A Current Perspective on the Effects of Flavonoids in the Treatment of Acne

Abstract: Pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, etc., are common types of acne that pop up on the skin each time, whenever dead cells and oils obstruct the outgrowth of hair from the hair follicle. It is very common to observe this condition in teenagers, but regardless of age, if the causing condition is met, acne can occur at any point in life. The characteristic feature of all types of acne is it starts with inflammation of the skin. These inflammatory marks (like black spots, pores, small scars, etc.) leave behind even when acne disappears. Plants like vegetables and flowers are naturally rich in different types of polyphenolic compounds called flavonoids. These flavonoids have various key functions, from guiding cell movement to maintaining oxidative pressure in the body. In this study, we discuss six types of flavonoids that have the potential to be used as med-icine for the treatment of different kinds of skin breakouts. Moreover, the result of molecular docking of different proteins that have an association with acne is also discussed.

Chronobiological types, duration of sleeping and psycho-emotional condition of teenagers

Sleep is a biological process that operates according to day and night cycles. This self-regulatory system is universal in all organisms, including humans and mammals. For this reason, the topic is widely analysed in the existing literature; however, no studies about chronobiological types of teenagers have been conducted in Lithuania before.253 schoolchildren, 13 to 18 years of age, were surveyed in schools of Vilnius and Panevėžys, Lithuania. Responses were gathered during the period from September 2013 to February 2014.The survey consists of four parts: demographical data, Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire, PedsQL 4.0 survey of life quality, and HADS – Hospital Anxiety and Depression Survey.In total, 115 (45.5%) boys and 138 (54.5%) girls participated in the survey. On average, boys sleep 7.10 (±1.27) hours, compared to 6.79 (±1.20) (p = 0.05) hours for girls. 94 (37.2%) survey participants feel sleepy and/or very sleepy at school. 133 (52.6%) respondents find it difficult/very difficult to wake up in the morning. 218 (86.2%) respondents use the computer before going to sleep: 96 (83.5%) boys and 122 (88.4%) girls.

Modified Limberg flap technique in the treatment of pilonidal sinus disease in teenagers

BackgroundPilonidal sinus disease (PSD) is most common in young adults but can also affect teenagers. Although many techniques have been used to treat pilonidal sinus disease in adults, few studies have compared treatment methods for the condition in teenagers. In this study, we aimed to compare the modified Limberg flap technique with the excision and primary closure technique, both of which are used routinely in adults and teenage patients. Materials and methodsThis study was a retrospective review of 40 teenaged patients who underwent surgery in a single pediatric surgery center over ~2years. The patients' age, gender, body mass index (BMI), number of sinuses, surgery technique and any complications were recorded. The patients underwent excision and primary repair or rhomboid excision and a modified Limberg flap. ResultsOf the 40 patients, 22 (55%) were female, and 18 (45%) were male. The mean age of all the patients was 15.20±1.31 (12–17) years. The average number of sinuses was 3.18±0.90 (1–5). Of the patients, 52.5% (n=21) had a high body mass index. These patients were obese (n=4) and overweight(n=17). Pilonidal sinus excision and primary repair were performed in 8 (20%) of the patients, while the remaining 32 (80%) underwent the modified Limberg flap technique. Complications were observed in 87.5% of the patients undergoing excision and primary repair, and in 15.6% of those who underwent the modified Limberg flap technique. Recurrence was observed with only the primary repair technique (37.5%). DiscussionWhen compared with adults, teenage pilonidal sinus disease occurs more frequently in females. In this study, no correlation existed between the number of sinuses, symptoms, BMI and postoperative complications. Based on the results of this study, the modified Limberg flap technique has a low complication rate when used to treat pilonidal sinus disease in teenagers.

Addressing acne

Acne is a common skin condition in teenagers, which can cause considerable distress and social isolation, but which is none the less often regarded by sufferers as a right of passage. Treatment of acne should begin early to prevent scarring (Joint Formulary Committee, 2007), which can be permanent in the case of larger lesions (Macleod and Munro, 1986). Although initial improvement is often slow, advice about this and encouragement to start and to continue treatment can have satisfactory outcomes.

Squamous cell vulvar carcinoma associated with Fanconi's anemia: a case report

Fanconi's anemia (FA) is a rare autosomal recessive syndrome associated with a strong predisposition to cancer, particularly squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of various organs. A few cases of lower genital tract neoplasia have been described. We present a 14-year-old black girl with an advanced squamous cell vulvar carcinoma treated with cisplatin chemotherapy plus radiation therapy. The patient died because of fungal sepsis. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was positive to human papillomavirus (HPV)-16. Vulvar carcinoma is a very rare condition in teenagers, but the association of Fanconi's anemia and SCC of many sites is common. Vulvar carcinoma when associated with Fanconi's anemia is a great treatment challenge.
