Abstract
Background: The theory of selective photo-thermolysis led to the development of a variety of different laser systems which range from the shorter spectrum of 694nm ruby laser to the middle with the 755nm alexandrite and 810nm diode lasers to the long end with the 1064nm (Nd:YAG) laser. Objective: A systematic ...

Background: The theory of selective photo-thermolysis led to the development of a variety of different laser systems which range from the shorter spectrum of 694nm ruby laser to the middle with the 755nm alexandrite and 810nm diode lasers to the long end with the 1064nm (Nd:YAG) laser. Objective: A systematic review on the clinical trials with use of various laser sources for hair removal. Methods: All clinical trials related to hair removal lasers in 1998-2003 were selected. After elimination of heterogenicity sources in data, results were synthesized on the basis of laser type and were compared using ANOVA and t tests, P

Background: There is no data on the characteristics of patients with localized scleroderma in Iran. Objective: In order to determine the age, sex and type distribution of localized scleroderma in Iran, this study was done on patients referred to Boo-Ali Hospital in Tehran in 1995-1999. Patients and Methods: This study was done as an existing data study on 39 patients with localized scleroderma referred to Boo-Ali Hospital in Tehran in 1995-1999. Age, sex, site, type of involvement, and age distribution of each type were recorded. Results: 39 patients with localized scleroderma referred to Boo-Ali Hospital in this period, including 9 male and 30 female patients so female/male ratio was 3/3. Most of the patients (48%) were in the age range of 20-40 years. 77.9% of female patients were in the age range of 10-40 years and 43.4% of male patients were in the first to fourth decade. 2.56% of the patients were younger than 10 years and most were boys. The most common sites of involvement were extremities, trunk, face and neck in order. The plaque type was the most common type but the linear type was seen more in perineal area. The plaque type was the most common type in children, as well. Conclusion: Age and sex distribution and sites of involvement in patients with localized scleroderma referred to Boo-Ali Hospital in Tehran were similar to other reports.
