The role of kilovoltage irradiation in the treatment of keloids

Abstract

This is a retrospective analysis of the results of kilovoltage irradiation given to prevent the regrowth of 203 keloids excised at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, Iowa City, Iowa, Lutheran Hospital in Moline, Illinois, and Mercy Hospital in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. We found that a minimum follow-up of 1 year is needed to evaluate the results of post-excisional kilovoltage x-ray therapy. A dose versus response effect was also observed. Although it is desirable to use the lowest possible dose of radiation that is likely to be effective, the likelihood of failure is too great to justify the routine use of doses of less than 900 cGy regardless of how they are fractionated or when they are given. It appears that the total dose of irradiation that is given to prevent the regrowth of an excised keloid is more important than when irradiation is started, the size of the largest fraction given, whether the irradiation is completed in 1 week or 3, or where the keloid has grown. When a small number of keloids were irradiated less than 1 year after they first appeared greater than or equal to 1500 cGy were sufficient to control 90% of them without re-excision.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
