Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther
December 2024
University of Brasilia, Laboratory of Oral Histopathology, School of Health Sciences Faculty, Brasília Brazil. Electronic address:
Article Synopsis
- This scoping review investigated the use of Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) for treating and preventing osteoradionecrosis, analyzing trends and existing evidence across various studies.
- A total of 19 studies were included, revealing that most LLLT applications were therapeutic (58%), with a smaller portion for preventive use (21%).
- The findings highlighted a lack of standardization in laser parameters, indicating a need for further research to establish consistent treatment protocols and to conduct larger, well-designed clinical trials to assess LLLT's effectiveness more reliably.

Health Science Graduate Program, School of Health Sciences, University of Brasilia, Brasília, Brazil.
Article Synopsis
- This systematic review aimed to analyze the prevalence and characteristics of skin manifestations associated with COVID-19, as these can assist in diagnosis, especially since the details were unclear.
- The review included 31 studies with over 10,000 patients and found that the overall prevalence of skin manifestations was about 29%, predominantly observed in Africa, with hands, feet, and trunk being most affected.
- Patients with milder COVID-19 symptoms showed more specific skin conditions compared to those with severe cases, indicating that skin assessments should be a key part of evaluating and diagnosing COVID-19, particularly in adults and the elderly.
