Fractional Laser Resurfacing for Acne Scars: A Review
Wed, 01 Feb 2012 05:00:00 +0100 | British Journal of Dermatology
AbstractThis review investigates the effectiveness of ablative and non‐ablative Fractional Photothermolysis (FP) lasers for treating facial acne scars. 26 studies (13=ablative FP; 13=non‐ablative FP) published between year‐2003 to January 2011 were reviewed. Quantitative and qualitative data from each article were examined and analysed. 4 studies were split‐face randomised controlled studies (RCTs). Whilst the data analysed where all clinically relevant and significant, there were some methodological differences between the studies. Outcomes included subjective and objective assessment of scar appearance, pre‐ and postoperative treatment, side effects and pain scores. A small number of studies used 3D Optical Profiling Imaging and histology for objective assessment. Even allowing...

Pulsed Dye Laser and Pulsed Dye Laser–Mediated Photodynamic Therapy in the Treatment of Dermatologic Disorders
Mon, 23 Jan 2012 05:00:00 +0100 | Dermatologic Surgery
ConclusionsPDL is accepted as first‐line therapy for vascular disorders including port‐wine stains, telangiectasias, and hemangiomas. PDL causes selective photothermolysis of dermal vasculature. This mechanism also allows it to be applicable for disorders of other etiologies. Recent studies suggest that the PDL may induce cytokine expression and collagen formation, further increasing its applicability in dermatology. (Source: Dermatologic Surgery)

Whorled hairless nevus of the scalp, linear hyperpigmentation, and telangiectatic nevi of the lower limbs: A novel variant of the “phacomatosis complex”
Fri, 13 Jan 2012 05:00:00 +0100 | American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A
We report on an 8‐year‐old boy with striking right hemihypoplasia, resulting in limb asymmetry and fixed dislocation of right hip. Skin on the affected side showed three distinct nevi: (i) A whorled, hairless nevus of the scalp in close proximity with (ii) epidermal hyperpigmentation following lines of Blaschko on the neck and right upper limb, and (iii) multiple telangiectatic nevi of the right lower limb and hemiscrotum. Didymosis atricho‐melanotica was proposed for the combination of adjacent patchy congenital alopecia and linear hyperpigmentation, while phacomatosis atricho‐pigmento‐vascularis appears to define the entire cutaneous phenotype, thus implying the involvement of three neighboring loci influencing the development of distinct constituents of the skin. Given the str...

Left Ventricular Failure due to a Rare Variant of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
Mon, 09 Jan 2012 19:33:48 +0100 | Indian Journal of Pediatrics
Abstract  “Hypertensive” variant of congenital adrenal hyperplasia is rare. The authors describe an interesting case of a 6-y-old boy who presented with an acute respiratory illness and progressive breathlessness since 1 y. Genital hyperpigmentation was noticed since 2 y of age; the onset of pubarche and increasing penile size at 4 y. He was admitted in congestive cardiac failure with a blood pressure of 150/100 mm Hg. Facial acne; slight facial, pubic hair and penile enlargement were additionally noted. Chest radiograph revealed cardiomegaly. Basal ACTH and 17-OHP levels were high. A diagnosis of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (11β-hydroxylase deficiency) was made due to hypertension with virilized genitalia. Cardiac failure was controlled with flui...
