Lasers have been used in surgery for over 20 years. Their application has expanded enormously due to a better understanding of laser/tissue interactions and the development of sophisticated delivery systems. Resurfacing techniques using a carbon dioxide laser in the treatment of acne scarring and wrinkles has proved to be a very effective tool. Certain cutaneous vascular malformations, benign and malignant skin lesions, as well as pigmented skin lesions and decorative and traumatic tattoos are now successfully treated with lasers with minimal or no scarring.

Introduction: Skin cancer prevention is a public health priority due to its high incidence and potential to cause significant morbidity and mortality. This study evaluated the effectiveness of an early skin cancer detection program in a community pharmacy, utilizing advanced technologies and interdisciplinary collaboration.
Objectives: 1.
Renewed scientific interest in sympathetic modulation of muscle and neuromuscular junctions has spurred a flurry of new discoveries with major implications for motor diseases. However, the role sympathetic axons play in the persistent dysfunction that occurs after nerve injuries remains to be explored. Peripheral nerve injuries are common and lead to motor, sensory, and autonomic deficits that result in lifelong disabilities.

AS3MT, GSTO2, and GSTP1 genes play important roles in the arsenic biotransformation pathway, while CYP2E1 gene has a prominent role in the metabolic activation of xenobiotics. Hence, polymorphisms of these genes might have an effect on arsenic biotransformation and could impact susceptibility to arsenical skin lesions in individuals of chronic arsenic toxicity. The present case-control study, comprising 148 subjects, attempted to evaluate genetic association between nine polymorphisms of AS3MT, GSTO2, GSTP1 and CYP2E1 genes and arsenical skin lesions in a West Bengal (WB) population.

Background: Behcet disease (BD) is a rare small vessel vasculitis that commonly manifests as recurrent painful oral or genital ulcerations, uveitis, and skin lesions. Some patients with BD develop neurological symptoms termed neuro-Behcet's disease. In the emergency department setting, these symptoms can be mistaken for other common acute issues including stroke, infection, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, toxin ingestion, or psychiatric conditions.
