Simulated daylight versus conventional PDT for mild to moderate actinic keratoses: A randomized controlled trial

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, EarlyView.
This single‐centre, randomized controlled trial showed that simulated daylight photodynamic therapy (SDL‐PDT, n = 785 lesions) was less effective than conventional photodynamic therapy (C‐PDT, n = 673 lesions) in treating mild to moderate actinic keratoses with 1‐year clearance rates of 71.0% for SDL‐PDT versus 85.3% for C‐PDT (p < 0.001). However, SDL‐

Muscle Mass Is a Better Predictor of Survival in Dogs With Chronic Kidney Disease Compared to Body Condition Score

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Monitoring prognostic factors, such as body weight, is important to assess the effectiveness of therapies in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and estimate the survival rate (SR). As established in the literature, both body condition score (BCS) and muscle mass score (MMS), when analysed individually, show a positive correlation with ...
