Researchers in China have combined network-pharmacology screening with molecular-docking validation to uncover, for the first time, a shared pharmacological network that connects sensitive-skin (SS) susceptibility with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). The findings provide a systematic target map for next-generation cosmeceuticals aimed at dual control of skin discomfort and uneven pigmentation.

Patients who are critically ill require constant monitoring and care. In such patients, creating a safe vein access is essential for continuous administration of medication and for monitoring the blood parameters. A novel ultrasound technique for inserting catheters into major veins near the collarbone demonstrated a 100% success rate and avoided serious complications like pneumothorax in critically ill adults, according to a retrospective study published in the Journal of Intensive Medicine.
