BACKGROUND: The increasing abundance of drug-resistant bacteria is a global threat. Photodynamic therapy is an entirely new, non-invasive method for treating infections caused by antibiotic-resistant strains. We previously described the bactericidal effect of photodynamic therapy on infections caused by a single type of bacterium. We showed that gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria could be killed with 5-aminolevulic acid and 410 nm light, respectively. However, clinically, mixed infections are common and difficult to treat...

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Vitiligo is a depigmenting disorder that affects up to 2% of the population. Due to the relatively high prevalence of this disease and its psychological impact on patients, decisions concerning treatment can be difficult. As patients increasingly seek health information online, the caliber of online health information (OHI) becomes crucial in patients' decisions regarding their care. We aimed to assess the quality and readability of OHI regarding phototherapy in the management of vitiligo...

BACKGROUND: Narrowband ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) phototherapy promotes stability and repigmentation in vitiligo. No studies have compared targeted NB-UVB with whole-body NB-UVB in treatment of acral vitiligo. OBJECTIVES: This randomized split-body study compared whole-body NB-UVB with targeted NB-UVB in inducing stability and repigmentation in acral vitiligo. METHODS: Thirty-two patients with bilaterally symmetrical acral vitiligo lesions (distal to elbows and knees) were recruited...

BACKGROUND: Major depressive disorder (MDD) was a prevalent mental condition that may be accompanied by decreased excitability of left frontal pole (FP) and abnormal brain connections. An 820 nm tPBM can induce an increase in stimulated cortical excitability. The purpose of our study was to establish how clinical symptoms and time-varying brain network connectivity of MDD were affected by transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM). METHODS: A total of 11 patients with MDD received 820 nm tPBM targeting the left FP for 14 consecutive days...

BACKGROUND: Psoriasis is a common, chronic, inflammatory disease. Although it mainly affects the skin, it has been associated with a large number of comorbidities. In addition to comorbidities such as depression and psoriatic arthritis, it is known that there is an increased prevalence of cancer in psoriasis patients. Skin cancers, particularly squamous cell carcinoma, have been associated with psoriasis. However, basal cell carcinoma data are limited. METHODS: 346 psoriasis patients and 306 individuals were selected as the control group...

BACKGROUND: A few patients report intense pain and other unpleasant sensations, such as burning, dysesthesia and hyperalgesia, after even brief exposure to the sun and in the absence of any skin lesion. Sometimes they also develop systemic symptoms, such as mild fever, fatigue, faintness and fainting. As a result, these patients carefully avoid even short-term sun exposure with a consequent severe negative impact on their lives. METHODS: We have reviewed the clinical findings and the results of photobiological investigations of 10 patients who presented this clinical picture...

BACKGROUND /PURPOSE: Melasma and solar lentigo (SL) are major benign hyperpigmented lesions, and both have been shown to involve the dermal vasculature. This review discusses current knowledge regarding the clinical characteristics of dermal vascularity in melasma and SL, as well as the results of relevant molecular biological investigations. METHODS: PubMed and Google Scholar were searched in December 2023 to identify articles related to melasma, SL, and the dermal vasculature in these lesions...

BACKGROUND: Skin cancer survivors are more vulnerable to subsequent skin cancers and other malignancies, but previous studies have not examined in detail their sun protection behavior prevalence by sociodemographic factors. We aimed to understand the sociodemographic disparities in the prevalence of three important types of sun protection behaviors: using sunscreen, seeking shade, and wearing protective clothing, among skin cancer survivors and those without skin cancer history. METHODS: We used the 2015 U...

INTRODUCTION: Excessive sun exposure and sunburns are the main preventable causes of skin cancer. The growing popularity of outdoor sports in developed countries has motivated the objective of this work to study the risk of photoexposure and the skin cancer prevention needs of athletes in an extreme race and evaluate an intervention targeted at this population. METHODS: An observational study was conducted during the XXIII edition of the 101 km de Ronda race, which consisted of trail running and mountain biking categories...

BACKGROUND: Several treatment modalities are available for the treatment of vitiligo due to the lack of a uniformly effective therapy. Topical latanoprost 0.005% is an effective topical treatment. Fractional CO2 laser alone or combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been proposed as effective adjunctive therapies. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to compare the efficacy of topical latanoprost 0.005% (Ioprost®, Orchidia, Egypt) combined with either add-on fractional CO2 laser or fractional CO2 -PRP versus topical latanoprost monotherapy in the treatment of localized stable vitiligo...

BACKGROUND: Photoprotection is crucial in preventing the development and progression of various skin diseases. However, patients with skin disease have limited awareness of photoprotection. We evaluated the knowledge and behavioral patterns of photoprotection among Koreans with skin diseases. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 11 general hospitals across South Korea. The study population consisted of patients aged 19 years or older who visited dermatologic clinics for their skin diseases...

BACKGROUND: Standardized methods for sun protection factor (SPF) testing are still beset with endpoint and method-driven issues, and can be influenced by multiple factors. The purpose of this analysis is to explore the factors influencing the results of sun protection factor (SPF) testing in human subjects according to the ISO 24444:2019 standard. Intrinsic factors, such as baseline skin color, age and gender, the minimal erythemal dose on an unprotected area (MEDu), as well as environmental factors such as season/weather influences, are considered for analysis...

BACKGROUND: The human skin microbiome is a dynamic ecosystem that plays an important role in skin health. The skin microbiome has been implicated in numerous diseases, and our knowledge surrounding it continues to evolve. A better understanding of the interactions between the environment and the skin microbiome will lead to improvements in skin health.

BACKGROUND: Phototherapy is a mainstay to treat itchy conditions. However, only little is known about differences in the antipruritic effect of phototherapy amongst different skin conditions, phototypes and genders. METHODS: In this prospective, single-center study, we analyzed the effect of phototherapy on itch intensity and itch-related quality of life amongst these subgroups after a treatment duration of 4 weeks, while on-demand treatment with topical corticosteroids, topical calcineurin inhibitors and/or antihistamines was allowed...

BACKGROUND: Periodontitis, a chronic infectious disease, is primarily caused by a dysbiotic microbiome, leading to the destruction of tooth-supporting tissues and tooth loss. Photodynamic therapy (PDT), which combines excitation light with photosensitizers (PS) and oxygen to produce antibacterial reactive oxygen species, is emerging as a promising adjuvant treatment for periodontitis. METHODS: This review focuses on studies examining the antibacterial effects of PDT against periodontal pathogens...

BACKGROUND: The etiology of vitiligo has not been completely elucidated. Recently, 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) and IL-33 levels were found to be associated with the development of the vitiligo. The aim was to assess relationship between 25(OH)D, IL-33 levels, and clinical improvement after narrow-band UVB treatment in vitiligo. METHOD: Patients with vitiligo who underwent at least 48 sessions of narrow-band UVB treatment were included in this study. Age, gender, smoking status, family history of vitiligo, type of vitiligo, body surface area affected by vitiligo, and vitiligo activity were recorded...
