Prevalence of Anxiety and Depression in Pakistani Patients With Acne Vulgaris.

Introduction Adolescents with acne vulgaris, a prevalent dermatological condition, have a significant prevalence of anxiety and depression, which can have negative effects on their quality of life. Objectives The purpose of this study was to find out the prevalence of anxiety and depression in Pakistani patients with acne vulgaris. Methods This six-month cohort study was conducted at Chaudhry Muhammad Akram Teaching and Research Hospital in Lahore, Pakistan, involving 250 acne vulgaris patients (aged 16-40) and 200 age- and sex-matched controls.

Assessment of Online Arabic Patient-Centered Knowledge About Orthognathic Surgery: An Infodemiologic Study.

Background: Orthognathic surgery, addressing skeletal and dental irregularities, is pivotal for patients suffering from malocclusion, facial asymmetry, and related disorders. With the internet becoming a primary source of health information, the accuracy, quality, and reliability of online Arabic-language patient-centered information on orthognathic surgery necessitate thorough evaluation. This study aimed to assess the quality, reliability, and readability of Arabic online resources about orthognathic surgery to ascertain their potential as reliable patient education tools.

Morpho-Volumetric Changes of the Pharyngeal Airway With Traumatic Maxillofacial Injuries: A Retrospective Radiographic Study.

Background: When dealing with traumatized patients, it is crucial to prioritize securing their airway. However, intubating someone who has sustained significant facial injuries can pose difficulties, as the narrow and altered shape of their upper airway may impede their ability to open their mouth. In light of this, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the volumetric and morphological alterations to the upper airway resulting from facial trauma by utilizing computed tomography (CT) scans.

Sequential Diimination, Staudinger [2 + 2] Ketene-Imine Cycloaddition, and Ring-Closing Metathesis (RCM) Reactions: In Route to Bis(4-spiro-fused-β-lactams)-Based Macrocycles.
