research Lessons Learned from the First Decade of Laser-Assisted Drug Delivery
Laser-assisted drug delivery has shown improved treatment outcomes for skin conditions and has potential to reduce side effects and treatment time.
research Follicular mucinosis in association with Sezary syndrome
A patient with Sézary syndrome showed improvement after treatment and the study suggested follicular mucinosis might indicate future lymphoma risk.
research Alopecia areata with lymphocytic mural folliculitis affecting the isthmus in a thoroughbred mare
