Article Synopsis
- Acne vulgaris is an inflammatory skin condition linked to the immune system and oxidative stress; this study examines how intermittent fasting during Ramadan affects acne severity and immune responses.
- The research involved 40 acne patients, assessing severity with the Global Acne Grading System and measuring key cytokines (IL-17, IFN-γ) and oxidative stress marker (MDA) before and after fasting.
- Results showed a significant decrease in acne severity and levels of IL-17, IFN-γ, and MDA after Ramadan, suggesting that fasting may help improve acne by reducing immune response and oxidative stress.
Introduction: Trans-epidermal drug delivery, using "laser-assisted drug delivery", or micro-needling, are new treatment modalities, that can improve drug penetration into skin in treatment of alopecia areata patients.
Objectives: To evaluate the use of fractional carbon dioxide laser versus micro-needling in trans-epidermal delivery of triamcinolone acetonide and platelet rich plasma in alopecia areata treatment.
Methods: Interventional comparative study carried out on 60 patients, randomly divided into four equal groups.
Obesity is a risk factor for erectile dysfunction and atherosclerosis. Lipocalin-2 is an adipocytokine with proinflammatory properties involved in several disorders with metabolic alterations. Our aim was to study the relation of serum lipocalin-2 and carotid artery intima-media thickness (CIMT) to obesity in erectile dysfunction.

However, it also results in azoospermia and infertility in cancer survivors. This research was constructed to explore the possible therapeutic role of amniotic fluid-derived stem cells (AFSCs) in improving busulfan-induced azoospermia in adult rats.
