New-onset cutaneous lichen planus following Vaxzevria (Oxford-AstraZeneca) COVID-19 vaccination.

SAGE Open Med Case Rep

December 2024

Department of Dermatology, College of Medicine, University of Saskatchewan, Regina, SK, Canada.

We report a 56-year-old male who developed cutaneous lichen planus (LP) following Vaxzevria (Oxford-AstraZeneca) COVID-19 vaccination. Multiple topical and systemic therapies were tried with limited success; however, partial improvement was observed with narrow-band UVB (NB-UVB) phototherapy. This report adds to the growing evidence of new-onset LP following COVID-19 vaccination and underscores the need for careful reporting, monitoring, and management of vaccine-related adverse effects.

Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is defined as the occurrence of hives, angioedema, or both, lasting for more than 6 weeks. The treatment is based on the use of antihistamines, omalizumab, and/or cyclosporine following a stepwise algorithm recommended by international guidelines with a high level of evidence. Nevertheless, management can be challenging as some patients do not respond to the suggested drugs or have difficulties accessing them for various reasons.

Introduction: This study addresses the gap in research comparing the effectiveness between home and in-office narrowband ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) phototherapy for the treatment of mycosis fungoides (MF). Elderly and disabled patients with this condition disproportionally lack access to home units due to insurance denial.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective review included patients diagnosed with MF or Sezary syndrome who underwent either in-office or home UVB between 2016 and 2023.

A Systematic Review of Case Series and Clinical Trials Investigating Regenerative Medicine for the Treatment of Vitiligo.

J Cosmet Dermatol

November 2024

Department of Dermatology, Rasool Akram Medical Complex Clinical Research Development Center (RCRDC), School of Medicine, Iran University of Medical Sciences (IUMS), Tehran, Iran.

Aims And Objectives: The aim of this study is to examine the efficacy and safety of various regenerative medicine treatments, such as cell therapy, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), plasma-poor platelet (PPP), plasma-rich fibrin (PRF), mesenchymal stem cells, stromal vascular fraction (SVF), exosomes, adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC), and stem cell-conditioned media (SC-CM), for treating vitiligo.

Method: We conducted a thorough search of major databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, and selected 48 articles based on specific criteria. We used EndNote X8 and Google Sheets to review and extract data from the articles.

Article Synopsis
  • Prurigo nodularis is a chronic skin condition that leads to intense itching, and narrowband-UVB (NB-UVB) phototherapy is a potential treatment, especially for patients with other health issues.
  • In a study involving 30 patients, NB-UVB therapy resulted in complete response (80%) or partial response (20%) to treatment, with better outcomes for those with diffuse and central lesions.
  • The study highlights the effectiveness and safety of NB-UVB for treating prurigo nodularis, but acknowledges its limitations, such as being conducted at a single center and having a retrospective design.
