Psoriasis and alcohol: is cutaneous ethanol one of the missing links?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract Many exogenous factors including excessive alcohol consumption have been associated with psoriasis, but the underlying mechanisms still remain elusive. Drinking worsens therapeutic compliance, decreases the efficacy and increases the toxicity of systemic antipsoriatic treatments. Excess alcohol intake results in compromised immunity and increased risk of infections, but alcohol can induce proinflammatory cytokine production in various cell types and can increase mitogen-derived lymphocyte proliferation and lymphocyte activation. As we have previously reported, alcohol and one of its metabolites acetone induce ...

Dermoscopic features of Acral Lentiginous Melanoma in a large series of 110 cases in a white population.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSION The presence of a parallel-ridge pattern and/or the irregular diffuse pigmentation within the lesion is highly indicative of melanoma on volar skin. An irregular lines pattern is the most prominent dermoscopic feature of pigmented ALM of the nail apparatus. Amelanotic ALM either in volar skin or in nail apparatus is characterized by remnants of pigmentation and polymorphic vascular pattern.

BRAF V600E mutation and the tumour suppressor IGFBP7 in atypical genital naevi.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions The prevalence of BRAF V600E in AGN suggests that ultraviolet exposure is not essential for generating the mutation. The BRAF V600E mutational status appears to be of limited diagnostic utility in distinguishing genital naevi that exhibit atypia from those that do not. Similar to oncogenic BRAF-positive common naevi without atypia, enhanced expression of the tumour suppressor IGFBP7 in oncogenic BRAF-positive AGN supports that they are biologically inert.

Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor in toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) and Chelsea & Westminster TEN protocol. Br J Dermatol. 2009 Nov 11; Authors: de Sica-Chapman A, Williams G, Soni N, Bunker CB Summary Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is a rare but life-threatening, allergic drug reaction. Skin blistering with epidermal and mucosal necrolysis with subsequent detachment from an inflamed underlying dermis is a hallmark of the condition. The pathogenesis of TEN is not well understood, accounting for controversies about its management and significant delay in initiating potentially beneficial therapy. The...

Conclusions. The above data confirm previous reports that treatment with infliximab is an efficacious and safe option for patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis (and/or arthritis).

Factors affecting histological tumour-free margin after excision of Basal Cell Carcinoma.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions. We underestimated tumour extent at only 4% of margins. The most important factor affecting eventual histological margin was tissue shrinkage. Our novel technique allowed us to demonstrate that this shrinkage is not uniform across the specimen, but is disproportionately high in the tumour free margin. This suggests that previous estimates of margin shrinkage, based on whole-specimen contraction measurements, may have been erroneously low.

Conclusion Data indicate that neoplastic B cells of PBCBL have experienced the germinal-center reaction and also suggest that the involvement of VH genes is not entirely random in PCBCL and that common antigen epitopes could be pathologically relevant in cutaneous lymphomagenesis.

Hypertension and aldosterone levels in women with early-onset androgenetic alopecia.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion A higher prevalence of hypertension in women with androgenetic alopecia has been found. The elevated aldosterone values in these patients may contribute, alongside other mechanisms, to the development of AGA and may also explain the higher prevalence of hypertension. Blood pressure screening of women with AGA will permit earlier diagnosis of an unsuspected hypertension and initiation of appropriate treatment.

Conclusions Methotrexate may be a useful treatment for steroid-dependent chronic urticaria. Functional autoantibodies do not correlate with response. The beneficial effects of methotrexate may be anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive. It may therefore benefit chronic urticaria independently of the pathogenic mechanism, whether autoimmune or not.

Conclusions The early inflammatory events (IL-1alpha and TNF-alpha expression) seen, and the lack of pEGFR in perilesional follicles, indicate that inflammatory events induced by EGFR inhibition may initiate papulopustular eruptions along with the altered differentiations.
