Background: Acne-induced scarring is associated with a similar burden as acne, i.e. diminished quality of life, and may be avoided if patients receive appropriate timely acne treatment. In 2017, four item-Acne-Scar Risk Assessment Tool (4-ASRAT) was designed by Tan et al. to categorise into lower-risk or higher-risk for scarring. Its applicability outside the initial study population (France, Brazil United States) remains determined. Methods: A protocol developed create systematic approach...
Background: Patients affected by the COVID-19 pandemic required physical/social isolation due to transmissibility of SARs CoV-2; those hospitalized in healthcare facilities often suffered loneliness a complete separation from their loved ones through visitor restrictions.(1) Human contact and movement were restricted contain spread disease. When this kind restriction must be employed, “Guidance for Managing Ethical Issues Infectious Disease Outbreaks”, states that it is necessary provide...
Background Acne is a common disease that associated with scarring and substantial psychosocial burden. The Global Burden of Skin Disease reported the burden from acne as measured by disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) 188 countries specifically it greatest in Western Europe, high-income North America Southern Latin America. This paper aimed to identify risk factors for specific Ecuadorian population order adapt 4-ASRAT tool accordingly. Methods was an observational prospective study....
Introduction: Worldwide, 3.7% (144.7 million) of people diagnosed with COVID-19 developed Post-COVID Conditions (PCC). Therefore, creating and implementing multidisciplinary rehabilitation clinics is important to address the needs patients improve overall recovery. This study was made possible support from United States Agency for International Development funded RISE program, under terms cooperative agreement 7200AA19CA00003.

Early estimation of the risk having acne-induced scars is crucial for acne sufferers to ensure appropriate treatment and prevention. This paper explores feasibility using Convolutional neural networks (CNN) estimate developing based only on image analysis as a complementary tool diagnosis. A database whose scar risks have been evaluated by specialized dermatologists applying four-item-Acne-Scar Risk Assessment Tool (4-ASRAT) was used. The training dataset includes images patients with low,...
Abstract Background Acne is a common disease that causes large global burden. The Global Burden of Skin Disease reported in 188 countries the burden from acne as measured by disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), lived with disability and lost greatest Western Europe, high-income North America Southern Latin America. This paper aims to identify risk factors for scarring specific Ecuadorian population order adapt 4-ASRAT tool accordingly. Methods was an observational prospective study....
