Summary: Acne vulgaris is a common skin disorder that affects not only the face but also other parts of the body. However, there is limited research specifically focusing on truncal acne, with treatment guidelines mainly derived from facial acne protocols. This article provides a clinically focused review on the epidemiology, evaluation, and available treatment options for truncal acne, aiming to highlight knowledge gaps and encourage further investigation into its management.

Summary: The study found that using concealer can effectively help patients camouflage post-procedural bruising from minimally invasive esthetic procedures. Users required an average of 1.55 coats to cover their bruises, and 78.18% of users displayed clear skin without erythema after application of the concealer. No adverse events related to product use were reported by physicians or patients during the 14-day evaluation period.

Summary: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can promote the recovery of deglutition function in patients with dysphagia after stroke, with bilateral and high-intensity stimulation showing better effects. However, there is insufficient evidence on the safety of tDCS for post-stroke dysphagia.

Summary: The study evaluated a needle-free intradermal (ID) delivery system for delivering a live PRRS vaccine compared to the traditional needle-syringe method. Results showed similar viremia and antibody response during the immunization stage between the ID and IM groups, with a higher protection ratio in the ID group post-challenge. This suggests that the ID delivery system could provide similar or even better protection compared to the IM route for PRRS vaccination.
