Article Synopsis
- The study compares the effectiveness and safety of a 5% potassium hydroxide (KOH) solution to cryotherapy for treating genital warts, seeking a noninvasive and cost-effective option.
- Both treatments were tested on 98 patients, with follow-ups over 12 weeks to assess recovery time and side effects.
- Results showed no significant differences in treatment response, relapse rates, or side effects between the two methods, indicating that KOH and cryotherapy have similar efficacy and safety.
Article Synopsis
- A clinical trial investigated the impact of topical tretinoin gel on cosmetic results following rhinoplasty in patients with thick nasal skin, involving 49 participants from 2019 to 2021.
- Patients were divided into a treatment group receiving the gel and a control group receiving a placebo, with evaluations conducted at one, three, and six months post-surgery.
- Results showed significantly higher satisfaction and dermatologist scores for the tretinoin group, indicating it may help reduce acne and improve satisfaction early on, although it did not significantly change overall cosmetic outcomes by the end.
Background: There are several methods for the diagnosis of autoimmune bullous disease. Direct immunofluorescent (DIF) testing is an important diagnostic method in the diagnosis of immunobullous disease but requires skilled pathologist, fresh tissue and well-equipped laboratory to perform the procedure. The immunohistochemistry analysis of C4d and C3d is easily compared with other methods.

It mainly manifests as a solitary lesion in the head and neck; however, rarely, it may involve the trunk and limbs, typically with a linear pattern. Here, we report an extremely rare case of congenital linear syringocystadenoma papilliferum on the left buttock near the anus in a 6-year-old girl.

- Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a type of skin disease affecting mainly patients in specific countries, including Iran, and this study focuses on diagnosing it using PCR techniques in Mashhad, Iran.
- The research involved 64 patients with chronic granulomatosis dermatitis from 2009 to 2013, where they collected demographic data, performed histological evaluations, and used PCR diagnostics on skin samples.
- Of the specimens tested, 7 showed DNA presence linked to CL, with results indicating common locations for lesions and various histological changes, highlighting the effectiveness of PCR for diagnosis in these cases.*
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare skin conditions between patients with pseudoexfoliative glaucoma (PEXG) and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) using a cross-sectional analysis at a tertiary eye hospital.
- Results revealed that while both patient groups exhibited common skin issues like seborrheic dermatitis, the PEXG group had a significantly higher frequency of lentigines (p = 0.013), but no other significant differences were found in skin manifestations between the two.
- The findings suggest that skin disorders are prevalent in glaucoma patients, highlighting the importance of dermatological evaluations as part of their treatment and diagnosis.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the impact of botulinum toxin type A treatments on body image, personality traits, and quality of life (QoL) in women, reflecting a growing interest in minimally invasive cosmetic procedures.
- Conducted with 89 women undergoing botulinum treatments and a control group of 101 matched individuals, the research utilized various questionnaires to gather data on quality of life and personality characteristics.
- Results indicated that women receiving treatments reported significantly higher QoL in physical and psychological domains and exhibited higher conscientiousness, with no indications of body dysmorphic disorder or problematic personality traits compared to the control group.
Article Synopsis
- - Nevus comedonicus (NC) is a rare skin condition that appears as dark, firm papules with plugs and typically develops shortly after birth, though late-onset cases can occur at any age.
- - It's not linked to any specific gender or race, but may be associated with nevus comedonicus syndrome, which involves other health issues affecting the skeletal, ocular, and nervous systems.
- - A case study describes a 27-year-old woman with asymptomatic, linear skin lesions on various parts of her body for ten years, with a biopsy showing specific skin changes characteristic of NC.
Background: Currently, teledermatology assumes a progressively greater role in the modern healthcare system, especially in consultation, diagnosis, or examining lesions and skin cancers. One of the major challenges facing teledermatology systems is determining the optimal image compression method to efficiently reduce the space needed for electronic storage and data transmission.
Objective: To the objective and subjective assessment of HEIC compression method on dermatological color images and benchmarking the performance of High-Efficiency Image Coding (HEIC) with different algorithms to a feasibility study of the method for teledermatology.
Clinicians should always consider rare, atypical, and opportunistic infections in patients undergoing long-term systemic corticosteroid therapy. Diagnosis needs further evaluations and special consideration.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTreatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) continues to be a health concern, and alternative therapies with fewer side effects are substantially needed. This study aimed to determine the efficacy of intense pulsed light (IPL) with wavelength spectrum affecting vascular lesions on acute cutaneous leishmaniasis. In this randomized clinical trial study, 30 patients with acute CL were enrolled.

Methods: This phase-II clinical trial study has been performed with parallel group with blinding of the evaluator. The skin lesions of the patients (15 patients and 30 lesions) with cutaneous macular amyloidosis were randomly assigned into laser and no-treatment groups.
Background And Objective: Efficacious and safe treatments are lacking for cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL). This study investigates the efficacy of adding diphencyprone immunotherapy to conventional meglumine antimoniate (MA) treatment for acute urban CL.
Methods: This randomized controlled pilot study included 46 patients with acute CL.
Anogenital warts (AGW) are one of the most common venereal diseases. Psychosocial complications and quality of life (QoL) of AGW patients have been considered only in recent years. Herein, the QoL and psychopathology in patients with AGW are evaluated.

- - The study explores the psychological profiles of patients with Alopecia Areata (AA) compared to healthy individuals, using various psychological assessments.
- - Findings reveal that AA patients exhibit higher levels of harm avoidance and reward dependence, particularly in females, indicating distinct temperament traits related to their condition.
- - A connection is observed between the history of AA relapses and increased psychiatric symptoms, emphasizing the importance of considering mental health in AA treatment plans.
Background: Lichen planus is a mucocutaneous papulosquamous itchy disease with unknown etiology. A number of factors such as immune mechanisms, viral agents, and drugs have been implicated in pathogenesis of lichen planus. In recent years, several studies have indicated the role of viral agents in this disease, including human herpesvirus-7 (HHV-7).
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Female pattern hair loss (FPHL) is the most common cause of alopecia in women, characterized by diffuse nonscarring hair loss in frontal, central, and parietal areas of the scalp. Pathophysiology of FPHL is still not well known, and it is probably a multifactorial genetic trait. FPHL is also observed in women without increased androgen levels, which raises the likelihood of androgen-independent mechanisms and explains the lack of response to antiandrogen treatments in some patients.
