This study aims to shed light on the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in the early detection and risk assessment of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Bibliometric analysis. Articles related to AI in early identification and risk evaluation of NCDs from 2000 to 2024 were retrieved from the Scopus database. This comprehensive bibliometric study focuses on a single database, Scopus and employs narrative synthesis for concise yet informative summaries. Microsoft Excel V.365 and VOSviewer software (V.1.6.20) were used to summarise bibliometric features. The study retrieved 1745 relevant articles, with a notable surge in research activity in recent years. Core journals included Scientific Reports and IEEE Access, and core institutions included the Harvard Medical School and the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China, while core countries comprised China, the USA, India, the UK and Saudi Arabia. Citation trends indicated substantial growth and recognition of AI's impact on NCDs management. Frequent author keywords identified key research hotspots, including specific NCDs like Alzheimer's disease and diabetes. Risk assessment studies demonstrated improved predictions for heart failure, cardiovascular risk, breast cancer, diabetes and inflammatory bowel disease. Our findings highlight the increasing role of AI in early detection and risk prediction of NCDs, emphasising its widening research impact and future clinical potential. Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) is an acquired treatable autoimmune disorder. Due to limited availability and affordability of IV immunoglobulins and therapeutic plasma exchange in Pakistan, oral immunosuppressive drugs (ISDs) are used despite limited role in literature. The study aimed to determine the response to ISDs in CIDP patients by assessing the frequency of remission, reduction of disability using a neuropathy related disability score called Inflammatory Neuropathy Cause and Treatment score (or INCAT score), as well as reduction in steroid maintenance dose. The retrospective observational study of six months duration (May to October, 2020) was carried out in Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, Pakistan. Medical record of all the patients with idiopathic CIDP taking oral ISDs in last five years was selected which included bio-data, clinical signs and symptoms, medication details, and INCAT scores. Descriptive statistics were described i.e. frequency, percentages, mean/standard deviation using Microsoft Excel v.2021. Out of thirteen patients, Azathioprine was used in nine, Mycophenolate mofetil in two and Cyclosporine in two, with remission (INCAT score improvement ≥ 1) achieved in eight, one and zero patients respectively. Duration of ISDs ranged from three to twenty-four months (average 15.8 months). Patients with monoclonal paraproteinemia and prior exposure to ISDs had a poor response to the introduction of subsequent ISDs. The study describes preliminary experience of the potential role of relatively cheaper and more convenient oral ISDs (especially Azathioprine) as an alternative or sparing agent to first line agents for CIDP and sets the stage for larger scale studies and randomized controlled trials. The aim of this study was to identify and appraise the bibliometric properties of top 100 most-cited articles on regenerative periodontics surgery (RPS). The bibliometric research technique was conducted using a dataset comprising the 100 highly cited articles obtained from Elsevier's Scopus database on RPS. Information regarding the growth of articles by year, number of citations, citations per year, study design, study field, modalities, journals, authors, and countries were extracted for each article. Microsoft Excel (v.16) was utilized for data evaluation and tabulation. These articles on RPS were published over a span of 45 years, from 1975 to 2019, with citation metrics ranging from 144 to 820. Out of the 422 participating authors, 82% contributed to a single article. The 100 most cited articles on RPS were published in 45 years from 1975 to 2019 and number of citations ranged from 144 to 820. Out of the 422 participating authors, 82% contributed in a single article.. The study design with the highest number of cited articles was laboratory/animal studies. Others/not specified was the preferred modality, followed by infrabony modality. The Journal of Periodontology published about one-fourth of the articles, with W. V. Giannobile emerging as the most productive author. Among