AIM To investigate the factors underlying the recent increase in the prevalence of rosacea with acne vulgaris, with a focus on changes in social and medical factors over the past decade. METHODS A case series of rosacea conducted from April 2022 to May 2023. Characteristics and clinical symptoms of rosacea with acne vulgaris in adolescents and young adults were investigated. As a countermeasure against rosacea, two-color (blue and red) light-emitting diodes (LED) were irradiated. RESULTS Of the total 84 patients with rosacea, 34 (40.8%) had rosacea with acne vulgaris. All patients had onset before the age of 30 years, particularly in the teenage years (25 cases). All patients with rosacea and acne vulgaris developed rosacea during benzoyl peroxide and/or adapalene (BPO/adapalene) therapy, with a higher incidence in females than in males. During the study period, 863 patients with acne vulgaris were identified in the author’s clinic, and 34 (3.9%) had rosacea and acne vulgaris. Among the 863 patients with acne vulgaris, 437 (50.6%) were using BPO/adapalene, whereas all (100%) patients with rosacea and acne vulgaris were using BPO/adapalene (p = 0.0083). Among the female patients with acne vulgaris, 265 used BPO/adapalene, and 29 (10.9%) developed rosacea. Contrastingly, 172 males used BPO/adapalene, and 5 (2.9%) developed rosacea, which was a lower rate than that in females (p = 0.0051). CONCLUSION In the present study, all patients with rosacea and acne vulgaris had an age of onset of less than 30 years, and most were teenage females. All patients developed rosacea during BPO/adapalene therapy for acne vulgaris and wore masks for at least 6 hours per day. Rosacea in patients with acne vulgaris may be induced by BPO/adapalene and prolonged mask-wearing. Preventing rosacea development during acne vulgaris treatment is important, especially in female adolescents; mask-wearing should be avoided as much as possible, and additional LED therapy may help prevent rosacea during BPO/adapalene therapy.","PeriodicalId":376307,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Cases and Reports","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129958046","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Insusceptibility to get malaria infection among patients treated with electrotherapy was locally observed, therefore the study was aimed to detect the potential effect of electrotherapy on acquiring of malaria infection to assess the management of the disease endemic in Khartoum state. METHODS This is descriptive cross-sectional study, all patients (101) attending and submitting to electrotherapy unit in the hospitals were enrolled, and their clinical reports were collected. Among these patients 55 were male and 46 were female and were divided into three categories according to the number of sessions, age and gender. The data were analyzed using SPSS software. RESULTS The study involved both sexes (55 males and 46 females), and the percentage of males not infected with malaria after electrotherapy sessions (84%) was higher than that of females (67%) out of the total number. Interestingly one of the patients undergoing electrotherapy sessions had been diagnosed with severe malaria with mental disturbance, the symptoms of the severe malaria decreased from him, and his condition improved after submitting to electrotherapy sessions. The exposing percentage of patients who did not acquire malaria after electrotherapy sessions was approximately 80% with P-value (<0.001) compared to those infected with malaria after electrotherapy sessions. CONCLUSION The study results suggest the potential hypothesis of existence of effect of electrotherapy on acquiring malaria infection, the study recommended to carry out further experimental in-vitro and in-vivo studies to prove and explain the mechanism of effect in order to assist in treatment and management of the disease.","PeriodicalId":376307,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Cases and Reports","volume":"149 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133411680","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

So early detection of PVD will help to assess its true prevalence and hence prevention of overt manifestation. OBJECTIVES To assess the true prevalence of PVD in T2 DM from Eastern India and its correlation with clinical and biochemical parameters METHODS It was a cross sectional study with consecutive diabetes patients attending OPD from 2015 January to 2016 July. Each was subjected to meticulous history, measurement of ABPI by handheld Doppler and various laboratory parameters. Patients having known vascular disease due to other causes were excluded. RESULTS Out of 103 patients, PVD was present in around 25% cases with positive association with age, male gender, and high body weight. Hypertension, hyperglycemic state (PPBS, HbA1C), total cholesterol, triglyceride and LDL independently increases the risk of PVD. Though low levels of HDL are a well-recognized risk factor for PVD, this was not reflected in study.

The answers were reviewed and scrutinized for how updated, accurate and succinctly presented the information was in text and referencing. The information ChatGPT3 provided was accurate, albeit surface-level. It lacked analytical abilities, missed vital studies, and all references links were incorrect. It seems that while the algorithm has access to all information on the internet until 2021, it lacked the analytical ability to dissect for important limitations about knee OA, which would not be conducive to potentiating creative ideas and solutions in orthopedic surgery.

DESIGN Primary data were collected from an infectious disease clinic outpatient setting using the PSQ-18 short form. The data were collected between February and March 2021. The study population included (a) non-institutionalized individuals, (b) individuals aged 18 years and older, (c) individuals living with HIV/AIDS, and (d) individuals who had had a provider visit in the past 12 months at an infectious disease clinic. METHODS Multiple regression was used to assess the relationship between the dependent and independent variables using a cross-sectional quantitative analysis. RESULTS The study revealed a statistically significant relationship between PPR and perceived quality of care from the perspective of patients living with HIV before and during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. CONCLUSION The study results indicated that overall provider-patient relationship (PPR), communication, accessibility, and convenience were related to perceived quality of care. The study findings also revealed that PPRs can uniquely impact perceived quality of care. Provider accessibility was also found to uniquely impact a patient’s perceived quality of care.
