treating periorbital dark circles (PDC), a common cosmetic concern with only moderate improvement from existing treatments.
- - In a study involving 30 patients, each underwent both treatments on opposite sides of their face, assessing satisfaction from both the patients and physicians over four sessions with two-week intervals.
- - Results showed that fractional CO laser therapy led to significantly higher satisfaction ratings from both patients and physicians after the second session, indicating it is a more effective option than carboxytherapy for improving PDC.
Vitiligo is a pigment-related disease with a global prevalence of 0.2% to 1.8% associated with considerable burden on quality of life.

Methodology: Thirty-one patients with FFA were divided randomly into two groups.
Background And Purpose: Cryptococcal meningitis (CM) is a serious fungal infection that especially affects patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). In this regard, the present retrospective study aimed to analyze the clinical and laboratory features and therapeutic outcomes of patients with CM admitted to two teaching referral centers in the north of Iran during 2011-19.
Materials And Methods: This study was performed on all the hospitalized patients diagnosed with CM in two therapeutic centers of infectious diseases in the north of Iran.
Pemphigus vulgaris (PV), an autoimmune blistering disease is treated with immunosuppressive medications. As the immunosuppressive effect of rituximab, the first-line therapy of PV, lasts more than 6 months, many concerns have raised due to the ongoing novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. With this background, our objective was to review the currently available literature as well as important websites for the evidence related to rituximab, PV and COVID-19, adverse effects associated with drugs, and relevant guidelines.
