Serum Biomarkers IL-6 and HIF-1α in Rosacea: Assessing Their Significance in Disease Pathogenesis and Telangiectasia Formation.

Introduction: Rosacea, a chronic inflammatory disease primarily affecting the central area of the face, is a complex condition whose mechanisms are still not fully understood. However, research has indicated a positive correlation between two molecules: hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). The levels of HIF-1α in rosacea patients have yet to be assessed.

Might Necrotic Keratinocytes Contribute to the Diagnosis and Pathogenesis of Psoriasis?

Introduction: Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that can pose challenges for histopathological diagnosis. Recent research has emphasized the importance of necrotic keratinocytes, meaning keratinocytes undergoing programmed cell death, for diagnosing psoriasis. It has also become increasingly evident that programmed cell death pathways play a significant role in psoriasis's pathogenesis, development, and progression, including via a recently identified programmed cell death mechanism called "PANoptosis.

Epidemiological characteristics of different types of adult acne in Turkey: a prospective, controlled, multicenter study.

Introduction: Acne occurring in adults over the age of 25 years is known as acne tarda or adult acne. Three types of adult acne are recognized: persistent, late-onset, and recurrent acne. Most studies do not compare the characteristics between the three variants.

Patient Use of Complementary and Alternative Medicine for Psoriasis Vulgaris and Factors Believed to Trigger the Disease: a Multicenter Cross-Sectional Study With 1621 Patients.

Introduction: Due to the chronic recurrent nature of psoriasis vulgaris (PV) and lack of definitive treatment for the disease, patients often resort to alternative treatments. Physicians seem to have low awareness of this issue.

Objectives: To elicit the perceptions of 1,621 PV patients on complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and examine factors reported to worsen PV.

Use of Complementary and Alternative Medicine among Patients with Acne Vulgaris and Factors Perceived to Trigger the Disease: A Multicentre Cross-Sectional Study with 1571 Patients.

Background: Acne vulgaris (AV) is among the common skin diseases for which patients refer to complementary and alternative medicine (CAM).

Aims And Objectives: To investigate the approaches to CAM methods and factors believed to increase the disease in 1,571 AV patients.

Materials And Methods: The sociodemographic characteristics of the patients and disease severity according to the Food and Drug Administration criteria were recorded.
