: Pityriasis lichenoides (PL) is an inflammatory papulosquamous condition that exists in a continuous spectrum that consists mainly of pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta and pityriasis lichenoides chronica (PLC). The condition has been reported to erupt in response to infections, radiocontrast media, medications and vaccines. Most case reports on vaccine-related eruption involve the acute PL, hence, this report aimed to present a case presenting with lesions of the chronic variant. : A 21-year-old female presented with multiple erythematous to hyperpigmented ill defined plaques, some ulceronecrotic, topped with fine scales and excoriations on the upper and lower extremities, periumbilical area and back of 4 months duration, following rabies vaccinations. : Histopathologic findings, including interface dermatitis, parakeratosis, spongiosis, and mixed inflammatory infiltrates, confirmed the diagnosis of PLC. The patient responded well to oral corticosteroids and heliotherapy. PL is rare and requires additional research. The potential role of vaccination as an etiologic agent represented a crucial area of this investigation. Additionally, heliotherapy should be considered as a viable therapeutic alternative when phototherapy is not feasible.. Further research is needed to elucidate the pathogenesis of PL and establish evidence-based treatment protocols.

BACKGROUND: Non-invasive devices deivering focused low-frequency ultrasonic waves (FLFUW) that reduce circumference and volume of areas with localized fat are becoming more popular.
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether FLFUW is safe and effective in reducing localized abdominal fat deposit.
METHODS: A randomized double-blind , placebo-controlled  trial was conducted among Filipino adults with localized abdominal fat deposits. The primary outcome  measured was the mean change in abdominal circumference after four weeks of weekly treatments. The secondary outcomes measured were mean change in abdominal fat thickness, patient, weight, serum lipid profile as well as the occurrence of adverse events
RESULTS: There was a significant reduction in the mean abdominal circumference (p=
