ABSTRACT
The results of hormonal antiandrogen therapy obtained in our group of 12 patients suffering from acne premenstrualis are reported. The patients with the acne papulosa, papulopustulosa et indurata were given cyproteronacetate 2 mg and ethinylestradiol 50 micrograms daily between the 5th and 25 days of their menstrual cycle.

Clinical and statistical results obtained from the examination of a group of 65 healthy men, whose skin temperatures were measured at rest and during reflex thermal vasodilatation, are evaluated. Skin temperature was measured by infrared thermography under standard conditions on 5 locations. The assessment included changes in skin temperature in relation to the measured site, resting temperature, probands' age and estimation of lateral symmetry. The conclusions are documented by graphs giving the pattern of temperature changes for the whole group and subgroups of acropoikilothermal and acrohomoiothermal individuals.
