Prevalence and clinical characteristics of pruritus, and the factors significantly associated with high pruritic intensity in patients with psoriasis: a cross-sectional study.

Unlabelled: Despite the significant prevalence of pruritus in psoriasis, its pathogenesis remains unknown, and research on pruritus in Thai psoriasis patients is limited.

Objectives: The objective was to investigate the prevalence and clinical characteristics of pruritus, and the factors significantly associated with high pruritic intensity in Thai psoriasis patients.

Material And Methods: In a cross-sectional study design, pruritus data were collected from the medical records of patients who attended an outpatient psoriasis clinic in Thailand between 2020 and 2021.

A Prospective, Split-Face, Randomized Study Comparing Picosecond to Q-Switched Nd: YAG Laser for Treatment of Epidermal and Dermal Pigmented Lesions in Asians.

Background: Whether picosecond lasers outperform Q-switched lasers in treating pigmented lesions has not been clearly evaluated.

Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety of picosecond and Q-switched lasers in treating epidermal and dermal pigmented lesions in Asians.

Methods: Eight subjects with lentigines and 6 subjects with acquired bilateral nevus of Ota-like macules were enrolled.

Efficacy of olive leaf extract-containing cream for facial rejuvenation: A pilot study.

Background: Olive leaf extract (OLE), a naturally extracted product from olive leaves, contains oleuropein and other bioactive phenolic compounds. Oleuropein was identified to have various medical properties. It was also found to inhibit the effects of both acute and chronic UVB-induced skin damage as well as accelerate wound healing activity.

Predictors of serological cure after treatment in patients with early syphilis: A retrospective observational study in Thailand.

Background: Some patients with early syphilis who receive appropriate treatment do not reach a serological cure and have a persistent titer which does not meet the criteria for treatment failure (serofast state).

Aims: This retrospective study aimed to determine the prevalence of serological cure and the serofast state as well as the factors associated with serological cure after treatment of patients with early syphilis.

Methods: A serological cure was defined as occurring when there was a ≥4-fold decrease in nontreponemal titer, whereas patients with a ≥4-fold increase were considered as having either a treatment failure or reinfection.

Treatment outcome and persistence of repigmentation from narrow-band ultraviolet B phototherapy in vitiligo.

: Narrow-band ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) phototherapy is a mainstay treatment in vitiligo. However, data relative to repigmentation outcome, prognostic factors, and duration of repigmentation are limited. : To investigate the quantitative repigmentation outcome of NB-UVB phototherapy in vitiligo, the factors associated with favorable prognosis after NB-UVB, and the duration of repigmentation after NB-UVB discontinuation.
