Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Folliculitis decalvans (FD) is an uncommon, chronic skin disease, characterized by cicatricial alopecia and follicular pustules. This condition affects men more often, and rarely occurs in children. The etiopathogenesis suggests that immunologic response to
staphylococcal superantigens may play a role in FD. Treatment is necessary, and should be adapted to the clinical form and severity of the disease. |

Author : DANIELA RADULESCU, ILEANA ADELA VACAROIU, FLAVIA LILIANA TURCU, CRISTIANA DAVID |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Management of recurrent UTI is a very topical subject due to the high prevalence of the disease, its influence on the quality of life and the resulting social burden, as well as the increasing ecological adverse effects of the prolonged and repetitive antimicrobial therapy prescribed over the time. Sustained efforts should be made for a better understanding of the risk factors and the pathophysiology of the UTI recurrence, a precise diagnosis and a circumspect attitude regarding the antibiotic prescription. All the alternative therapies must be considered and the best treatment option should be chosen, providing maximum efficiency and minimal risks for the individual and also for the community. |

Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Diabetes mellitus (DM) is the chronic disease with the prevalence in a continuous rise – reaching a percent of 8.5% from the general population in 2014. Depression is a medical condition more frequently associated with chronic illness such as DM and highly associated with a more reduced quality of life and adherence to medical recommendations. We used the PubMed library and searched after the following key-words: type 1 diabetes mellitus, type 2 diabetes mellitus, anxiety, depression, depressive syndrome, treatment adherence, life quality. Diagnose of a new condition such as DM may be a traumatic experience for patients which could deny the reality, could accuse others of their problems or could refuse to go for a second opinion medical advice, to admit the truth. The newly diagnosed cases of type 2 DM benefit from unique medical training just from the perception of the illness point of view, while the evolution of parameters such as HbA1c does not differ significantly compared with usual care. Also, in newly diagnosed patients with type 2 DM, there is a higher incidence of depression and lower mental quality of life. |
