Article Synopsis
- Acne vulgaris (AV) can hurt people both physically and mentally, and new laser treatments are being developed to help reduce acne by targeting oil glands in the skin.
- Two innovative treatments, the 1726-nm laser and nanoparticle-assisted lasers, have shown great improvements in reducing acne lesions with fewer side effects, making patients very satisfied.
- While the 1726-nm laser is effective but may require new equipment, nanoparticle treatments can be used with existing machines, but aren't suitable for everyone. More research is needed to understand which method works best over a longer time.
Alopecia, also known as hair loss, is a highly prevalent condition affecting millions of men and women in the United States and worldwide, making it one of the most common complaints by patients presenting to a dermatologist. The symptomology on the presentation of alopecia can be highly variable, ranging from diffuse thinning of hair, discrete and localized patches completely absent of hair, or noticing significant shedding when brushing and showering. Although alopecia does not have a direct negative health impact on patients, it is nonetheless a debilitating disease as it can profoundly impact an individual's self-image and psychosocial well-being.

We aimed to determine whether survival is improved in locally advanced rectal cancer downstaged to pathologic stage 0-1 disease compared to true pathologic stage 0-1 tumors.
Methods: A retrospective review of the National Cancer Database between 2004 and 2016 was conducted.
