Article Abstract
Background: Acne vulgaris is a common skin disease that is more common in young population and it can be associated with some sequels after resolving the lesions. Post-inflammatory erythema is one of these complications that can be disturbing for patients and does not have any definite treatment. This study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tranexamic acid (TA) as mesotherapy in treatment of post-acne erythema (PAE) treatment.
Method: This clinical trial study was performed in the dermatology clinic on 17 patients with persistent PAE (3 months after acne recovery). Two sessions of treatment were performed by a physician with 2-week intervals; TA was injected as mesotherapy into the right side of each patient's face as the case group, while the opposite side was used as the control group. A Visioface device was used to compare before and after treatment photographs of each side of the face in color mode with quantitative measures such as lesions count, area, and area percent.
Results: Finally, 15 patients completed treatment sessions. There were statistically significant differences in right side lesions before and after treatment with p-values of 0.047, 0.002, and 0.035 for count, area, and area percent, respectively. There was no significant difference before and after treatment in terms of count, area. and area-percent on the left side.
Conclusion: According to the results of this study, TA injection as mesotherapy for resolving PAE can be effective. However, due to small sample size, further studies are needed.

Pre-treatment monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells as predictive biomarkers for immune checkpoint inhibitor response in clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are a cornerstone of systemic therapy for clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), yet response rates remain variable and predictive biomarkers are lacking. This study aimed to determine whether baseline levels of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), especially monocytic (M-MDSC) and polymorphonuclear (PMN-MDSC) subtypes, could predict ICI response in ccRCC patients.
Methods: In this prospective cohort study, 20 ccRCC patients receiving ICI-based therapy for at least 3 months were enrolled.

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic had significant global public health consequences, affecting over 200 countries and regions by 2020. The development and efficacy of specific vaccines, such as the mRNA-1273 (Spikevax) vaccine developed by Moderna Inc., have substantially reduced the impact of the pandemic and mitigated its consequences.

Background: Influenza remains a significant public health challenge worldwide, necessitating robust forecasting models to facilitate timely interventions and resource allocation. The aim of this study was to develop a long short-term memory (LSTM)-based short-term forecasting model to accurately predict weekly influenza case counts in Tokyo, Japan.
Method: By using weekly time-series data on influenza incidence in Tokyo from 2000 to 2019, along with meteorological variables, we developed four distinct models to evaluate the impact of the external variables of mean temperature, relative humidity, and national public holidays.

Background: Wilson disease (WD), an inherited copper metabolism disorder, is linked to hepatic injury from copper accumulation-induced dyslipidemia. Children with WD have a high incidence of dyslipidemia, yet personalized risk assessment tools are lacking. This study established a predictive nomogram to provide foundational evidence for early detection in this population.

Objectives: The Charlson comorbidity index reflects overall comorbidity burden and has been applied in cardiovascular medicine. However, its role in predicting in-hospital mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated by ventricular arrhythmias (VA) remains unclear. This study aims to evaluate the predictive value of the Charlson comorbidity index in this setting and to construct a nomogram model for early risk identification and individualized management to improve outcomes.
