Objectives: To study the efficacy and safety of microneedling radiofrequency (MNRF) in the treatment of acne scars.

Material And Methods: This is a hospital-based and prospective interventional study. A total of 44 patients (18- 55 years old), skin types III-V, with acne scars, were enrolled.

Microplastic pollution: A global perspective in surface waters, microbial degradation, and corresponding mechanism.

Plastics are incredibly useful materials that have many benefits for both society and individual daily lives. However, the extensive utilization of plastic and plastic-derived products has led to plastic pollution in various environmental compartments across the world at alarming levels. Due to different biogeochemical processes, this plastic waste is broken down into tiny, omnipresent, and long-lasting fragments known as microplastics (<5 mm), which are causing great concern among scientists.

India currently ranks the highest in the world with over 3.86 lakhs new COVID-19 cases per day. With a spike in the number of cases in the second wave of COVID-19 in 2021 compared to the first wave of the outbreak in 2020, there have been varied clinical manifestations among masses.

COVID-19 Associated Mucormycosis with Newly Diagnosed Diabetes Mellitus in Young Males - A Tertiary Care Experience.

 Patients with a history of or active COVID-19 infection are predisposed to the development of opportunist bacterial and fungal infections. A rising incidence of a rare occurring fungal infection earlier, called mucormycosis, has been reported in abundance across the globe since March 2021, especially in India just as the second wave of COVID-19 began, caused by the trifecta of hyperglycemia (new-onset or exacerbation of pre-existing diabetes), oxygen therapy (invasive or noninvasive ventilation), and prolonged intake of steroids.  The present study aimed at assessing the prevalence of post-COVID mucormycosis in males of younger age group and spread of rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis (ROCM).
