Article Abstract

To the visitor to Windsor Castle, the Thomas Lawrence portraits in the Waterloo Chamber represent the most important contributors to the military defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte, by British, Prussian, Russian and Austrian forces at the Battle of Waterloo. Nevertheless, only few individuals realise that a Greek physician, Count Ioannis Capodistrias, a native of the island of Corfu, stands among these leading personalities as a diplomat, the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs, who contributed remarkably to European unity in the early nineteenth century and as a statesman ('Governor' of Greece) with a tragic end to his life, after establishing a Greek State practically from ruins.

Peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) are antisense molecules with excellent polynucleotide hybridization properties; they are resistant to nuclease degradation but often have poor cell permeability leading to moderate cellular activity and limited clinical results. The addition of cationic substitutions (positive charges) to PNA molecules greatly increases cell permeability. In this report, we describe the synthesis and polynucleotide hybridization properties of a novel cationic/amino-alkyl nucleotide base-modified PNA (OPNA).

Background: Acne, a commonly treated skin disease, requires patient-centered management due to its varying presentations, chronicity, and impact on health-related quality of life. Despite this, evidence-based clinical guidelines focus primarily on clinical severity of facial acne, omitting important patient- and disease-related factors, including ongoing management.

Objectives: To generate recommendations to support patient-centered acne management, which incorporate priority and prognostic factors beyond conventional clinical severity, traditionally defined by grading the appearance and extent of visible lesions.
