Roflumilast for the Treatment of Seborrheic Dermatitis: A Review.

Seborrheic dermatitis (SD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder most commonly affecting areas rich in sebaceous glands, such as the scalp, face, axilla, and groin. Several factors can precipitate SD development, such as colonization of Malassezia, sebocyte activity, impaired immunity, and environmental influences. Topical antifungals, corticosteroids, and calcineurin inhibitors are the current mainstay treatment of SD.

Hyperglycemic Emergencies in Minority Children and Adolescents With Diabetes.

Mixed presentation of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS) has been reported in up to 27% of hyperglycemic emergencies. This 15-year retrospective chart review describes clinical features, risk factors, and outcomes among children presenting with hyperglycemic emergencies at our center. Out of 322 patients, 92% were Afro-Caribbean or Black with a mean age of 13.

Antimicrobial resistance and biofilm formation of penile prosthesis isolates: insights from in-vitro analysis.

Background: Inflatable penile prostheses (IPPs) have been shown to harbor biofilms in the presence and absence of infection despite exposure to various antimicrobials. Microbes persisting on IPPs following antibiotic exposure have not been adequately studied to assess biofilm formation capacity and antibiotic resistance.

Aim: In this study, we aimed to assess these properties of microbes obtained from explanted infected and non-infected IPPS using an in vitro model.

Postpartum Depression and the Disclosure Process.

Using a qualitative approach, this study examined disclosure patterns of women who have experienced symptoms of postpartum depression (PPD). PPD is a mental illness that new parents are at risk of developing. If left unresolved, PPD can have severe, negative impacts on the development of the baby and the well-being of the parent.
