Summary
Kleresca biophotonic therapy significantly reduced inflammation and redness in rosacea. This innovative light energy treatment offers a new option for managing rosacea symptoms effectively.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Photomedicine
Background:
- Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition affecting subtypes 1, 2, and 3.
- Inflammatory and erythematous reactions are hallmark symptoms of rosacea.
Observation:
- The Kleresca biophotonic platform uses fluorescent light energy.
- This technology targets multiple features of rosacea.
Findings:
- Kleresca biophotonic therapy demonstrated a significant decrease in inflammatory and erythematous reactions.
- The treatment was effective across rosacea subtypes 1, 2, and 3.
Implications:
- Kleresca offers a potential standalone treatment for rosacea.
- Combination therapy with invasive methods may enhance skin normalization and healing.

The energy required to carry out photosynthesis is light— typically electromagnetic radiation from the sun. The range of all possible wavelengths is known as the electromagnetic spectrum.
Photons
A photon is a discrete electromagnetic particle or bundle of energy. Photons are characterized by their frequency, wavelength, and amplitude, similar to the properties of a wave. Waves with higher frequencies transmit more energy and have shorter wavelengths than longer wavelengths that transmit...

02:27Predicting Products: SN1 vs. SN2
17.3K
Nucleophilic substitution reactions of alkyl halides can proceed via an SN1 or an SN2 mechanism. While in SN2 reactions, the nucleophile attacks the substrate simultaneously as the leaving group departs, in SN1 reactions, the substrate first dissociates to give the carbocation intermediate. Various factors such as the structure of the substrate, the strength of the nucleophile, and the nature of the solvent promote one mechanism over the other.

01:11ortho–para-Directing Activators: –CH3, –OH, –NH2, –OCH3
7.5K
All ortho–para directors, excluding halogens, are activating groups. These groups donate electrons to the ring, making the ring carbons electron-rich. Consequently, the reactivity of the aromatic ring towards electrophilic substitution increases. For instance, the nitration of anisole is about 10,000 times faster than the nitration of benzene. The electron-donating effect of the methoxy group in anisole activates the ortho and para positions on the ring and stabilizes the corresponding...

03:21The Energies of Atomic Orbitals
30.2K
In an atom, the negatively charged electrons are attracted to the positively charged nucleus. In a multielectron atom, electron-electron repulsions are also observed. The attractive and repulsive forces are dependent on the distance between the particles, as well as the sign and magnitude of the charges on the individual particles. When the charges on the particles are opposite, they attract each other. If both particles have the same charge, they repel each other.

02:49Calculating Standard Free Energy Changes
24.9K
The free energy change for a reaction that occurs under the standard conditions of 1 bar pressure and at 298 K is called the standard free energy change. Since free energy is a state function, its value depends only on the conditions of the initial and final states of the system. A convenient and common approach to the calculation of free energy changes for physical and chemical reactions is by use of widely available compilations of standard state thermodynamic data. One method involves the...
