Introducción: La fotomarcación es una técnica no invasiva que consiste en la aplicación de un fotosensibilizador y la posterior visualización con lampara de Wood para determinar los márgenes de cáncer de piel no melanoma. Esto podría ser de utilidad en conjunto con la cirugía micrográfica de Mo...
Objetivo: La leucoplasia oral es el desorden maligno
de la mucosa bucal más prevalente a nivel global y su manejo
clínico sigue siendo un desafío. Se llevó a cabo una revisión
sistemática para determinar la eficacia clínica de la terapia
fotodinámica mediada por ácido 5-aminolevu...
Introduction Fluorescence guidance with 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) is a safe and
reliable tool in total gross resection of intracranial tumors, especially malignant
gliomas and cases of metastasis. In the present retrospective study, we have analyzed
5-ALA-induced fluorescence findings in different ce...
Contexto e objetivo: No mundo, aproximadamente 20 milhões de mulheres encontram-se infectadas pelo papilomavírus humano (HPV).

Metastasis to the calvarium with direct pericranium or dural infiltration may be treated
with radical surgical removal in selected cases. We describe microsurgical resection of
calvarial metastases with fluorescence-guided technique using 5-aminolevulinic acid
(5-ALA) in two female patients with breast c...
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the antibacterial effect of protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) generated by the exogenous administration of 5-aminolevulinic acid or δ-ALA and activated with an argon laser over a planktonic and biofilm of Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) as a pharmacological therapy al...
Introduction The improvement on the extent of resection (EOR) of gliomas with the combination of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) and intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI) has been demonstrated in previous studies. We present our results with the combined use of 5-ALA and (iMRI) in the surgery of...
Abstract Background: Photodynamic therapy with topical aminolevulinic acid (ALA-PDT) has been suggested to be effective in treatment of acne vulgaris. However, adverse events occur during and after treatment. Objectives: To compare the efficacy and tolerability of optical intra-tissue fiber irradiation...
