Increase of scabies in Germany and development of resistant mites? Evidence and consequences
SummaryScabies has been diagnosed surprisingly frequently in Germany in recent years, and the use of acaricides has risen markedly. Present figures indicate an increase in the prevalence/incidence of scabies, but do not prove or quantify it for the following reasons: (a) scabies is not a notifiable disease in Germany; (b) the diagnosis is not always confirmedlege artis by means of light microscopy or dermatoscopy (which may lead to a comparatively high proportion of false ‐positive diagnoses due to the low overall prevalence of scabies); (c) repeated treatments of the same patient and treatment of contact persons are inc...

Unnecessary abdominal interventions in patients with hereditary angioedema
ConclusionsPatients with rare diseases such as HAE not only suffer from the effects of the disease itself. The conditions are often misdiagnosed for years owing to the general lack of knowledge about such diseases and unspecific manifestations. This leads not only to erroneous and ineffective treatment, but also to needless invasive diagnostic and therapeutic medical procedures. It is therefore important to increase the general knowledge and awareness of orphan diseases such as HAE with a view to improving diagnosis and treatment, minimizing the patients ’ suffering and enhancing their quality of life.

2018 update on dermatologic laser therapy: Part 1 – epilation, vascular lesions and pigments
SummaryTechnical advances in recent years have led to new dermatologic laser systems, light sources, and treatment concepts. Commonly used wavelengths – generated today with LED‐based devices – allow for the combination of various tissue effects and are associated with improved outcomes. Laser hair removal has become more efficient with the use of diode lasers that emit multiple wavelengths simultaneously. In the near future, novel LED‐bas ed lasers will also be introduced for the treatment of vascular lesions. Here, too, the combination of different wavelengths promises to be beneficial. Picosecond lasers have led...
