Prognostic factors for cure following treatment of onychomycosisEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions Several host-related factors at baseline and positive culture at 24 weeks had negative effects on cure of onychomycosis 72 weeks after treatment was initiated. This finding merits a large study on prognostic outcome factors in onychomycosis. (Source: Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology)

Efficacy of narrowband UVB vs. PUVA in patients with early-stage mycosis fungoidesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions Our results confirm that phototherapy is a safe, effective and well-tolerated, first-line therapy in patients with early-stage cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, with prolonged disease-free remissions being achieved. It suggests that narrowband UVB is at least as effective as PUVA for treatment of early-stage MF. (Source: Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology)

The impact of obesity on skin disease and epidermal permeability barrier statusEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion Specific dermatoses as skin tags, striae distensae and plantar hyperkeratosis, could be considered as a cutaneous stigma of severe obesity. The low permeability of the skin to evaporative water loss is observed in obese subjects compared with normal weight control. Although the physiological mechanisms are still unknown, this finding has not been previously described and we believe that this may constitute a new field in the research on obesity.

Conclusion Treatment with 0.1% tacrolimus ointment rather than a standard topical corticosteroid ointment regimen was associated with clinically significant, incremental improvement in QoL, sustained over a 6-month period.

Discussion Seborrhoeic dermatitis is more common than other inflammatory dermatoses in immunosuppressed RTRs, but is not as frequent as in those immunosuppressed secondary to HIV. Degree and duration of exposure to immunosuppression and increased colonization with Malassezia yeast genus are likely be important in the aetiology of seborrhoeic dermatitis in RTRs. Further studies are required to clarify this. (Source: Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology)

Conclusion The strong association with familiarity, the unexpected higher frequency of ALU (compared with the idiopathic variant) and the good response to replacement therapy means that familiarity should always be investigated.

An outbreak of furniture related dermatitis ('sofa dermatitis') in Finland and the UK: history and clinical casesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
In February 2007, an epidemic of severe dermatitis from Chinese recliner chairs and sofas started to unfold first in Finland and a few months later in the UK. Some patients reacted in patch tests (PTs) strongly to the material of their furniture, either leather or fabric. There have been hundreds of reports of chair or sofa dermatitis from Finland and the UK, with all cases linked to the same furniture factory in China. Clinical findings in both countries were very similar and unlike any known dermatosis. Many cases have been quite severe, resembling mycosis fungoides or septic infections, requiring hospitalization.
