Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates the effectiveness of two different laser treatments for Striae distensae (SA) in three female patients, comparing fractional CO2 laser alone to a combination of fractional CO2 and Pulsed Dye Laser (PDL).
  • Eighty-eight lesions were randomly treated with either treatment, and changes were measured through digital photos and a patient satisfaction scale before and after the procedures.
  • Results showed that the combination treatment of PDL and fractional CO2 laser led to significantly greater improvements in lesion size and patient-reported satisfaction compared to the fractional CO2 laser alone.

Background: There are several studies about the positive relation between physical inactivity or low cardio respiratory fitness with development of metabolic syndrome (MS). In contrast, physical activity had favourable effects on all components of MS but the quantity and the frequency of physical activity necessary to produce this beneficial effect has not been defined as yet. The aim of this survey was to study the association of regular physical activity, measured by patient's estimation of walking time per day, with MS.
