Article Synopsis
- Laser-assisted hair removal, specifically using an alexandrite laser, is a common solution for patients with unwanted hair, but the impact of pulse duration on results is not well understood.
- In a study involving 50 women with facial hirsutism, treatments with 3 ms and 10 ms pulse durations were compared over three sessions.
- The findings showed no significant difference in hair clearance rates or side effects between the two pulse durations, indicating that both are equally effective and safe for hair removal.
Background: Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune subepidermal blistering disease associated with immune response against BP-180 and BP-230. Peripheral blood eosinophilia and dermal infiltration of eosinophils are common findings in BP.
Objective: The aim of our study was to demonstrate a statistical correlation between dermal and peripheral blood eosinophilia, anti BP-180, and anti BP-230 IgG and clinical severity of BP.
Contact immunotherapy with diphenylcyclopropenone (DPCP) and anthralin is considered the treatment option for extensive alopecia areata (AA) unresponsive to DPCP immunotherapy alone. Only one study has described the efficacy of combination therapy; therefore, we investigated whether topical DPCP and anthralin can promote hair regrowth in DPCP-non responders. In this retrospective case-series we analyzed the efficacy and side effects of DPCP with anthralin in AA patients who did not respond to several months of treatment with DPCP alone.
