Personal care product usage is becoming increasingly prevalent among men due to evolving attitudes surrounding appearance, aging, and masculinity. Given the specific characteristics of male skin compared with female skin and varying product use between males and females, the occurrence of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) due to men's personal care products needs to be better characterized. The purpose of this review was to identify specific product types and ingredients causing ACD in males.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFThe conventional methods for the photoinduced synthesis of benzimidazoles may need further improvement regarding a safer and energy-efficient synthesis platform with in-process monitoring for maximum yield within a much reduced reaction time. This work describes the use of a novel optofluidic Lab-on-a-Chip technology for safer, energy-efficient, and expedited synthesis of benzimidazole derivatives in excellent yields along with real-time quantitative measurement during product formation. This innovative method involves synthesis within LED-embedded microfluidic reactors, allowing for rapid synthesis of benzimidazole derivatives via photoinduced condensation cyclization reactions of aryl aldehydes and -phenylenediamines using a Rose Bengal/fluorescein photocatalyst.

- * A panel of pediatric dermatologists developed five consensus statements addressing the management of S. aureus-related AD exacerbations and current treatment challenges, emphasizing the need for improved patient care.
- * The panel highlighted the need for a comprehensive topical therapy that targets multiple symptoms of AD, including itch, infections, and inflammation, while also advocating for prudent antibiotic use to prevent resistance.
Article Synopsis
- Postinflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is a skin disorder caused by inflammation and damage, leading to excessive pigment in the skin.
- Oral tranexamic acid (TXA), mainly used to stop bleeding, shows promise in treating PIH and has been studied for its efficacy and safety.
- Research indicates that TXA significantly improves PIH and can be effective when combined with other treatments, making it a viable option for patients.
