Öğe Pyogenic granuloma following treatment of a port-wine stain with intense pulsed light(2007) Özdemir M.; Engin B.[Abstract not Available]Öğe Successful combined pentoxifylline and intralesional triamcinolone acetonide treatment of severe pretibial myxedema(2007) Engin B.; Gümüel M.; Özdemir M.; Çakir M.[Abstract not Available]Öğe Treatment of facial port-wine stains with intense pulsed light: A prospective study(2008) Özdemir M.; Engin B.; Mevlito?lu I.Background: Intense pulsed light (IPL) has been used for the treatment of port-wine stains for 10 years. There are many IPL systems that have different setting. Some of them have been reported in the treatment of fresh or laser-resistant port-wine stains localized in different body regions. Objective: Our aim was to conduct a prospective trial to assess the effectiveness of Lynton (The Lumina Family of Medical Flashlamp Systems) of the IPL family in the treatment of fresh facial port-wine stains. Material and methods: Twelve patients with facial and/or neck port-wine stains without previous treatment were enrolled in the trial. Patient demographics, treatment setting, outcome of clearing, and treatment complications were noted. Results: The treatment intervals were 4 to 6 weeks for three to six treatment sessions. Moderate improvement (50-75%) was achieved in 47% of the patients. Complete clearing was seen in only one patient (8.3%) after four treatment sessions. Hypertrophic scar formation in two patients occurred after healing blister. Except for the side effects, long-term complications were not seen. Conclusion: Moderate effectiveness was achieved with IPL treatment in the facial port-wine stains. © 2008 Blackwell Publishing.Öğe Tuberculin skin reactivity and T-lymphocyte subgroups in patients with chronic idiopathic urticaria [Kronik i?diyopatik ürtikerli olgularda tüberkülin deri testi yaniti ve T-lenfosit alt gruplari](2007) Engin B.; Özdemir M.; Mevlito?lu I.Background and Design: It has been demonstrated that the autologous serum skin test (ASST) has an important role in clinical test for detection of autoimmune-based urticaria. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ASST and cell immunity modifiers. Materials and Methods: We examined 68 patients and 37 control subjects, performed ASST and tuberculin skin reactivity (TST) and measured T-lymphocyte subsets. Results: ASST was significantly positive in urticaria patients compared to control subjects. Thirty-two patients had positive TST reactivity. T-lymphocyte subsets were as follows: CD4: %41.3±3.4, CD8: %34±6.5, CD4/CD8: %1.2, CD3: %66±8.8. ASST was not related to the TST reactivity and T-lymphocyte subsets. Conclusion: These data provided that ASST does not seem to be associated with TST reactivity and T-lymphocyte subsets.
