This retrospective study was conducted to explore epidemiology, risk factors, clinical and pathological aspects, and long-term treatment outcomes of BCC in a cohort of North Indian patients. Methods Data about patients registered in the dermatosurgery clinic between 01 January 2017 and 31 December 2022 with a confirmed diagnosis of BCC was collected. Results Among the 83 patients, 56.6% were females, and the median age was 62 years (6-85 years). Most patients (81.9%) had a single BCC lesion, resulting in a total of 126 assessed lesions. The median size of BCC at presentation was 1.90 cm, with nodular BCC being the most common histopathological subtype (39.7%). Head and neck region involvement was observed in 82.5% of patients, with the malar region, nose, and periorbital region being the most commonly affected sites. Pigmentation was clinically evident in 45.2% of cases. Surgical excision was the primary treatment modality (71.1% of patients). The median follow-up duration was 40 months (6-57 months). Recurrence occurred in five patients, with a longer disease-free survival period observed in the surgically treated group (55.58 ± 0.98 months) compared to patients treated with medical or destructive therapies (43.6 ± 3.482 months) (p = 0.003). Conclusion The data from this hospital-based study indicated a slight predilection for females among North Indian patients with BCC, with most cases occurring during their seventh decade of life. The condition commonly occurred on sun-exposed areas such as the malar region and nose, with a high percentage of pigmented lesions. Recurrence following surgical excision was rare, and overall treatment outcomes were favourable.</p>","PeriodicalId":50376,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Dermatology Venereology & Leprology","volume":" ","pages":"210-216"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141996834","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The pathogenesis remains elusive and especially in paediatric patients, effective and safe treatment is still uncertain. Objectives The purpose of this study was to summarise the clinical characteristics of UNT, explore the possible pathogenesis and evaluate the efficacy and safety of pulsed dye laser (PDL) therapy. Methods The epidemiological data, clinical manifestations, laboratory tests and pathological features of paediatric patients with UNT were retrospectively reviewed. PDL treatment was done on some of the patients. Clinical documents and patient images before and after treatment were assessed to evaluate efficacy and adverse events. Results Most of the cases (9/11) presented with unilateral lesions. The laboratory results of all the 11 cases were normal. Histological examination in six cases revealed multiple, dilated veins in the reticular dermis. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) staining was positive, whereas oestrogen receptor staining was negative. Nine cases were treated with PDL which was shown to be effective and safe. Conclusion UNT has typical clinical manifestations. The pathogenesis of this disease could be linked to VEGF; however, more research and confirmation are needed. PDL is an effective and safe treatment for UNT.</p>","PeriodicalId":50376,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Dermatology Venereology & Leprology","volume":" ","pages":"217-221"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141996859","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there is still no consensus on the optimal dosage and duration of tofacitinib. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of tofacitinib in treating psoriatic disease. Methods A literature search was done utilising Cochrane library, Medline, EMBASE, Wiley Online library, Web of Science and BIOSIS Previews through December 18, 2022. We performed a meta-analysis of published original studies to assess the impact of tofacitinib in plaque psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis therapy based on seven randomised controlled trials (RCTs) involving 2,672 patients (receiving tofacitinib) and 853 controls (receiving placebo). Results Compared with placebo, the treatment of 5 mg twice-daily (BID) tofacitinib for 12 weeks is sufficient to significantly alleviate the main clinical manifestations of psoriasis [≥75% decrease in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index score (PASI 75): Risk ratio (RR)=4.38 (95% Confidence interval (CI) 2.51 to 7.64); ≥90% decrease in PASI score (PASI 90): RR=21.68 (95% CI 4.20 to 111.85); Physician's Global Assessment of 'clear' or 'almost clear' (PGA 0/1): RR=3.93 (95%CI 3.03 to 5.09)]. Interestingly, there was no significant difference in improvement in PGA 0/1 with 5 mg BID tofacitinib given for 16 weeks when compared with 5 mg BID tofacitinib for 12 weeks [RR=1.11 (95%CI 0.98 to 1.25)]. Additionally, the 5 mg BID tofacitinib for 16 weeks treatment schedule significantly increased the incidence of upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) [RR=1.89 (95%CI 1.06 to 3.38)] as compared to 5 mg BID tofacitinib for 12 weeks treatment schedule [RR=1.15 (95%CI 0.60 to 2.20)]. Conclusion The 5 mg BID tofacitinib for 12 weeks treatment significantly improved psoriasis without causing too many specific adverse events. This indicated that tofacitinib is an effective treatment plan for psoriatic disease by reasonably controlling dosage and dosing time.</p>","PeriodicalId":50376,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Dermatology Venereology & Leprology","volume":" ","pages":"172-179"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142373387","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
