Tlre possible role of viral persistence as an epigenetic factor in the development of
psoriasis is discussed when a specific antigen (virus, especially type 1,2 (HSV 1,2)) is considered as a trigger factor
for direct or indirect action on immunocompetent cells.
The purposeTo evaluate the peculiarities of blood lyrnphocytes phenotyping in patients with psoriasis and
activated chronic Herpes slmplex virus infection compared to patients with psoriasis, activated chronic Herpes
virus infection, and healthy persons during treatment
The science of micronutrients (MN) remains at the stage of amassing factual material. Hair is a reliable and non-invasive source of information about the MN content in the body, for its metabolism is slow and only long-term disturbances in the concentration of nutrients can be reflected in it. The attention of many researchers has been drawn to the hypothesis of the influence of exogenous and endogenous factors on the hair functional status, especially with regard to essential and toxic MN. Today a tendency towards an increase in the number of paediatric patients with hair diseases ranging from excessive hair loss to various clinical forms of alopecia is observed.
Objectives. The study was aimed to identify the MN imbalance, manifested through the condition and appearance of hair, to follow structural changes in hair and to assess the influence of internal organ pathologies.
Introduction & Objectives: Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is a non-scarring progressive miniaturisation of hair follicles that develops in individuals with a hereditary predisposition. The incidence of AGA is about 80% of all hair loss cases in men. Early hair loss in men aggravates the psychological state of patients and often interferes with their socialisation.
The study objective was to investigate the quality of life and anxiety indicators in young males with AGA.
Acne is currently referred to a group of dermatoses that cause somatopsychic resonance due to existing or anticipated aesthetic discomfort and remains an important social issue in about half of patients with development of psychoemotional disorders.
Objective. To study the quality of life and the state and oiliness of the skin in women with acne depending on the
duration of the disease
It has been established that patients with psoriasis, which were under observation, had the skin microbial landscape of the lesions formed mainly of S. aureus, S. epidermidis, S. saprophyticus, Bacillus and Micrococcus genera. The clearest microbial contamination of the lesions has been observed in psoriatic erythroderma, slightly less accentuated skin microbial contamination has been found in patients with the widespread form of dermatitis and the presence of arthropathy, and the least number of microorganisms have been found in patients with common psoriasis without complicated phenomena.
