Persistent inflammation‚ tissue necrosis‚ and infection lead to chronic myofibroblast activation and excessive accumulation of ECM components‚ which promotes the formation of a permanent fibrotic scar. In contrast to acute inflammatory reactions‚ which are characterized

Current treatments revolve around anti-inflammatory agents such as topical corticosteroid ointments‚ creams‚ and intralesional injections to reduce follicular inflammation. Unfortunately‚ none of these therapies are universally effective. Here‚ we describe a case of erlotinib-induced alopecia refractory to intralesional and topical corticosteroids that was successfully treated with doxycycline as a novel treatment

1. PROTEIN is composed of amino acids. It is required to synthesize and repair muscle and other tissues and maintain fluid and acid-base balance in the body. Proteins also function as enzymes‚ hormones‚ and transporters. If necessary‚ the body uses protein to meet energy needs (4 kcals per gram). Excess kcals from protein are stored as body fat. If you consumed 60 grams of protein in a day‚ how many kcals would this convert to? (Choose your answer and delete the rest). (1 point) b)
