Surgical Treatment for Benign Lymphangioendothelioma After Two Incomplete Excisions: A Case Report and Literature Review
We report a case of an atypical BL that arose as a tender, protuberant, flesh-colored mass with cyanotic vesicles, and then progressed to a persistent exudative wound after two incomplete excisions. The patient was also diagnosed with thoracic duct narrowing. Although the stenosis was removed by surgery, the right lower extremity ulceration and exudation did not improve. Thus, we performed a thorough excision and split-thickness skin graft transplant following vacuum sealing drainage, and eventually the patient had a favorable functional and cosmetic outcome. A biopsy revealed irregular, dilated vascular spaces lined with ...

The Use of Hemispheric Directional Reflectance Method to Verify the Usefulness of Filters Protecting the Skin Against Infrared Radiation
DISCUSSION: The results indicate that the selected products show radiation protection against IR radiation only after several dozen minutes of application, which may suggest that they must penetrate deeper skin layers to be effective. Hemispheric directional reflectance turned out to be an effective method allows to assess the effectiveness of protective properties of cosmetics.PMID:37790905 | PMC:PMC10543075 | DOI:10.2147/CCID.S423667 (Source: Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology)

Effectiveness of Brodalumab in Patients with Moderate-to-Severe Plaque Psoriasis Located in Difficult-to-Treat Areas
CONCLUSION: Our real-life experience suggests brodalumab as a valuable option for the management of psoriasis located in difficult-to-treat areas. Moreover, our study highlights that the use of brodalumab reduces the plasmatic levels of inflammatory biomarkers (MMP-3, VEGF-A and hs-PCR), showing how the drug modulates the skin inflammatory response by reducing systemic inflammation.PMID:37780688 | PMC:PMC10541085 | DOI:10.2147/CCID.S423234 (Source: Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology)
