Microinjection Technique: A Novel and Comprehensive Approach for Nose Reshaping with Hyaluronic Acid Fillers.

Introduction: Nose reshaping with hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, also known as medical rhinoplasty, is an increasingly popular, minimally invasive aesthetic procedure. As the demand for nasal reshaping continues to rise, it is essential to develop safe and efficient injection techniques and assess satisfaction to ensure optimal outcomes and patient-centered care.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate patient and physician satisfaction with hyaluronic acid filler applications using microinjection technique for nasal reshaping.

Use of combined fractional carbon dioxide laser and fractional microneedle radiofrequency for the treatment of acne scars: A retrospective analysis of 1-month treatment outcome on scar severity and patient satisfaction.

Background: Acne scars lead to social and psychological problems for patients, and they should be treated effectively. Ablative and nonablative lasers have been used for the treatment of acne scars in recent years.

Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectivity of combined FCL and FmRF treatment for acne scars retrospectively.

The effect of personal, familial, and environmental characteristics on acne vulgaris: a prospective, multicenter, case controlled study.

Background: There are only a few studies about epidemiological features of acne vulgaris in the literature. The aim of this study was to analyze demographic, clinical, familial and environmental characteristics of acne, the role of diet and aggravating factors and association of these factors with acne severity.

Methods: Patients with a diagnosis of mild-moderate to severe acne were consecutively interviewed at the participating centers during the study period.

The Effect of Long-Pulsed Nd:YAG Laser for the Treatment of Onychomycosis.

Background: Topical onychomycosis therapies are usually inadequate, and patient compliance to systemic therapies is poor. Recently, interest in laser therapy for the treatment of onychomycosis has increased. We sought to investigate the efficacy of long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser therapy for onychomycosis.

Treatment Outcomes of Long-Pulsed Nd: YAG Laser for Two Different Subtypes of Rosacea.

Background: A variety of lasers have been used for the treatment of rosacea. However, treatment of this condition with long-pulsed neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet laser has not been reported yet.

Objective: To assess the efficacy and safety of long-pulsed neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet laser in two different subtypes (erythematotelangiectatic and papulopustular) of rosacea.

The effect of 25(OH)D on endothelial and immunological markers in Behçet's disease.

Background: Endothelial selectine molecules (ESMs) and Toll-like receptors (TLRs) were suggested to be associated with the pathogenesis of Behçet's disease (BD). 25(OH)D deficiency may be associated with endothelial and immune dysfunction. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between the 25(OH)D level, and ESMs and TLRs in BD patients.

G-231A and G+70C Polymorphisms of Endothelin Receptor Type-A Gene could Affect the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index Score and Endothelin 1 Levels.

Background: The etiopathogenesis of psoriasis has not been clearly elucidated although the role of chronic inflammation, imbalance between pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, and many immunological events have been established. Endothelin 1 (EDN1) and endothelin receptor type-A (EDNRA) are implicated in the inflammatory process. The relationships between EDN1 and EDNRA polymorphisms with several diseases have been found.

Evaluation of an ablative and non-ablative laser procedure in the treatment of striae distensae.

Background: Striae distensae or stretch marks are atrophic linear dermal scars with epidermal atrophy. There are many therapeutic options for management, but no consistently effective modality is available yet.

Objective: We compared the efficacy of 1064 nm long pulse (LP) Nd: YAG laser and 2940 nm variable square pulse (VSP) erbium: YAG laser in the treatment of striae distensae.

Soft tissue chondroma of the index finger: clinical, histological and radiological findings in a unique case.

A chondroma is a benign, slow-growing cartilaginous tumor. When arising in the medullary cavity of a bone it is referred to as an enchondroma-a very common bone tumor. When occurring in soft tissue without any connection to bone, which is extremely rare, it is known as a soft-tissue chondroma (STC).

Comparison of phenol matricectomy and nail-splinting with a flexible tube for the treatment of ingrown toenails.

Background: The treatment of ingrown toenail is usually bothersome for patients and doctors.

Objectives: To compare two treatment techniques of ingrown toenails-phenol matricectomy (PM) and nail-splinting using a flexible tube (FT)-in terms of efficacy, postoperative pain, postoperative cosmetic satisfaction, amount of tissue damage, and recurrence.

Methods And Materials: One hundred twenty ingrown toenails were randomized and divided into PM and FT groups.

Erbium: YAG laser ablation versus 70% trichloroacetıc acid application in the treatment of xanthelasma palpebrarum.

Background: Xanthelasma palpebrarum (XP) is characterized by soft, yellow plaques on the upper or lower eyelids that create aesthetic problems for patients. There are several methods in the treatment of XP, such as surgical excision, blepharoplasty, cryotherapy, electrocauterization, chemical cauterization using trichloroacetic acid (TCA) or bichloroacetic acid and laser ablation.

Objective: To evaluate the efficiency and complications of 70% TCA application versus erbium: YAG laser ablation in different XP lesions on the same patient.

Intracranial anaplastic meningioma presenting as a cutaneous lesion: a case report of a cutaneous meningioma.

Meningiomas are tumors of the central nervous system that rarely present as extracranial soft tissue masses. Meningioma of the skin is referred to as cutaneous meningioma. Cutaneous meningioma of the scalp is extremely rare and may cause diagnostic challenges.

Perianal rhabdomyosarcoma: report of a case in an infant and review of the literature.

Rhabdomyosarcoma of the perianal and perineal region is a rare sarcoma of childhood with a poor prognosis. The clinical findings are similar to those of condyloma accuminata, which makes it difficult to diagnose. There are a few reports of this disease in the dermatologic literature.

Therapy-resistant leg ulcer in a patient with Rothmund-Thomson syndrome.

Rothmund-Thomson syndrome (RTS) is a rare genodermatosis with characteristic skin changes such as atrophy, abnormal pigmentation and telengiectasias, skeletal abnormalities, short stature, juvenile cataract and predisposition to skin and bone malignancies. Data from the literature suggest that cutaneous findings of the syndrome include genetically programmed ageing changes and DNA repair abnormalities related to photosensitivity. Our patient is a 23-year-old male who presented with an unhealing ulcer for one and a half year on his left leg.

Paraneoplastic porphyria cutanea tarda associated with cholangiocarcinoma: case report.

The porphyrias are a group of disorders of the heme biosynthesis pathway that present with acute neurovisceral symptoms, skin lesions or both. Porphyria cutanea tarda, presenting as a non-acute form, is the most common type of porphyria that encompasses a group of related disorders, all of which arise from deficient activity of the heme synthetic enzyme, uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase, in the liver. In the literature, concomitant presentation of porphyria with hepatocellular carcinoma is common; however, no case of porphyria cutanea tarda associated with cholangiocarcinoma has been seen.
