Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigated the psychological impact of acne vulgaris on patients, specifically looking at anxiety, depression, and body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) while assessing the overall quality of life and self-esteem in dermatology patients.
  • - Conducted at East Jeddah Hospital in Saudi Arabia, the research used questionnaires to gather data on demographics, acne severity, and psychological conditions, revealing that the majority of participants were young university students with a mean acne duration of about 5.75 years.
  • - Results showed that while participants generally had normal self-esteem, many exhibited symptoms of anxiety and depression, and the findings indicated that acne moderately affected their quality of life, with a notably high rate of positive BDD cases among them.

Graphitic germanium carbide (g-GeC) is a novel material that has recently aroused much interest. Porous g-GeC can be fabricated by forming a lattice of pores in pristine g-GeC. In this work, we systematically investigate the influence of creating pores within pristine g-GeC.

The emergence of multidrug-resistant possesses a significant public health concern. Constitutively expressed MexAB-OprM efflux pumps in significantly contribute to its resistance to a variety of antibiotics. The development of efflux pump inhibitors (EPIs) has emerged as an attractive strategy in reversing antibiotic resistance.

Objectives: To perform a detailed description of executive functioning following moderate-to-severe childhood traumatic brain injury (TBI), and to study demographic and severity factors influencing outcome.

Methods: A convenience sample of children/adolescents aged 7-16 years, referred to a rehabilitation department after a TBI ( = 43), was compared to normative data using a newly developed neuropsychological test battery (Child Executive Functions Battery-CEF-B) and the BRIEF.

Results: Performance in the TBI group was significantly impaired in most of the CEF-B subtests, with moderate to large effect sizes.

In this study we present a novel energy transfer material inspired by natural light-harvesting antenna arrays, zinc(II) phthalocyanine-pyrene (ZnPcPy). The ZnPcPy system facilitates energy transfer from 16 covalently linked pyrene (Py) donor chromophores to the emissive central zinc(II) phthalocyanine (ZnPc) core. Nearly 98% energy transfer efficiency is determined from the changes in emission decay rates between free MePy to covalently linked Py, supported by comparisons of photoluminescence quantum yields using different excitation wavelengths.
