research 604 Comparison of 1064-nm Nd:YAG picosecond lasers using fractional micro-lens array vs. ablative fractional 2940-nm Er:YAG lasers for the treatment of atrophic acne scar in Asians: A 20-week prospective, randomized, split-face, controlled trial
Both laser treatments improved acne scars similarly, but the Nd:YAG laser was safer and less painful, while the Er:YAG laser left patients slightly more satisfied.

research Localized cutaneous necrosis associated with the antiphospholipid syndrome
A woman with lupus experienced skin death due to a blood clotting disorder after stopping a blood thinner, which healed with treatment.
research Plain Language Summaries
Eczema patients have a lower skin lipid to protein ratio, older and longer-staying hospital patients are more likely to get pressure ulcers, hair loss in AGA is linked to muscle degeneration, vitamin D deficiency is common in alopecia areata and linked to its severity, standard liver tests don't effectively detect fibrosis in psoriasis patients on methotrexate, and bullous pemphigoid patients have a higher death risk but combination therapy may reduce it.
research Anti-androgen Treatments
For women with moderate to severe unwanted hair growth or acne, birth control pills are the first choice, with other medications like cyproterone, spironolactone, flutamide, or finasteride as alternatives, and permanent hair removal should be done with electrolysis or laser.
