Post acne erythema (PAE) is a common sequela of acne inflammation, and it refers to telangiectasia and erythematous lesions remaining after the acne treatment. Although some PAE may improve over time, persisting PAE might be esthetically undesirable for patients. The efficacy of various treatment options for PAE has been investigated in many studies but there exists no gold standard treatment modality.

Article Synopsis
- Anemia and blood transfusions increase the risk of periprosthetic joint infections (PJI), and tranexamic acid (TXA) is known to reduce surgery-related blood loss and transfusions.
- A retrospective study involving over 8,000 patients examined the effects of TXA on PJI rates following total joint arthroplasty (TJA), comparing those who received TXA (either intravenous or topical) to those who did not.
- Results indicated that TXA significantly reduced PJI occurrences (1.1% vs. 2.1%), decreased blood transfusion rates, and led to shorter hospital stays, with no significant differences in venous thromboembolism or readmission rates.
Clinical Efficacy of Cysteamine Application for Melasma: A Meta-Analysis.

Melasma is a challenging, acquired hyperpigmentary disorder. The gold standard treatment is Kligman's formulation, which contains hydroquinone, tretinoin, and dexamethasone, but its long-term use is limited by the risk of exogenous ochronosis. Cysteamine, a tyrosinase inhibitor, reduces melanocyte activity and melanin production, showing strong depigmenting effects in patients resistant to Kligman's formulation.

Objective: Both blood loss and lower extremity swelling after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) can affect a patient's postoperative recovery. The aim of this trial was to investigate whether different doses of intra-articular tranexamic acid (TXA) can reduce blood loss and postoperative lower limb swelling.
Methods: In a prospective, randomized-controlled trial, a total of 225 patients were randomly assigned to three groups from September 2020 through January 2021: intra-articular injections of 3 g, 1 g of TXA, or placebo (saline solution).

Introduction: With the advancement of porous surface processing technology, cementless total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has once again garnered attention. Cementless TKA lacks cement sealing, raising concerns regarding potential blood loss. Recently, patient blood management (PBM) protocols have been introduced to mitigate postoperative blood loss and transfusions.
