Article Synopsis
- Localized bullous pemphigoid (LBP) is a rare skin condition affecting specific body areas, often triggered by local factors in patients with pre-existing antibodies against the basement membrane.
- A study of 7 patients showed various local triggers such as surgery and burns, and introduced diagnostic criteria based on the findings and existing guidelines.
- Follow-up revealed that 3 patients progressed to generalized bullous pemphigoid, with many LBP cases linked to prior injuries, particularly affecting older women and frequently involving the lower limbs.
Background: Reconstruction of surgical defects located close to eyelid edges, nostrils, or the mouth is challenging, as tension generated by direct closure or skin flaps in these sensitive regions tends to cause distortion. New repair techniques that prevent retraction may significantly improve outcomes.
Patients And Methods: Retrospective study of the use of 2 novel flap designs-the nautilus flap and the bullfighter crutch flap-to repair surgical defects in the peripalpebral, perivestibular, nasal, and perioral areas.
Background: The role of allergen sensitization in IL-31 production by T cells and specifically in the clinical context of atopic dermatitis (AD) has not been characterized.
Methods: The response to house dust mite (HDM) in purified memory T cells cocultured with epidermal cells from AD patients (n=58) and control subjects (n=11) was evaluated. AD-associated cytokines from culture supernatants, plasma proteins and mRNA expression from cutaneous lesions were assessed and related with the clinical features of the patients.
