Article Abstract
Background: Acne-induced hyperpigmentation (AIH) may accompany acne vulgaris (AV) inflammation in all skin phototypes. Trifarotene has shown depigmenting properties in vivo. This study evaluated trifarotene plus skincare because it is increasingly recognized that holistic AV management should include skincare and treatments.
Methods: This is a phase IV double-blind, parallel-group study of patients (13-35 years) with moderate AV and AIH treated with trifarotene (N = 60) or vehicle (N = 63) plus skincare regimen (moisturizer, cleanser, and sunscreen) for 24 weeks. Assessments included the AIH overall disease severity (ODS) score, post-AV hyperpigmentation index (PAHPI), exit interviews, photography, and acne assessments. Standard safety assessments were included.
Results: Trifarotene 50 μg/g cream improved significantly from baseline in ODS score versus vehicle (-1.6 vs. -1.1, P = 0.03) at Week 12, but scores were comparable between groups at Week 24 (primary endpoint). Trifarotene had a better reduction in PAHPI score at Week 24 (-18.9% vs. -11.3% vehicle, P < 0.01). Lesion count reductions were higher with trifarotene at Week 12 versus vehicle (P < 0.001) and at Week 24 (P < 0.05), as were IGA success rates versus vehicle at Weeks 12 (P < 0.05) and 24 (P < 0.05). Patients agreed that the skincare regimen contributed to less irritation, making treatment adherence easier. Photography showed improvements in pigmentation and erythema across all skin types. AEs were more common in the vehicle group versus trifarotene (30.2 vs. 16.7%, respectively).
Conclusions: In all skin phototypes, there was more rapid improvement in the ODS and PAHPI scores with trifarotene by Weeks 12 and 24, respectively. The combination of trifarotene and skincare correlated with high patient satisfaction and adherence to the treatment protocol.

Background: In hyponatremic patients, concurrent dialysate flow during hemodialysis may be an ideal option to mitigate complications such as osmotic demyelination syndrome (ODS).
Methods: Present randomized controlled trial enrolled dialysis-requiring chronic kidney disease (CKD) and acute kidney injury (AKI) patients with serum sodium levels < 125 mEq/L during January 2020 over 16 months. Hemodynamically unstable patients, as well as those with a history of seizures and neurological conditions, were excluded.

Purpose: To evaluate the safety and long-term efficacy of stapled transanal rectal resection (STARR) combined with the transverse perineal support (TPS) procedure in the surgical treatment of obstructed defecation syndrome (ODS) associated with internal rectal prolapse and excessive perineal descent (PD).
Methods: This multicenter observational case-control study involved 7 European centers. During the initial study period, patients underwent STARR alone (group 1), while in the subsequent period, patients received STARR combined with TPS (group 2).

Ocular disease (OD) represents a complex medical condition affecting humans. OD diagnosis is a challenging process in the current medical system, and blindness may occur if the disease is not detected at its initial phase. Recent studies showed significant outcomes in the identification of OD using deep learning (DL) models.

Osmotic demyelination syndrome (ODS) is typically associated with rapid correction of severe hyponatremia but is a rare complication of hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS). We describe two cases of ODS developing in HHS with contrasting initial sodium levels: one with profound hyponatremia (Na 112 mmol/L, corrected 167 mmol/L) and the other with hypernatremia (Na 149 mmol/L, corrected 177 mmol/L). Both patients exhibited severe hyperglycemia (2,398 and 1,277 mg/dL, respectively) and marked hyperosmolality (387 and 421 mOsm/kg) and were managed with cautious correction rates (1.

Obstructive defecation syndrome (ODS) is a condition that causes straining and may require manual evacuation and patients' thoughts circle around defecation impairing their quality of life. Mental comorbidity-related findings suggest a mental burden in ODS patients. In an observational cohort design, this study investigated the relationship between the mental distress and their clinical symptom severity for a group of patients with ODS who underwent surgical treatment.
