Article Synopsis
- Cutaneous mycobacterial infections are hard to diagnose and treat, but understanding the skin's immune response could lead to new therapies.
- A study with 10 participants injected them with Mycobacterium bovis and examined immune responses through blood tests and skin biopsies over time.
- Findings showed early systemic immune responses and revealed significant interactions between various skin cell types, indicating that nonimmune cells play a role in how the skin responds to mycobacterial infections.
Article Synopsis
- Dermatologic issues are a significant part of primary care, appearing in about one-third of visits.
- The review focuses on common skin conditions like alopecia, facial rashes, and various types of dermatitis, highlighting new and emerging treatment options.
- It aims to enhance primary care providers’ prescribing confidence and awareness of potential side effects associated with more aggressive dermatological treatments.
Aims: Previously, retinoids have decreased CYP2D6 mRNA expression in vitro and induced CYP3A4 in vitro and in vivo. This study aimed to determine whether isotretinoin administration changes CYP2D6 and CYP3A activities in patients with severe acne.
Methods: Thirty-three patients (22 females and 11 males, 23.
The traveling salesman problem (TSP) is one of the most often-used NP-hard problems in computer science to study the effectiveness of computing models and hardware platforms. In this regard, it is also heavily used as a vehicle to study the feasibility of the quantum computing paradigm for this class of problems. In this paper, we tackle the TSP using the quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA) approach by formulating it as an optimization problem.

Previous studies have established that general medical and dermatology textbooks have limited photographic representation of individuals with skin of color (SOC), even those diseases highly prevalent in these populations. As the US population continues to grow and diversify, there is an increase in individuals with SOC seeking cosmetic and procedural services.
