lesions that were clear or almost clear
Approximately 200 subjects with chronic plaque psoriasis were enrolled in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study. There were four dose groups, three active treatment groups and vehicle. The active treatment groups were treated with the 0.5%, 1.0%, and 1.5% w/w oil-in-water formulations (see Example 3 supra). Approximately 50 subjects were randomized into each treatment group. A thin layer of cream was applied once per day to up to 20% body surface area of plaque psoriasis. Treatment was applied for 84 days and efficacy measured by the change in total lesion score, a measurement scale which assesses the amount of erythema, scaling and thickness of the plaques. 20 % of patents randomized to 1% w/w or 1.5% w/w of the xxx had **lesions that were clear or almost clear** at week 12, versus 5% on vehicle."

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Miquel Ribera recordó que la psoriasis es una enfermedad crónica que afecta a entre un 2% y un 3% de la población unas 800.000 personas en España y que los tratamientos actuales permiten un ´blanqueamiento´ duradero de las lesiones. "Los tratamientos controlan la enfermedad" dijo.

En el caso de los pacientes tratados con pomada cádica, al final del tratamiento se obtuvo blanqueamiento de las lesiones en 60,0 %, mejoría en 23,7 % y empeoramiento del cuadro sintomático por reacción adversa al medicamento en 11,2 %
