Ayurvedic management of a refractory skin disease clinically diagnosed as Cutaneous Lichen Planus-A case report
This study reports the successful management of a recurrent, refractory skin disease diagnosed clinically as Cutaneous Lichen Planus (CLP) in a female patient with Ayurvedic treatment. A 42-year-old home maker from Coimbatore presented with blackish-red pigmented skin rashes and white streaks. Though mucous membranes were not affected, she did not respond to homoeopathic and biomedical treatment. The lesions were spread all over the body except for the face, scalp, axillary and genital region. In addition, she complained of dry skin, pain, and itching. The condition was treated as Kapha-Pitta dominant Tridoshaja Kushta bas...

Perioperative care pathway for vulvar reconstruction: a case series
Vulvar reconstructive surgery is performed for a variety of indicated etiologies. Labial, vulvar, and clitoral adhesions may be caused by vulvar dermatologic conditions such as lichen sclerosus and lichen planus in addition to hypoestrogenic state. Other etiologies of abnormal vulvar anatomy include genital and birth trauma, and female genital mutilation. There is currently no recommended perioperative management following vulvar reconstructive surgery, leading to varied postoperative management and patient counseling, which may contribute to the wide range of recurrence (0-55%).

Sustained vaginal stent placement in the surgical management of shortened vaginal length
Patients with previously normal vaginal length may develop a shortened vaginal length or narrowed vaginal lumen from inflammatory conditions such as lichen planus or graft-versus-host disease or from scar tissue following vaginal surgery. A shortened vaginal length may interfere with a patient ’s ability to have vaginal intercourse, prevent evaluation of the cervix and upper vagina, and lead to difficulty with urine or menstrual efflux. When conservative management with vaginal dilator therapy fails, surgical management with intravaginal adhesiolysis is considered. (Source: American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology)

Regenerative potential of platelet concentrates in chronic oral mucosal lesions
J Oral Biol Craniofac Res. 2024 Mar-Apr;14(2):216-221. doi: 10.1016/j.jobcr.2024.02.007. Epub 2024 Mar 6.ABSTRACTChronic oral mucosal diseases (COMDs) represent a significant challenge for clinicians and patients. They are commonly associated with chronic pain and negative effects on healing and patient's quality of life. Regenerative medicine including the use of biological autologous blood-derived substances (e.g., platelet concentrates [PCs]), has been reported to improve healing and reduce pain in orthopedic and maxillofacial surgeries as well as chronic oral mucosal diseases. In this review, we aim to describe the dif...

Development of an immune-related diagnostic predictive model for oral lichen planus
In this study, 2 publicly available OLP datasets from the gene expression omnibus database were filtered. In the experimental group (GSE52130), the level of immune cell infiltration was assessed using MCPcounter and ssGSEA algorithms. Subsequently, differential expression analysis and gene set enrichment analysis were performed between the OLP and control groups. The resulting differentially expressed genes were intersected with immunologically relevant genes provided on the immunology database and analysis portal database (ImmPort) website to obtain differentially expressed immunologically relevant genes (DEIRGs). Further...
