    Abstract Angiofibroma of the head and neck is classically found in the nasopharynx of an adolescent male. We present a rare case where an angiofibroma was diagnosed in the anterior nasal septum of a 51-year-old woman, the eighth nasal septal angiofibroma reported in a female. This case highlights how an angiofibroma in an older woman has a less vascular behaviour than one in an adolescent male, even though radiological enhancement may suggest that the lesion is highly vascularised. Nasal septal angiofibromas can be managed by biopsy and removed by simple endoscopic resection with minimal haemorrhage. Although very rare, extranasopharyngeal angiofibroma/nasal septal angiofibroma should be included in the differential diagnosis when patients of all ages present with nasal obstruction secondary to a nasal mass, with or without epistaxis.

    Abstract Quasinormal modes (QNMs) are essential for understanding the stability and resonances of open systems, with increasing prominence in black hole physics. We present here the first study of QNMs of optical potentials. We show that solitons can support QNMs, deriving a soliton perturbation equation and giving exact analytical expressions for the QNMs of fiber solitons. We discuss the boundary conditions in this intrinsically dispersive system and identify novel signatures of dispersion. From here, we discover a new analogy with black holes and describe a regime in which the soliton is a robust black hole simulator for light-ring phenomena. Our results invite a range of applications, from the description of optical pulse propagation with QNMs to the use of state-of-the-art technology from fiber optics to address questions in black hole physics, such as QNM spectral instabilities and the role of nonlinearities in ringdown.

    Abstract Clostridioides difficile is a human pathogen that is ubiquitous in soil. Despite increasing infection rates and evidence of foodborne transmission, there is limited data on prevalence in soil or which factors influence persistence. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of these bacteria in soil from three different spinach fields and to examine the chemical composition (carbon, organic carbon, nitrogen, organic matter, minerals and pH) and microbiota to gain insight into the factors that may promote/inhibit C. difficile. The overall C. difficile prevalence (10%) was lower than expected (based on international studies) and a significantly (P < 0.05) higher prevalence was obtained in Field 3 (20%) as compared to Fields 1 and 2 (5% each). Analysis of the soil suggested that the pH as well as organic matter, calcium and phosphorus content directly and indirectly (via the microbiota) influenced the prevalence of C. difficile in adjacent fields, where other factors (eg. climate) are similar. Although further studies are required to validate our findings, the data provides the first step in developing potential soil based control strategies.

    Abstract Skin of color in dermatology encompasses individuals of various ethnic backgrounds including Black or those of African descent, Hispanic or Latino, Asian, Native American, Pacific Islander, and those of mixed ethnicities. Because these populations continue to expand, more patients of color (POC) are seeking out cosmetic enhancements and treatments. Aside from cosmeceuticals, nonsurgical cosmetic rejuvenation options, such laser and light-based treatments, neurotoxins, soft tissue augmentation, and more recently body contouring and skin tightening, are becoming increasingly popular worldwide. This article examines risks of cosmetic enhancement procedures in POC and best practices to prevent adverse events.

    Abstract Acne vulgaris (AV) is one of the top concerns dermatologists encounter from women. Until now, therapies addressing AV have largely centered around, and have been successful at, targeting the pathophysiological mechanisms that occur at the pilosebaceous unit: sebum hypersecretion, follicular keratinization, over-proliferation of Cutibacterium acnes, and a localized immune response. In addition to these, there is good evidence to suggest that other systemic drivers of a generalized inflammatory response may contribute to the development or exacerbation of acne and that addressing these underlying factors may open more opportunities for developing effective treatments. These include psycho-emotional stress, diet and metabolism, hormonal fluctuations, skin and gut microbiome, oxidative stress, and immune response. While there is accumulating evidence that vitamins, minerals, and botanicals may mitigate some of the pro-inflammatory effects from the activation of these underlying systems, their use and recommendations are limited by a lack of quality efficacy and safety evidence. Here, we present the current evidence for the use of individual supplements in addressing the 6 systemic underlying drivers of AV. We also present a clinical study on the safety and efficacy of a nutraceutical combining many of these ingredients in the management of AV in men and women.  J Drugs Dermatol. 2024;23(3):160-167     doi:10.36849/JDD.8138.

    Abstract Western Australia is an ideal location for wave energy conversion with some of the highest energy density waves in the world. Renewable energy technologies have had an emerging presence in Australia, seen as a vehicle to decarbonise energy generation and provide a sustainable future. This paper examines the environmental and economic feasibility of energy generation from wave energy conversion in Western Australia by undertaking an Eco-Efficiency Analysis (EEA). The environmental impacts of wave energy converters (WEC) were assessed by application of a Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) while the economic performance considered the Life Cycle Costing (LCC). An eco-efficiency portfolio was developed to visualise the sustainability of coastal energy generation options – wave generation, offshore wind and diesel generation – finding that wave generation was the most eco-efficient option and could be deemed a sustainable energy generation technology. The LCA results were comparable to literature, validating the impact assessment. The proposed wave device was estimated to produce a global warming potential of 27.3 kg CO₂ eq/MWh and have a levelised cost of energy at 134 $AUD/MWh. The environmental impact of the device was significantly lower than alternative coastal energy generation methods in Western Australia while the associated cost of energy remained competitive. This favourable assessment using the eco-efficiency framework confirmed that the application of WEC in Western Australia would be an eco-efficient option and that research should be undertaken to develop this technology as a key player in the transition to a sustainable energy industry.

    Abstract Hypothalamic melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) neurons participate in many fundamental neuroendocrine processes. While some of their effects can be attributed to MCH itself, others appear to depend on co-released neurotransmitters. Historically, the subject of fast neurotransmitter co-release from MCH neurons has been contentious, with data to support MCH neurons releasing GABA, glutamate, both, and neither. Rather than assuming a position in that debate, this review considers the evidence for all sides and presents an alternative explanation: neurochemical identity, including classical neurotransmitter content, is subject to change. With an emphasis on the variability of experimental details, we posit that MCH neurons may release GABA and/or glutamate at different points according to environmental and contextual factors. Through the lens of the MCH system, we offer evidence that the field of neuroendocrinology would benefit from a more nuanced and dynamic interpretation of neurotransmitter identity.