the 100 most-cited articles on RPS, authors from 25 different countries contributed, with the United States producing half of the articles (n = 51). Bibliometric investigation revealed that the most cited papers published before 2000 had higher citation counts due to their longer period of exposure. The ratio of authors per article increased after the year 2000. Infrabony emerges as a trending topic in RPS, with laboratory/animal studies, clinical trials, and literature reviews being the most frequently employed study designs. To study the impact of reorganization of European hospitals during the most severe phase of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on standards of care and early outcomes in patients with periprosthetic fractures. We reviewed available data collected from 14 hospitals in Northern Italy during the quarantine period between March 9 and May 4, 2020. The study included all patients admitted to emergency departments with periprosthetic fractures and scheduled for surgery within a 2-month period. Periprosthetic fractures were classified according to the Uniform Classification System (UCS). Distribution normality was tested using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Accordingly, data were described as non-parametric. Statistical analysis was performed using the Microsoft Excel v. 16.0. In total, 1390 patients admitted to the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology for emergency care throughout the follow-up period including 38 (2.7%) ones with periprosthetic fractures. There were 12 (31.5%) men and 26 (68.5%) women. Mean age was 81 years (range 70-96). Screening for SARS-CoV-2 by swab was performed in 23 out of 38 patients (60.5%) at admission. It was positive in 2 (5.3%) cases. Three out of thirty-eight patients (7.9%) were diagnosed with COVID-19 due to clinical signs. Of these, 2 patients were diagnosed with COVID-19 before surgery, 3 patients - after surgery. Although the study period coincided with quarantine, the number of admissions for periprosthetic fractures (3%) was similar to that in 2019 and accounted for 3% of the total number of visits to the traumatology and orthopedics departments. The study revealed no obvious changes in hospitalizations for periprosthetic fractures despite social restrictions during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. In emergency, hospitals were still able to provide standard care for patients with periprosthetic fractures despite significant amount of resources redirected for the pandemic.

The levels of platelet-derived extracellular vesicles (pEVs) have been reported as elevated in acute ischemic stroke (IS). However, the results of studies remain equivocal. This prospective, case-control study included 168 patients with IS, 63 matched disease controls (DC), and 21 healthy controls (HC). Total pEVs concentration, the concentration of phosphatidylserine-positive pEVs (PS+pEVs), the percentage of PS+pEVs (%PS+pEVs) and the concentration of pEVs with expression of CD62P+, CD40L+, CD31+, and active form of GPIIb/IIIa receptor (PAC-1+) were assessed on days 1, 3, 10, and 90 with the Apogee A50-Micro flow cytometer. The concentrations of pEVs, PS+pEVs, and %PS+pEVs were significantly higher after IS vs. HC (p < 0.001). PS+pEVs were higher after stroke vs. controls (p < 0.01). The concentrations of pEVs with expression of studied molecules were higher on D1 and D3 after stroke vs. controls. The concentration of pEVs after platelet stimulation with ADP was significantly diminished on D3. IS most notably affects the phenotype of pEVs with a limited effect on the number of pEVs. Ischemic stroke moderately disturbs platelet microvesiculation, most notably in the acute phase, affecting the phenotype of pEVs, with a limited impact on the number of pEVs. The accumulation of α-synuclein (α-syn), an essential step in PD development and progression, is observed not only in neurons but also in glia, including astrocytes. The mechanisms regulating astrocytic α-syn level and aggregation remain unclear. More recently, it has been demonstrated that a part of α-syn spreading occurs through extracellular vesicles (EVs), although it is unknown whether this process is involved in astrocytes of PD. It is known, however, that EVs derived from the central nervous system exist in the blood and are extensively explored as biomarkers for PD and other neurodegenerative disorders. Primary astrocytes were transfected with A53T α-syn plasmid or exposed to α-syn aggregates. The level of astrocyte-derived EVs (AEVs) was