Challenge In Diagnosis And Management Of Lentigo Maligna And Lentigo Maligna Melanoma, Ika Anggraini, Elisa Miranda, Larisa Paramitha Wibawa, Roro Inge Ade Krisanti, Adhimukti T. Sampurna

Journal of General - Procedural Dermatology and Venereology Indonesia

Lentigo maligna (LM) is a subtype of melanoma in situ, which can evolve into lentigo maligna melanoma (LMM) if treated inadequately. LM and LMM are usually found on chronically sun damaged skin such as the face (cheek and nose) of the elderly on seventh or eight decades. Clinical manifestation of LM may be quite subtle, so early diagnosis is difficult to perform.The treatment of LM and LMM are challenging due to ill-defined clinical margin, predilection on the face with great size, and preponderance of the elderly, which are potential for recurrency and progressiveness from LM into LMM.

The human vagina together with its resident, microbiota, comprise a dynamic ecosystem. Normal microbiota is dominated by Lactobacillus species, and pathogen microbiota such as Gardnerella species and Bacteroides species can occur due to decrease in Lactobacillus domination. Lactobacillus plays an essential role in keeping normal vaginal microbiota in balance. Vaginal microbiota adapts to pH change and hormonal value. Changes in the vaginal microbiota over a woman’s lifespan will influence the colonization of pathogenic microbes. They include changes in child, puberty, reproductive state, menopause, and postmenopause. Estrogen levels change will affect the colonization of pathogenic microbium, leading to genitourinary syndrome of …

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease known to be highly responsive to phototherapy. Narrow-band UVB (NBUVB) phototherapy has been one of the standard treatments for its moderate to severe form. However, its lack of efficacy in treating stable psoriatic plaques on extremities has lead researchers to find alternative treatments, one of which is pulsed-dye laser (PDL). Laser has been known to be effective in treating vascular lesions; in psoriasis, elongation of rete ridge along with tortuous dermal capillaries are one of the first pathologies identified early in the disease progression. Several in vivo and preliminary studies have found the …
