- Hyaluronidase is the primary treatment for skin necrosis caused by vascular occlusion after hyaluronic acid fillers, but there’s a lack of strong evidence on the best dosages to use.
- A systematic review and pilot meta-analysis of 15 studies found that 77.8% of patients saw complete resolution of scars after treatment, with low doses showing a higher success rate (88.1%) compared to high doses (69.6%), although the difference was not statistically significant.
- The study suggests that future research should focus on providing detailed protocols to create evidence-based guidelines for using hyaluronidase in clinical settings.
Chronic pruritus (>6 week's duration) in the geriatric population (≥65 years old), is an increasing health care problem. The pathophysiologic predisposing factors are abnormalities of the epidermal barrier, immune system, and nervous system. Causes can be dichotomized into histaminergic and nonhistaminergic pruritus.

- The study investigates using ultrasound to locate the second posterior sacral foramen acupuncture point and measure needle insertion depth while observing surrounding anatomy.
- The process involved four main steps: locating the point by palpation, visualizing it with ultrasound, inserting the needle at a 30° angle, and verifying placement with another ultrasound scan.
- Results indicate that ultrasound can effectively assist in identifying acupuncture points and estimating insertion depth, potentially leading to standardized treatment protocols in acupuncture practice.

At present, beyond clinical assessment, the diagnosis of skin diseases is primarily made histologically. However, skin biopsies have many disadvantages, including pain, scarring, risk of infection, and sampling error. With recent advances in skin imaging technology, the clinical use of imaging methods for the practical management of skin diseases has become an option.
