Evaluation and Detection of Facial Propionibacterium Acnes Bacteria and Phage
AcneThis multi-center, outpatient study will extract and evaluate the presence of facial P. acnes bacteria and phage strains using pore strips on up to 400 human subjects.
Clinico-demographic Features of Patients With Acne Vulgaris
Acne VulgarisThe Global Burden of Disease Study 2010 found that acne vulgaris is the eight most common skin disease, with an estimated global prevalence (for all ages) of 9.38%.(1) Furthermore . Acne is a chronic inflammatory process that presents with two types of lesions clinically; non-inflammatory (closed and open) and inflammatory lesions (papules ,pustules ,nodules and post inflammatory pigmentary changes).
Evaluation of the Presence of Enthesitis in Patients With Acne Vulgaris
EnthesitisAcne Vulgaris1 moreAcne vulgaris is an inflammatory disease of the pilosebaceous unit, affecting about 85% of the young population. In the studies p. acne is a potent stimulator of the release of IFN-gamma (IFN-)) and IL-17 from CD4 + T cells, and the presence of IL-17 + cells in the perifollicular infiltrate has been shown in biopsies of inflammatory acne lesions. Therefore, acne is thought to be a Th17-related disease (1). This study was aimed to evaluate the presence of enthesitis in patients with acne vulgaris.
Attitudes and Knowledge of Acne in Mexican Adolescents
AcneAcne is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects almost 100% of the teenagers worldwide. The peak incidence is between 12 and 18 years old, although it can be present in adults. There are many different beliefs about what can cause or exacerbate acne, and also about treatment. In Mexico, 26.4% of the population is between 15 and 29 years old, which represents that more than 25% of the population is at risk for presenting acne. In our country, the different beliefs about the causes and treatment of acne among general adolescent population have not been explored. The objective of the present study is to determine the possible causes for which young Mexicans do not go to the dermatologist to receive treatment for acne. Our main hypothesis is that the lack of knowledge of the disease is responsible for this behavior.
Cutaneous JAK in Vitiligo and Acne Vulgaris.
Vitiligo and Acne VulgarisThe Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK-STAT) cytokine signaling pathway is an emerging area of interest in dermatology, and emerging evidence suggests that this pathway may play a crucial role in pathogenesis of inflammatory skin disorders. Recent advances on the role of cytokines in the pathophysiology of immune mediated inflammatory diseases lead to the understanding that many pro inflammatory interleukins use JAK/STAT components for signal transduction .

Social Media Use of Acne Vulgaris Patients: Multicenter, Survey Work
Acne VulgarisAcne Vulgaris is a chronic skin disease. However, chronic and repetitive due to the quality of life and psychological status of patients can affect. For this reason, patients carry out various research on their diseases on social media and follow programs on these issues in other media such as television and radio. However, there is no study on how much patients are interested in these publications, how much they trust them, and how they reach and organize information via social media. The aim of the study will be to clarify how and how patients with Acne Vulgaris use social media to obtain information about the diagnosis and treatment of their disease, the interaction of patient groups with each other, and how often social media is used, especially in which group of patients.
