- - Phenol/croton oil is a powerful chemical peel used for deep skin resurfacing, promoting skin renewal, but its risks and effectiveness have not been widely researched.
- - A study involving 64 patients treated from 2014 to 2023 showed significant improvements in wrinkles and acne scars, with successful treatment of seborrheic keratosis while highlighting the mild and reversible nature of any side effects.
- - Despite its efficacy in skin rejuvenation, the use of phenol/croton oil should be approached with caution due to possible complications associated with the procedure.
Parry-Romberg syndrome is a hemifacial atrophy which can be complicated by melasma. We present two cases of Parry-Romberg syndrome, treated by fat transfer and bleaching of the skin using a modified "Kligman's formula." The atrophy, as well as the skin dyschromia, improved, and the results were stable.

The aim of the present study was to investigate in an experimental in vivo model the occurrence of apoptosis postangioplasty and its relation to bcl-2 and peroxynitrite detection. Eighteen hypercholesterolemic rabbits underwent transluminal angioplasty of the right iliac artery.
