Atrophic acne scars present a significant therapeutic challenge. While subcision with various adjunctive treatments, including fractional CO₂ lasers and polydioxanone (PDO) threads, has been employed for scar remodeling, comparative evidence on their efficacy remains limited. This study aims to compare the clinical efficacy and patient satisfaction between subcision with fractional CO₂ laser and subcision with PDO screw threads in managing atrophic acne scars.

By integrating Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Weight of Evidence (WOE) techniques, this study aimed to delineate GW potential zones and assess water quality. This study fills the gap in applying advanced machine learning and geostatistical methods for accurate GW potential mapping.

- * A comparison of non-cancerous and patient-derived VFC cells shows an association between cancer progression, reduction in specific cell adhesion proteins, and changes in how cells move collectively.
- * Mimicking the normal mechanical activity of healthy tissue can reduce tumor-promoting factors, while a correlation was found between ECM content, a signaling protein (YAP), and patient survival, suggesting potential therapeutic strategies targeting these pathways.
Article Synopsis
- * The fabrication of standard samples for testing was done using aluminum molds, and techniques like sonication and silane coupling were used to ensure uniform dispersion of the components in the epoxy matrix.
- * Results showed dramatic improvements in the tensile and yield strength of the composite, highlighting the benefits of combining Zr and SiO with microfillers, making the material suitable for construction applications where strength and adhesion are key.
Article Synopsis
- * A study of 50 patients with psoriasis found that 22% tested positive for onychomycosis, with various fungi types identified among them, including dermatophytes and molds.
- * The research emphasizes the importance of combining mycology, histology, and dermoscopy for accurate diagnosis, revealing that spikes were the most common dermoscopic sign in onychomycosis cases while nail pitting was more typical of psoriasis.
