Adding to Your Tool Box: Laser Therapy for Vascular Anomalies
Pediatric Dermatology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Adjuvant laser therapy of vascular anomalies is based on the principle of selective photo‐thermolysis, through targeted destruction of selected chromophores with minimal injury to surrounding tissue. Choice of laser wavelength, treatment parameters, and predicted response to therapy are dependent on the dominant chromophore within the vascular

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.Blue light (BL) triggers reactive oxygen species (ROS) production via activation of endogenous bacterial porphyrins, resulting in bactericidal effects. When combined with Sangre de Drago, its terpenes inhibit bacterial biofilm formation and also enhance the antibacterial effect of blue light by becoming activated and causing a photodynamic therapy‐like

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract The cyclooxygenase (COX) pathway regulates vascular tone and, therefore, local O2 delivery‐utilization matching. The two main isoforms, COX‐1 and COX‐2, may promote opposing effects on contracting muscle O2 transport in health by inducing vasoconstriction and vasodilatation, respectively.

Pentoxifylline for treating venous leg ulcers [PDF]
Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2007 Healing of venous leg ulcers is improved by the use of compression bandaging but some venous ulcers remain unhealed, and some people are unsuitable for compression therapy. Pentoxifylline, a drug which helps blood flow, has been used to treat venous leg ulcers. An earlier version of this review included 9 randomised controlled trials, but more research
