- 2015-04-29 16:21:17 Combination of NB-UVB therapy with melanocyte transplantation can accelerate repigmentation of transplanted vitiliginous areas, especially if NB-UVB is given before and after transplantation.
BACKGROUND:Vitiligo is an acquired skin disorder with great social impact. It can be successfully treated using cultured autologous melanocytes transplantation.OBJECTIVE...
VIEW- 2015-04-29 16:20:24 NB-UVB may improve the function of Tregs. Understanding the mechanisms through which NB-UVB exert its effect on reducing the number of circulating Tregs would help open up the paths for future therapeutic options.
BACKGROUND:It is widely believed that an imbalance between activated CD8(+) T cells and regulatory T cells (Tregs) exists in patients with vitiligo. Although there is evidence that nar...
VIEW- 2015-04-29 16:19:58 Bathing in geothermal seawater combined with NB-UVB therapy in psoriasis induces faster clinical and histological improvement, produces longer remission time and permits lower NB-UVB doses than UVB therapy alone.
BACKGROUND:The combination of seawater baths and narrowband ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) is a known treatment for psoriasis. This study evaluates two treatment regimens that combine bathin...
VIEW- 2015-04-28 16:33:20 Prescriptions of narrowband UVB exceeded those of PUVA because of fewer contraindications and fewer possible side effects, and because it was a more practical option.
BACKGROUND:Moderate and severe forms of psoriasis require phototherapy and / or systemic medications. Both UVA and UVB can be used to treat cases of moderate and severe psoriasis, an...
VIEW- 2015-04-28 16:32:54 NB-UVB irradiation may represent the optimal choice in generalized vitiligo with topical immunomodulators in localized vitiligo.
Vitiligo is an acquired loss of pigmentation and its treatment remains very difficult up to date. Narrow band ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) and topical immunomodulators are included among the most innovative...
VIEW- 2015-04-28 16:32:39 Topical 8-MOP gel plus narrowband UVB has greater efficacy than narrowband UVB alone in psoriasis.
BACKGROUND:A combination of oral psoralen with narrowband ultraviolet B (UVB), defined as 'psoralen-narrowband UVB', was shown to have a superior efficacy than UVB alone and even a c...
VIEW- 2015-04-28 16:32:14 the first case of ACH which successfully responded to treatment with 8-MOP/NB-UVB.
Treatment of acrodermatitis continua of Hallopeau (ACH) is known to be difficult. A 24-year-old man presented with an 11-year history of recurrent flares of painful pustular and scaly lesions on the d...
VIEW- 2015-04-28 16:31:26 A standard course of nbUVB does not have an effect on serum and red cell folate levels in patients with psoriasis.
Narrowband ultraviolet (UV) B phototherapy (nbUVB) is a widely used modality in the treatment of psoriasis and is generally accepted to be safe in pregnancy. Previous studies have described photo...
VIEW- 2015-04-28 16:30:52 UVB phototherapy in a high-dose regimen for psoriasis is recommended
Ultraviolet (UV) B phototherapy is an established treatment option for psoriasis. The optimum dosage regimen still has to be determined. Within-subject comparisons do not take into account the sy...
VIEW- 2015-04-28 16:30:08 Serum 25(OH)D3 in psoriasis patients increased less with NBUVB than with broadband UVB phototherapy. Psoriasis improved on both regimens.
