We aimed to clarify the optimal timing for the fluorescence imaging of brain tumor tissue differentiated from brain edema after the administration of photosensitizers.
We have performed an in vivo study of the kinetics of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) in comparison with talaporfin sodium using the
delta-Aminolevulinic acid dehydratase deficiency porphyria (ALAD porphyria, ADP) with syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) in a 69-year-old woman is reported. The patient was admitted to our hospital complaining of slight cough with low-grade fever, and treated with
UNASSIGNED
5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA)-guided surgery is one of the gold standard perioperative modalities for maximum resection of malignant gliomas. However, it should be noted that 5-ALA fluorescence does not definitively indicate the presence of malignant tumor cells.
UNASSIGNED
We report a
OBJECTIVE
To examine the safety and efficacy of photodynamic therapy using topical 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) and red light to treat actinic keratoses (AKs).
METHODS
Actinic keratoses were treated with topical ALA (concentrations of 0%, 10%, 20%, or 30%) under occlusion for 3 hours. Before
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is the treatment of tumors or dysplasic tissue with drugs that produce cytotoxic metabolites when exposed to light. Aminolevulinic acid HCl (5-aminolevulinic acid HCl; ALA) is a prodrug that is metabolized intracellularly to form the photosensitizing molecule
Following photodynamic therapy with 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA-PDT), patients experience inflammation that may be partially attributable to H1 histamine receptor activation. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of antihistamines upon adverse effects following ALA-PDT.
This was a
Successful and long-standing eradication of sebaceous hyperplasia has remained difficult due to the propensity of these lesions to be extensive. Current treatments include excision, electrodesiccation, laser vaporization, and oral isotretinoin, each often associated with unacceptable side effects or
5-Aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA)-induced fluorescence-guided resection is a widely used procedure for patients with malignant gliomas. However, the clinical application of 5-ALA for surgery in primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is uncommon. Here, we present a case of PCNSL treated using
BACKGROUND
Photorejuvenation of facial skin has been reported after intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy alone and in conjunction with topical 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA), but no comparative studies between these regimens have been performed.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of
BACKGROUND
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) with topical 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) and red light (550-700 nm) has been introduced for effective treatment of facial acne. Untoward side effects are common, however.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the short contact of topical ALA and
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of topical application of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) followed by pulsed dye laser (PDL) irradiation for the treatment of recalcitrant port-wine stain (PWS).
METHODS
Thirty-five patients (19 females and 16 males) with recalcitrant PWS were treated
BACKGROUND
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is the selective destruction of abnormal cells through activation of a photosensitizer in the presence of oxygen. Local phototoxic reactions and pain are the most common limiting side effects.
OBJECTIVE
The primary objective was to compare the local phototoxic
BACKGROUND
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) with topical 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) is used for effective treatment of facial acne vulgaris.
OBJECTIVE
To determine which of two different incubation times (30 minutes and 3 hours) is more effective in PDT with intense pulsed light (IPL) for acne
OBJECTIVE
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) with 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) and intense pulsed light (IPL) is a relatively new combination for the treatment of actinic keratosis (AK) and photodamage. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of increasing the fluence of IPL on the outcome of
