Could I, a 68-year-old woman strip in front of him? Would my self-consciousness bar my participation in this research project?

Phototherapy and photochemotherapy
Clinics in Dermatology, 2008Phototherapy, whose first application for psoriasis dates back to almost a century now, is still an actual mainstay of treatment. We discuss in detail the radiophysical aspects involved in the therapy, the different treatment modalities, and all aspects related to clinical application of phototherapy. By looking at new insights on the molecular mode of

The Mechanism of Photochemotherapy
Dermatologica, 2009As a contribution to the mechanisms of photochemotherapy, human skin homogenates were irradiated in the presence or absence of methoxsalen. The changes induced in LDH-, G-6-PDH-, GAPDH-, and GOT-activities were registered. Methoxsalen (50 μg/ml) failed to produce any significant effect. On pure G-6-PDH, methoxsalen exhibited a photoprotective action.

Dermal dendrocytes and photochemotherapy
Virchows Archiv A Pathological Anatomy and Histopathology, 1991We studied the fate of dermal dendrocytes in patients treated with psoralens and ultraviolet light by combining immunohistochemistry and computerized image analysis. Factor-XIIIa-positive dermal dendrocytes were found to be altered in these patients. When compared with controls, dermal dendrocytes were often increased in number and had an uneven size ...

Extracorporeal photochemotherapy
Journal of Dermatological Science, 2009Although extracorporeal photochemotherapy (ECP) is reported to be effective for a wide variety of diseases, such as cutaneous T cell lymphoma, autoimmune diseases, organ graft rejection, and graft versus host disease, its mechanism of action remains unclear. The basis of extracorporeal photopheresis is the reinfusion of leukocytes previously exposed to