assessed by nanoparticle tracking analysis and immunofluorescence. The lysosomal function was evaluated by Cathepsin assays, immunofluorescence for levels of Lamp1 and Lamp2, and LysoTracker Red staining. The Apogee assays were optimized to measure the GLT-1+ AEVs in clinical cohorts of 106 PD, 47 multiple system atrophy (MSA), and 103 healthy control (HC) to test the potential of plasma AEVs as a biomarker to differentiate PD from other forms of parkinsonism. The number of AEVs significantly increased in primary astrocytes with α-syn deposition. The mechanism of increased AEVs was partially attributed to lysosomal dysfunction. The number of α-syn-carrying AEVs was significantly higher in patients with PD than in HC and MSA. The integrative model combining AEVs with total and aggregated α-syn exhibited efficient diagnostic power in differentiating PD from HC with an AUC of 0.915, and from MSA with an AUC of 0.877. Pathological α-syn deposition could increase the astrocytic secretion of EVs, possibly through α-syn-induced lysosomal dysfunction. The α-syn-containing AEVs in the peripheral blood may be an effective biomarker for clinical diagnosis or differential diagnosis of PD. Mitochondrial dysfunction has pleiotropic effects and is frequently caused by mitochondrial DNA mutations. However, factors such as significant variability in clinical manifestations make interpreting the pathogenicity of variants in the mitochondrial genome challenging. Here, we present APOGEE 2, a mitochondrially-centered ensemble method designed to improve the accuracy of pathogenicity predictions for interpreting missense mitochondrial variants. Built on the joint consensus recommendations by the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics/Association for Molecular Pathology, APOGEE 2 features an improved machine learning method and a curated training set for enhanced performance metrics. It offers region-wise assessments of genome fragility and mechanistic analyses of specific amino acids that cause perceptible long-range effects on protein structure. With clinical and research use in mind, APOGEE 2 scores and pathogenicity probabilities are precompiled and available in MitImpact. APOGEE 2's ability to address challenges in interpreting mitochondrial missense variants makes it an essential tool in the field of mitochondrial genetics. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) in body fluids are explored as disease biomarkers, but EV concentrations measured by flow cytometers (FCMs) are incomparable. To improve data comparability, new reference materials with physical properties resembling EVs and reference procedures are being developed. The validation of new reference materials and procedures requires biological test samples. We developed a human plasma EV test sample (PEVTES) that i) resembles subcellular particles in plasma, ii) is ready-to-use, iii) is flow cytometry-compatible, and iv) is stable. The PEVTES was prepared from human plasma of 3 fasting donors. EVs were immunofluorescently stained with antibodies against platelet-specific (CD61) and erythrocyte-specific (CD235a) antigens or lactadherin. To reduce the concentration of soluble proteins, lipoproteins, and unbound reagents, stained EVs were isolated from plasma by size-exclusion chromatography. After isolation, the PEVTES was filtered to remove remnant platelets. PEVTESs were diluted in cryopreservation agents, dimethyl sulfoxide, glycerol, or trehalose and stored at -80 °C for 12 months. After thawing, stained EV concentrations were measured with a calibrated FCM (Apogee A60-Micro). We demonstrate that the developed PEVTES resembles subcellular particles in human plasma when measured using FCM and that the concentrations of prestained platelet-derived, erythrocyte-derived, and lactadherin+ EVs in the PEVTES are stable during storage at -80 °C for 12 months when stored in trehalose. The PEVTES i) resembles subcellular particles in plasma, ii) is ready-to-use, iii) is flow cytometry-compatible, and iv) is stable. Therefore, the developed PEVTES is an ideal candidate to validate newly developed reference materials and procedures. Flow cytometry is commonly used to detect cell-derived extracellular vesicles in body fluids such as blood plasma. However, continuous and simultaneous illumination of multiple particles at or below the detection limit may result in the detection of a single event. This phenomenon is called swarm detection and leads to incorrect particle concentration measurements. To prevent swarm detection, sample dilution is