Objectives: Describe examine the function of sebaceous glands in the development and progression of acne vulgaris and talk about its causes and prevalence. Acne, which often affects the face, upper chest, and back, is a condition that typically manifests in children and teenagers and is associated with an overproduction of the male hormone androgen by the sebaceous glands and the adrenal glands. Where the Data Came from: Finding research that explain the pathophysiology, etiology, and prevalence of acne vulgaris as well as the function of sebaceous glands up to the year 2024 was the goal of this search and study of Medline databases (Pub Med and Medscape). Research Question Selection: For inclusion, each study underwent an independent evaluation. They were considered for inclusion if they met the following requirements: 1. The text was written and published in English. 2. Bound in scholarly publications that undergo a rigorous peer review process.3. Discuss the function of sebaceous glands in the prevalence of acne vulgaris and describe its causes and pathophysiology. When extracting data, studies were discarded if they did not meet the inclusion criteria. Ethical permission, established eligibility criteria, sufficient information, and well-defined evaluation metrics were all variables in determining the study's quality. For our concerned research outcomes, data were independently extracted from all qualifying studies utilizing a data collecting form. In conclusion, stress, oxidative stress, hormones, obesity, and other variables are all contributors to the pathophysiology of acne and, by extension, the incidence of AV. There are four main elements that contribute to the pathogenesis process: inflammation, follicular hyperkeratosis (changes in follicular development and differentiation), seborrhea (increased sebum production), and the colonization of pilosebaceous units by C. acnes.
目标描述研究皮脂腺在寻常痤疮的发生和发展过程中的功能，并讲述其原因和发病率。痤疮通常发生在儿童和青少年的面部、上胸部和背部，与皮脂腺和肾上腺分泌过多雄性激素有关。数据来源：本研究通过对 Medline 数据库（Pub Med 和 Medscape）的搜索和研究，旨在找到截至 2024 年解释寻常痤疮的病理生理学、病因学和发病率以及皮脂腺功能的研究。研究问题的选择：为了纳入研究，每项研究都经过了独立评估。如果符合以下要求，则可考虑纳入：1.用英语撰写和发表。2.3. 讨论皮脂腺在寻常痤疮发病率中的功能，并描述其原因和病理生理学。在提取数据时，不符合纳入标准的研究将被舍弃。伦理许可、既定的资格标准、充足的信息和明确的评估指标都是决定研究质量的变量。对于我们关注的研究成果，我们利用数据收集表从所有符合条件的研究中独立提取数据。总之，压力、氧化应激、荷尔蒙、肥胖和其他变量都是痤疮的病理生理学因素，进而也是 AV 的发病率。导致发病过程的主要因素有四个：炎症、毛囊角化过度（毛囊发育和分化的变化）、皮脂溢出（皮脂分泌增加）以及痤疮丙酸杆菌在皮脂腺单位的定植。

Background: Congenital talipes equinovarus is a birth anomaly impacting the musculoskeletal system, leading to the misalignment of a child's feet. This condition significantly impacts a child's physical capabilities and overall health, resulting in a diminished quality of life. Aim of study was to assess mothers’ knowledge regarding care of their children undergoing congenital club-foot surgery. Research design: A descriptive design was utilized to conduct this study. Setting: The study was conducted in the outpatient clinic in orthopedic pediatric departments at Benha university hospital and Benha Specialized Pediatric Hospital. Sample: A convenient sample of 50 children accompanied their mothers were selected. Tools of data collection: A structured interviewing questionnaire sheet to assess personal characteristic of mothers’, children and their knowledge regarding clubfoot. Results: Less than half of the studied mothers were in the age group 25 -< 30 years with mean age (27.52 ± 5.67) years old, half of the studied mothers had secondary education & more than two thirds of them were working, more than half of the studied children are in the age group 1 -< 3 years with mean age is 3.18 ± 1.07 years and first ranked, the majority of them are male. The majority of studied mothers have inadequate knowledge level regarding club foot. Conclusion: There is a statistical significant relation between total mothers' knowledge and their age, educational level and consanguinity. Recommendations: Mothers of children undergoing clubfoot should attend educational program and workshop to increase their knowledge.
