Prompt and Intensive Antiviral Chemoprophylaxis in Nursing Home Influenza Outbreaks
Findings suggest intensive chemoprophylaxis of 70% or more of residents in response to influenza outbreaks in NHs within the first 2 days is associated with a lower 14-day risk of hospitalization among residents, with additional evidence to support a benefit when 60% or more or 80% or more of residents receive chemoprophylaxis. These findings could strengthen evidence-based recommendations to inform best practices in managing influenza outbreaks in NHs.

Corrective and Restorative Dermatology in Cancer Survivors
Advances in cancer therapies have resulted in a growing population of long-term cancer survivors with chronic dermatological sequelae, such as persistent alopecia, nail abnormalities, pigmentary disorders, telangiectasias, scarring, mucosal alterations, and chronic radiation-induced skin changes. Dermatological sequelae may cause functional impairment, psychological distress, altered body image, and reduced quality of life.

Efficacy of Low-Dose Oral Isotretinoin Combined with Fractional Microneedle Radiofrequency Versus Low-Dose Oral Isotretinoin Monotherapy in the Treatment of Moderate-To-Severe Acne Vulgaris
Early active treatment with isotretinoin and FMRF is safe and better than isotretinoin monotherapy over 44 weeks regarding severity, reduced erythema, and improved surface roughness in moderate-to-severe acne vulgaris. This encourages early and effective treatment of acne to mitigate acne scarring and improve patients' quality of life.