recommended. Since the concentration of particles differs between plasma samples, finding the optimal sample dilution requires dilution series of all samples, which is unfeasible in clinical routine. Here we developed a practical procedure to find the optimal sample dilution of plasma for extracellular vesicle flow cytometry measurements in clinical research studies. Dilution series of 5 plasma samples were measured with flow cytometry (Apogee A60-Micro), triggered on side scatter. The total particle concentration between these plasma samples ranged from 2.5 × 109 to 2.1 × 1011 mL-1. Swarm detection was absent in plasma samples when diluted ≥1.1 × 103-fold or at particle count rates <3.0 × 103 events·s-1. Application of either one of these criteria, however, resulted in insignificant particle counts in most samples. The best approach to prevent swarm detection while maintaining significant particle counts was by combining minimal dilution with maximum count rate. To prevent swarm detection in a series of clinical samples, the measurement count rate of a single diluted plasma sample can be used to determine the optimal dilution factor. For our samples, flow cytometer, and settings, the optimal dilution factor is ≥1.1 × 102-

Following Nonablative fractional Fraxel laser (NAFL), a well-established treatment for skin rejuvenation, immediate post-procedural care is essential to address any potential complications and accelerate the healing process. To evaluate the efficacy and patient satisfaction of a topical skincare regimen containing vitamin C, vitamin E, and ferulic acid-CE Ferulic serum (CEF) following NAFL treatment in the Chinese population. In this randomized, investigator-blinded, split-face, controlled trial, patients with mild-to-moderate facial photodamage were randomized to receive CEF treatment on one side of the face and normal saline (NS) on the other side immediately after the NAFL procedure and daily during the 7-day follow-up. The primary endpoint was the change from baseline in erythema score on Day 7, with key secondary endpoints including changes from baseline in erythema index (EI), melanin index (MI), transepidermal water loss, skin hydration, skin sebum content, scabbing, edema, overall patient satisfaction, and post-procedure pain. In total, 50 patients (female 45/50) were enrolled in this study, with a mean age of 31.6 years. The mean change from baseline in erythema score was significantly lower on the CEF side than on the NS side on Day 7 post-NAFL treatment (0.04 ± 0.40 vs. 0.18 ± 0.48, p = 0.011). The CEF side also exhibited improved changes in EI, MI, and skin hydration, as well as higher overall satisfaction and less pain compared with the NS side. Applying CEF after NAFL treatment reduced erythema progression, maintained skin hydration, and promoted the healing process compared with NS. Chinese Clinical Trial Registry: ChiCTR2300069246. Multicentric Castleman's disease (MCD) with cutaneous involvement has rarely been discussed in dermatologic literature, with few reports. Cutaneous lesions in MCD may induce deep scars, causing a significant impact in the daily life of the patients. The treatment of Castleman's disease (CD) is usually a challenge, especially in case of cutaneous involvement. We report the case of a 35-year-old Caucasian man with a 3-year-old history of MCD with cutaneous involvement that we treated with a combined therapy characterized by siltuximab and 1,927 nm fractional laser. The patient showed a therapeutic response, characterized by a reduction of systemic symptoms and cutaneous manifestations. We believe that the combination of siltuximab and 1,927 nm fractional laser might have a synergistic beneficial role in patients with cutaneous iMCD and maximize esthetic outcomes. Anyway, additional evidence is needed to validate our findings. Microbotox technique, intradermal injection of microdroplets of botulinum toxin, is a favorable rejuvenation approach in subjects who prefer more natural appearance. To determine the best injection techniques (dosage, concentration, as well as number and location of injection points), efficacy and side effects of this innovative technique for facial rejuvenation. We conducted a search in Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases from conception until October 2021 with keywords "microbotox" OR "mesobotox" OR "intradermal injection" AND "botulinum toxin" AND "rejuvenation" AND "wrinkle" AND "face-lift." Twenty articles were included in this review article. Different types of formulation including onabotulinum