The duration of immunity after infection from SARS-CoV-2 conferring protection from subsequent COVID-19 episodes is not yet fully understood. We reviewed the literature for cases of documented reinfection.

A comprehensive computerized search in PubMed, through 15 December 2020, using the following terms in combination
To exclude cases due to prolonged viral shedding or protracted infection, only cases occurring at least 12weeks apart or confirmed as being sustained by genetically different viruses by viral genome analysis were included.

We identified 23 cases globally, for which viral genome analysis was performed in 10 cases and serology in 19 cases. The mean interval between the two episodes was 15weeks. Mean age of cases was 44.5years, and 10 (43.5%) were women. In 17/23 cases, no comorbidity was observed. In 10 cases, the first episode was more severe than the ensuing episode, whereas in seven cases the ensuing episode was more severe. In four cases, there was no difference in severity and in two cases both episodes were asymptomatic.

From this sample of 23 cases, a clear pattern of the second episode being less or more severe did not emerge. A better understanding of immunity to SARS-CoV-2, necessary to assess the probability of a second infection and the durability of protection conferred by vaccination, is warranted.

Overall prevalence varies between 8.8% and 40%, depending on the ethnicity of the population and the geographical area. Therapeutic management of melasma is challenging, with high recurrence rates which significant impacts on the quality of life. No single treatment is universally efficacious. Dapagliflozin ic50 Systemic treatments with tranexamic acid and polypodium leucotmatous had promising results, although the former was related to systemic side effects. Microneedling and peeling were also efficacious, although their superiority to topical hydroquinone, the gold standard in melasma treatment, remains to be established. Similarly, laser and light devices have been beneficial. However, recurrence rates remain high in all treatment groups. Combination therapies, either in double or triple combinations yielded the best results when compared to single terapies. Treatment choice should be made after Wood's lamp examination, as well as dermatoscopic evaluation, in order to select the best treatment option, targeted at each melasma subtype.
One of the ways to address the treatment gap for substance use disorders is to understand the barriers and facilitators to treatment. This study aimed to synthesize the literature on barriers and facilitators of treatment in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs).

We search Medline electronic database to identify English language peer reviewed empirical studies, both qualitative and quantitative which reported barriers and/or facilitators of treatment of substance use disorders.

Of 1389 titles, we selected 28 studies (14 were qualitative and 14 quantitative studies). The sample sizes of the qualitative studies ranged from 11 to 235. The majority of studies were from community or clinic settings. A wide range of barriers and facilitators were identified from the qualitative studies and were synthesized according to perceived susceptibility/seriousness, self-efficacy, perceived costs, perceived benefits, and cues to action. Most of the quantitative studies were community-based cross sectional-observational by design. Commonly identified barriers in these quantitative studies were perceived lack of problem or lack of need for treatment and low motivation whereas factors such as good family support and availability of effective treatment was found to facilitate substance use disorder treatment.

There are a wide range of barriers that hinder the substance use disorder treatment as well as certain factors that facilitate the treatment. Addressing them can help to minimize the treatment gap, which in turn can help in reducing the familial and social burden due to substance use disorders.

Intralesional triamcinolone is a gold standard in treating the keloids to comparation its effectiveness versus intralesional 5-fluorouracil intralesional verapamil and intralesional platelet-rich plasma.

Several 160-cases were categorized into four groups of each Group-Containing 40 cases. Group-A (control) treated with intralesional triamcinolone and Group-B intralesional verapamil, Group-C intralesional 5-fluorouracil, and Group-D intralesional platelet-rich plasma. Patients were assessed for clinical response based on a decrease in the patient and observer scar assessment scale (POSAS) at baseline and the end of treatment.

The mean base-line POSAS score was 91 ± 10.98 SD check-in Group-A, 90 ± 10.85 in Group-B, 89 ± 10.06 in Group-C, and 92 ± 10.84 in Group-D.POSAS score after 24 weeks 36 ± 12.74 in Group-A, 29 ± 10.91 in Group-B, 39 ± 13.74 in Group-C, 36 ± 12.74 in Group-D. Statistically, a significant difference was observed between groups.

Intralesional verapamil reported to be the most effective therapy and platelet-rich plasma was effective as intralesional triamcinolone acetonide with no serious side effects and 5-fluorouracil was less effective in treating the keloids.
