OBJECTIVE
To determine the prevalence of chorioretinal lesions and optic disc edema after heart transplantation and to study potential associations.
METHODS
One hundred one patients who had undergone heart transplantation at one institution and 19 patients prior to heart transplantation underwent
BACKGROUND
The carbon dioxide laser (CO2) has been proven to be an effective device for the treatment of photoaging. However, it is associated with adverse side effects including prolonged erythema, edema, burning, milia, acne, crusting and hypo-/hyperpigmentation. Delayed onset hypopigmentation
Silvery hair is a characteristic finding of 3 rare autosomal recessive disorders: Chédiak-Higashi syndrome (CHS), Elejalde syndrome (ES), and Griscelli syndrome (GS). We report the case of a 2-month-old male infant with transient silvery hair and generalized hypopigmentation of the skin and eyes who
BACKGROUND
Imatinib mesylate is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that targets the BCR-ABL protein in CML, c-kit (KIT) and platelet-derived growth factor receptors. In clinical trials with imatinib mesylate, common side effects of nausea, emesis, diarrhea, periorbital edema, fluid retention, and
Temporary henna tattoos or pseudotattoos have become increasingly widespread among children and adolescent. A generalized skin reaction, type erythema multiforme-like reaction is unusual, and rarely reported. We describe the case of a 7-year-old boy who reported erythematous papular bull's-eye
Cutaneous reactions to imatinib are common and occur in 9.5% to 69% of patients depending on the series reported. Maculopapular eruptions, erythematous eruptions, edema, and periorbital edema are the most common adverse events observed. Imatinib can also induce severe skin eruptions and generalized
OBJECTIVE
Plasma skin regeneration (PSR) and platelet-rich plasma(PRP) have gained popularity in the treatment of acne scars due to their efficacy and improved tolerability. The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the synergistic effect of PRP plus PSR (plasma-combined regeneration
Although a variety of lasers have proven to be clinically effective for long-term hair removal, the use of these lasers has also been associated with undesirable side effects, such as hyper- and hypopigmentation, crusting, erythema, and edema. One notable side effect that seems to be underreported
Sediments in estuaries, especially those containing a large reservoir of contaminants released from urban and industrial activities, have had great impacts on benthic fauna and associated species. A better understanding of the toxicity of contaminants in estuarine sediments is of great significance
Laser is the most efficient and popular method in hair removal. The most common side effects of laser assisted hair removal are pain, erythema, edema, hypopigmentation, hyperpigmentation, blistering, crusting, erosions, purpura, folliculitis, and scar formation ( 1 ). Herein, for the first time we
Given that the pigment particles in tattoos have a relaxation time of <10 ns, picosecond lasers would be expected to be more effective than nanosecond lasers in tattoo removal. To systematically review the evidence regarding the effectiveness and safety of picosecond lasers for tattoo removal,
OBJECTIVE
This study was designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a small, low energy light based system for hair removal, when used by non-healthcare professionals ("patients") for self treatment in home-like environment following instructions and guidance provided by a
BACKGROUND
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an excellent treatment option for actinic keratosis. However the side effects lead to an impairment of the patients' quality of life.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the impact of PDT on patients' quality of life and to determine the frequency and intensity of side
BACKGROUND
Treatments for hypopigmented scars have shown limited efficacy and variable safety profiles. OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of fractional resurfacing (1,550-nm Fraxel SR laser, Reliant Technologies, Mountain View, CA) for the treatment of hypopigmented scars on the
The teratogenicity of cobalt chloride (CoCl2) was tested by the FETAX (Frog Embryo Teratogenesis Assay: Xenopus) procedure in the South African frog, Xenopus laevis. In five assays, beginning at 5 h post-fertilization, groups of Xenopus embryos were incubated for 96 h in media that contained CoCl2
