OBJECTIVE - The study was done to observe the clinical & demographic prole of acne in adult patients and the correlation of different types of acne lesions according to age and sex. MATERIAL AND METHODS- this study was a hospital based observational study conducted on patients who attended OPD of Sawai Man Singh Hospital , Jaipur. RESULTS- 150 cases were analysed in this study . Among 150 patients , 86 ( 57.3% ) were males and 64 ( 42.7 %) were females. In the present study maximum number of patients belonged to the age group 25-30 years with 117 patients , followed by 30-35 years with 22 patients. 112 patients had duration of lesions between 5 – 10 years , 24 patients had duration more than 10 years. 52 patients had papules , which was most predominant lesions , nodules & cyst were present in 12 patients. Among 150 patients studied 36 had scars , of which 14 patients had ice pick scars . 116 (58%) patients had lesions only on the face , 10 patients had lesions on face, back and chest . 23 patients were having seasonal exacerbation , while 31 patients had ares of acne with periods of stress . Out of 150 patients 68 had moderate acne and 14 patients had severe acne. Out of 150 subjects , 11 subjects were having menstrual irregularities , 3 subjects were having seborrheic capitis

Introduction: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA), the most common form of osteoarthritis (OA) is a considerable health concern worldwide. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a common therapeutic option for KOA. Different types of PRPs have varying efficacies. However, a comparative analysis of the qualities of these PRPs is lacking. Methods: Two types of PRPs, including autologous protein solution (APS), and leukocyte-poor PRP (LP-PRP) along with whole blood (WB) and platelet-poor plasma (PPP) were characterized for platelet content, leukocyte content, and composition in 10 healthy volunteers (HV) (the controlled laboratory study) and 16 KOA patients (a retrospective observational study). Additionally, the levels of the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB, and different cytokines were estimated in HV. Results: In HV, the concentrations of platelets and leukocytes, levels of different cytokines, including interleukin 1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra), soluble TNF receptor type II (sTNF-RII), and IL-1β, and the ratio of IL-1Ra/IL-1β were significantly higher in APS, whereas the PDGF-BB was higher in LP-PRP than APS. In KOA patients, a higher concentration of platelets was observed in LP-PRP, and a higher concentration of leukocytes was observed in APS than LP-PRP. Following the PAW classification system, LP-PRP was classified as P2-B type in HV (51.3 × 104/μl) and KOA (53.4 × 104/μl), whereas APS was classified as P3-A type in HV (110.1 × 104/μl) and P2-A type in KOA (29.0 × 104/μl). In a retrospective observational study, the KOA patients who underwent APS injection had a higher incidence of arthralgia, and this arthralgia lasted for a longer time than LP-PRP injection in the same individual. Discussion: The quality of the two PRPs differed distinctively depending on their preparation methods, which might affect their clinical efficacies and adverse events. Therefore, the characterization of these parameters should be prioritized while choosing PRP.

Objectives The objectives of this study were to identify the proportions of different types of uroliths, characterize the population of cats that present with urolithiasis and determine possible predisposing factors in a population of Mexican cats. Methods This study analyzed clinical specimens of feline urolithiasis submitted to our laboratory in the period from 2006 to 2017. The mineral composition of the uroliths was determined by qualitative and quantitative mineral analyses, performed by stereoscopic microscopy and infrared spectroscopy. Results In the population studied, 54.3% of all uroliths were calcium oxalate, followed by 32.1% struvite and 7.4% purine (urate and xanthine) uroliths, with other types accounting for 6.2% of submissions. The male:female ratio was 1.2:1. Calcium oxalate submissions were predominantly from males and struvite submissions were predominantly from females. The age of the cats with stone submissions ranged from 6 months to 17 years. In cats with calcium oxalate uroliths, 52.3% were aged 7 years or older. Cats with struvite uroliths were younger, with 65.4% younger than 6 years of age. Almost 90% of all submitted uroliths were from domestic shorthair cats. Conclusions and relevance This is the first epidemiologic study of urolithiasis in cats in Mexico. Age and sex predispositions to common uroliths were identified, as males aged ≥7 years primarily presented with calcium oxalate uroliths and females aged <6 years primarily presented struvite uroliths. Cases of urolithiasis of genetic origin, including xanthinuria and cystinuria, were also detected, in addition to silicate uroliths.
