      Grimstad, Øystein; Ingvarsson, Gisli (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-11)
      Keratinocytes and remnant of keratinocytes in nodules, abscesses, and sinus tracts are radically removed in surgical treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa.1 We are now using methylene blue in carbon dioxide laser surgery for patients with moderate to severe hidradenitis lesions (Hurley stage II-III). Methylene blue stains active inflammatory nodules and sinus tracts. We use a modified methylene blue ...

      Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare, highly aggressive neuroendocrine skin cancer. In more than 80% of the cases, Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) is a causal factor. The oncogenic potential of MCPyV is mediated through its viral oncoproteins, large T antigen (LT) and small t antigen (sT). To investigate the role of cytokines in MCC, a PCR array analysis for genes encoding inflammatory cytokines ...

    • Single use negative-pressure wound therapy compared to standard care in patients after carbon dioxide laser surgery for hidradenitis suppurativa 

      Grimstad, Øystein (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-04-03)
      Negative pressure wound therapy is a commonly used treatment modality for surgi-cal wounds healing by secondary intention. In an open, split side study with12 patients, we compared low negative pressure wound therapy to conventionalfoam dressing the first postoperative week after carbon dioxide laser vaporization ofhidradenitis suppurativa lesions. The primary outcome was time to complete woundhealing, ...