toxin A (OBA), abobotulinum toxin A (ABO), and incobotulinum toxin A (IBA) were used. The most used concentrations were 10-20 u/cc of OBA. Number of injection points varied from 4 (forehead and periorbital areas) to 999 (entire face) with 2 mm to 2 cm apart. Adjuvant treatment modalities were cross-linked hyaluronic acid, intense pulsed laser, and Fraxel laser. Most studies reported the initial results appeared after 5-14 days of procedure, lasting for nearly 3-6 months. Microbotox is an efficient and attractive method for facial rejuvenation, mid-lower face-lifting, and fine wrinkles reduction in forehead, periocular, and cheek regions, especially in younger-aged subjects. Furthermore, it is a suitable treatment for neck rejuvenation and recontouring of lower mandibular border, particularly in older subjects with marked skin laxity. The Fraxel Dual laser system (Solta Medical, Inc., Bothell, WA) contains a 1,550 and 1,927 nm wavelength single handpiece with different indications for each wavelength. To discuss treatment setting recommendations and best practices for select on-label and investigational applications of the 1,550 and 1,927 nm dual laser system. Eight board-certified dermatologists with 10 or more years of experience with the 1,550 and 1,927 nm laser system completed an online survey about their clinical experience with the system and then participated in a roundtable to share clinical perspectives and best practices for using the laser system. For all Fitzpatrick skin types, treatment recommendations were described for selected approved indications for the 1,550 and 1,927 nm laser system, including both lasers in combination. Treatment recommendations were also reached for investigational applications with the 1,550 nm laser and 1,927 nm laser. Best practices for using the lasers during the treatment session to achieve optimal outcomes and decrease the post-treatment recovery time were compiled. The 1,550 and 1,927 nm dual laser system is effective for a wide range of aesthetic and therapeutic applications, on and off the face and across all Fitzpatrick skin types. Following our survey, we can appreciate that a variety of laser platforms exist to rejuvenate the skin by resurfacing the outer layer of the skin as well as heating the lower layers of the dermis. Based on reliable clinical effectiveness and a limited side effect profile, we can confirm that nonablative fractionated technologies greatly improve the appearance of lentigines, rhytids; eliminate sun damage, attenuate scarring due to acne and other causes; and treat hyperpigmentation. The Fraxel (Solta Medical) laser system delivers pulses across a wide range of density and energy levels. We determined that when increasing the pulse energy this led to an increase in thermolysis microzone depth and width without damaging the surrounding tissue. Due to its performance and various clinical applications, Fraxel laser can be optimally considered to be the gold standard for skin rejuvenation. Sebaceous hyperplasia (SH) is a common skin presentation in adults. Due to their unwanted yellow papular appearance, patients may desire their removal. Although several treatment modalities have been reported, the full range and efficacy of options are unclear. To determine the efficacy of laser modalities in the treatment of SH. The authors will also specifically assess the efficacy, recurrence rate and side effect profile of SH treatment with Er:YAG wavelength using a variable long pulsed (VLP) Er:YAG laser (SP Dynamis Fotona laser, Ljubljana, Slovenia) Methods & Materials: A comprehensive literature search was performed through PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science, using the search terms [(sebaceous hyperplasia)] and [(laser[s], Er:Yag, Er:Glass, Fraxel, CO2, PDL, Pulse dye laser, Diode, Xe-Cl, Excimer, Argon, KTP, Ruby, Alexandrite or Nd:YAG)]. The search yielded a total of 119 results and 8 were identified as relevant to this reviewResults: Pulse dye laser (PDL) provides a wide range of treatment results from complete reduction to flattening of the SH without significant adverse events; recurrence rates were unreported. Short PDL showed faster treatment response than long PDL. CO2 laser can produce considerable positive cosmetic outcomes with marked clinical improvement without any recurrence, but significant adverse effects have been reported. The 1450-nm diode laser has been described to produce good (75%) clinical improvement and lesion shrinkage ranging from 50% to greater than 75% without lasting adverse effects. In
