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.
Background: Several treatment modalities are available for the treatment of vitiligo due to the lack of a uniformly effective therapy. Topical latanoprost 0.005% is an effective topical treatment.

We aimed to evaluate efficacy and tolerability of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections alone or in combination with noncrosslinked hyaluronic acid compared with standard therapy with topical hyaluronic acid gel in the management of cancer therapy-induced or aggravated vulvovaginal atrophy. This prospective, parallel-group comparative study was conducted on 45 female patients with a history of cancer and complaining of symptoms of vulvovaginal atrophy either induced or aggravated by cancer treatment.
