[P536] A case of hypertrophic scar treated with combination of intralesional triamcinolone injection and extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Hypertrophic scar derive from abnormal fibrous wound healing with malfunction of mechanisms controlling tissue repair and regeneration. The Modified Vancouver Scar Scale (moVSS), including height, pliability, vascularity and pigmentation is used to assess the scar condition. Many different treatment modalities including intralesional steroids and surgery have been offered, but the results are often unsatisfactory. Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) is a transient short-term acoustic pulses successfully introduced in urologic lithotripsy and several orthopedic diseases. Furthermore, the potential use of ESWTs in promoting angiogenesis, decreasing inflammation and enhancing cell differentiation has been suggested. A 25-year-old female presented with a 2.0 x 0.6 sized linear erythematous plaque on the ankle. The patient was clinically diagnosed with hypertrophic scar and treated with intralesional triamcinolone injection for 3 months but the lesion showed no improvement. Then, we treated with ESWT and intraleisional triamcinolone injection at one-week interval. After the treatment, moVSS score decreased from 11 at week 0 to 7 at week 4. Herein, we report a case of hypertrophic scar successfully treated with combination of intralesional triamcinolone injection and ESWT.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
