- 2015-04-22 16:19:40 The total dose of UVB to clearing was 44% less for patients treated with tar oil and suberythemogenic UVB
Forty-nine patients with plaque-type psoriasis were enrolled in a randomized prospective trial that compared the efficacy of outpatient treatment with suberythemogenic doses of ultraviolet B (UVB) rad...
VIEW - 2015-04-22 16:18:47 Retinoids can reduce the UV doses and most likely limit the risk of late damage
The combination of different antipsoriatics or treatment regimens should increase the therapeutic effect and reduce the adverse reactions. The combination of dithranol and tar (cignolin-salicyl-vaseli...
VIEW - 2015-04-21 16:16:00 cells are located deeper in the graft they are better reached by stronger penetrating longwave ultraviolet radiation (PUVA) than by UVB.
The combined treatment of murine skin grafts with 8-methoxypsoralen and longwave ultraviolet radiation (PUVA) leads to a prolonged survival after transplantation on allogeneic recipients. This may be ...
VIEW - 2015-04-21 16:14:11 UVB measurements should be made with solar blind detector types for best all-round results.
UVA and UVB radiation is often measured with simple detectors by non-skilled personnel. In this study spectroradiometric measurements are compared to measurements with simple detectors equipped with v...
VIEW - 2015-04-21 16:12:47 UVAB and, to some extent UVB light are effective treatments for atopic dermatitis.
106 patients from Northern Norway were given phototherapy for atopic dermatitis with ultraviolet B (UVB) (group B) or in combination with ultraviolet A (UVA), designated UVAB (group AB). Of the 52 pat...
VIEW - 2015-04-21 16:12:13 A combination of prednisone and PUVA therapy can also be useful in lichen planus and atopic eczema
Various adjunctive treatments are now frequently used in combination with PUVA therapy with the aims of limiting adverse effects, improving efficacy and decreasing the cost of treatment. In the manage...
VIEW - 2015-04-21 16:11:23 This finding may have relevance to some of the observed therapeutic effects of phototherapy in certain inflammatory dermatoses and especially cutaneous mast cell disorders.
Prior exposure of normal skin to subthreshold doses of UVR from a "UVA" phototherapy cabinet resulted in a small but significant reduction of the wealing response to intradermally injected codeine pho...
VIEW - 2015-04-21 16:10:49 It is proposed that DNA damage should be measured to determine whether epidermal cells are entirely protected from UVB radiation at the completion of therapy.
The skin of patients receiving psoralen and UVA (PUVA) therapy for psoriasis is exposed to trace amounts of UVB radiation emitted by PUVA irradiators in addition to UVA. DNA repair activity was measur...
VIEW - 2015-04-21 16:09:39 UVA radiations twice a week for 6 to 8 weeks were less effective.
Radiation with ultrared light (UR) and with a supposed pure UVA high pressure tube leads to increase of the skin surface temperature, which is linear during UR radiation and causes pain at 42 degrees ...
VIEW - 2015-04-21 16:08:45 For most patients with moderate psoriasis, suberythemogenic UVB and tar oil is an effective, low-cost, and acceptable outpatient therapy.
orty-nine patients with plaque-type psoriasis were enrolled in a randomized prospective trial that compared the efficacy of outpatient treatment with suberythemogenic doses of ultraviolet B (UVB) radi...
