Abstract:
Psoriasis is a chronic, autoinflammatory skin disease that affects approximately 100 million people worldwide. It is a systemic disease characterized by scaly, red patches on the skin and can also affect the joints. Psoriasis can significantly affect a person\'s physical and mental health. The prevalence rate of psoriasis may vary depending on the specific population studied and the diagnostic criteria used. Phototherapy is a safe and effective treatment for psoriasis that involves exposing the affected skin to specific wavelengths of light. It can be used alone or with other treatments for severe psoriasis. However, clinicians must choose the right light source for each type of psoriasis and monitor the patient closely during treatment to avoid adverse events. The 308 nm excimer laser is a widely used device in dermatology for treating several skin conditions, including psoriasis. Although the excimer laser can treat various dermatologic diseases, this study will focus only on its effectiveness in treating psoriasis. This study will review the use of an excimer laser, its protocol, and its side effects.
摘要:
牛皮癣是一种慢性,影响全球约1亿人的自身炎症性皮肤病。它是一种以鳞片状为特征的全身性疾病,皮肤上的红色斑块,也会影响关节。牛皮癣可以显著影响一个人的身心健康。银屑病的患病率可能因研究的特定人群和使用的诊断标准而异。光疗是一种安全有效的牛皮癣治疗方法,涉及将受影响的皮肤暴露于特定波长的光。它可以单独使用或与其他治疗严重的牛皮癣。然而,临床医生必须为每种类型的银屑病选择合适的光源,并在治疗期间密切监测患者,以避免不良事件。308nm准分子激光是皮肤病学中广泛使用的设备,用于治疗多种皮肤状况,包括牛皮癣。虽然准分子激光可以治疗各种皮肤病,这项研究将只关注其治疗牛皮癣的有效性。本研究将回顾准分子激光的使用,它的协议,和它的副作用。
