Population-based incidence of psoriasis vulgaris in Germany: analysis of national statutory insurance data from 65 million population
This study was to provide a comprehensive understanding of the age-specific and sex-specific incidence of psoriasis vulgaris in Germany. The data were obtained in the context of a morbidity-based risk adjustment by statutory health insurance companies in Germany, comprising information regarding 65 million population. Psoriasis vulgaris diagnoses were made and coded according to the 10th edition of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems. Age-specific and sex-specific incidences were calculated using data from 2009 to 2011. There was a rise in the age- and sex-specific incidence...

Topical sodium valproate-loaded nanospanlastics versus conventional topical steroid therapy in alopecia areata: a randomized controlled study
ConclusionBoth topical SV and steroids are of comparable modest efficacy. Thus, further evaluation of SV is due in combination with intralesional steroids and other anti-inflammatory treatment modalities, together with developing individualized approaches based on baseline beta-catenin level.ClinicalTrials.gov IdentifierNCT05017454,https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05017454.

The role of 755-nm alexandrite picosecond laser in melasma management
AbstractMelasma is a skin dyspigmentation condition that disproportionately affects women, particularly those of Latino, Black, and Asian ethnicities, significantly impacting their quality of life. Efforts to identify effective treatment options have led to the exploration of picosecond laser technology which utilizes brief pulse durations to break down pigment while minimizing thermal damage to surrounding tissue. The 755-nm alexandrite picosecond laser, currently FDA approved for benign pigmented lesion removal, including melasma, is a promising solution. We aim to assess the efficacy and safety of the 755-nm alexandrite...

Applications of propolis-based materials in wound healing
AbstractDue to its excellent antiseptic efficacy and antimicrobial properties, propolis has shown attractive advantages in wound dressings. However, an inclusive review of the propolis-based materials as a wound dressing is still lacking. The current short review summarizes the skin wound healing process, relates evaluation parameters, and then reviews the refined propolis-based materials dressings such as antimicrobial property, adhesion and hemostasis, anti-inflammatory and substance delivery. The approaches implemented to achieve these functions are classified and discussed. Furthermore, applications of propolis wound d...
