Molecular networking-based GC/MS profiling of Citrus japonica Thunb. peel and pulp lipophilic fractions and their antimicrobial potential against diabetic foot ulcer pathogens.
Scientific reports · 2026
Diabetic ulcers are a serious complication of diabetes, often exacerbated by microbial infections that hinder wound healing. This study investigates the antimicrobial potential of non-polar constituents derived from the peel and pulp of Citrus japonica (kumquat) as natural antimicrobial agents for managing microbial infections associated with diabetic ulcers.

Understanding Patient Perspectives on Rosacea: A Cross-Sectional Analysis of the r/Rosacea Forum on Reddit.
Journal of drugs in dermatology : JDD · 2026
BACKGROUND: As the largest online rosacea forum, r/Rosacea, a subreddit hosted on Reddit, provides a unique opportunity to better understand the concerns of rosacea patients. METHODS: Using Python software and artificial intelligence models, a total of 1,000 posts from the r/Rosacea subreddit were analyzed for emotional tone, post category, and mentions of signs and symptoms, as well as… Read on PubMed →
Development and Validation of a Novel Plasma Metabolomic Signature for the Detection of Renal Cell Carcinoma.
European urology · 2026
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Early diagnosis is critical for improving survival in renal cell carcinoma (RCC); yet, effective laboratory tests remain lacking. We aimed to characterise metabolic reprogramming in RCC and develop an artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled plasma metabolic model for RCC detection. METHODS: In this multicentre diagnostic model development and validation study, plasma… Read on PubMed →
Topical PEGylated azelaic acid nanohybrids: A lipid-polymer hydrogel system for sustained dermal delivery in rosacea management.
Colloids and surfaces. B, Biointerfaces · 2026
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the central face characterized by persistent erythema, flushing, and inflammatory papules. Azelaic acid (Az) is a first-line topical therapy for papulopustular rosacea; however, its clinical efficacy is limited by poor aqueous solubility and restricted penetration across the stratum corneum. To overcome these limitations, PEGylated lipid-polymer hybrid… Read on PubMed →
