Spatial and seasonal variations of atmospheric microplastics in high and low population density areas at the intersection of tropical and subtropical regions.

There is limited information regarding spatial and seasonal variations of atmospheric microplastics (MPs) and factors influencing MPs at the intersection of tropical and subtropical regions. A one-year study was conducted at sites in a high-population-density village (HPDV) and a low-population-density village (LPDV) in Taiwan to investigate the characteristics and influencing factors of airborne MPs. The predominant shapes, sizes, and polymer compositions of MPs were fragments, 3 to 25 and 26-50 μm, and polyamide at both sites.

Comparative efficacy of treatments for molluscum contagiosum: A systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Background And Objectives: Various interventions have been applied to treat molluscum contagiosum, but benefits and efficacy remain unclear. To assess the comparative efficacy and safety of interventions for molluscum contagiosum, a network meta-analysis was performed.

Patients And Methods: Embase, PubMed, and the Cochrane Library were searched for articles published between January 1, 1990, and November 31, 2020.

Treating toxic epidermal necrolysis with systemic immunomodulating therapies: A systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Background: Various systemic immunomodulating therapies have been used to treat toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), but their efficacy remains unclear.

Objective: To perform a systematic review and network meta-analysis (NMA) evaluating the effects of systemic immunomodulating therapies on mortality for Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS)/TEN overlap and TEN.

Methods: A literature search was performed in online databases (from inception to October 31, 2019).

Effects of isotretinoin on glucose metabolism in patients with acne: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Previous studies reporting the influence of isotretinoin treatment on glucose metabolism have produced conflicting results. We therefore aimed to examine the effects of isotretinoin treatment on changes in insulin resistance and serum levels of adiponectin in patients with acne. A systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature published from the inception of isotretinoin to March 31, 2019 were conducted.
