Article Synopsis
- Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a common autoimmune disease marked by skin blisters, with pruritus (itching) being a major symptom that hasn't been well studied.
- A study involving 32 newly diagnosed BP patients aimed to assess the characteristics of their itching using a questionnaire and visual analogue scale (VAS).
- Results showed that most patients experienced daily itching, particularly in the evening and at night, with significant aggravating factors like sweating and heat, while cold was the main relief. Itch intensity was moderate and did not correlate with the overall disease severity, indicating the need for better treatment options.
The reduction of cobalt molybdenum oxide under an ammonia atmosphere resulting in the formation of ternary interstitial nitride CoMoN was studied. Intermediate phases were identified by an in situ powder X-ray diffraction using a reaction chamber. It was supplemented by a thermogravimetric analysis of the process.

Regular physical activity reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases, however several studies have shown paradoxically increased incidence of AF in people practicing sport, especially in elite athletes.

Histologically the lesion is similar to the granular cell tumour of an adult but immunohistochemical stainings prove their different origin. Treatment involves surgical excision, recurrences are rare.

Background: Tooth agenesis is one of the most common anomalies of human dentition and is due to a complex and not fully elucidated etiology. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the possibility that polymorphic variants of genes encoding the main folate and choline metabolism enzymes might be associated with the risk of hypodontia in the Polish population.
Methods And Results: We analyzed 21 polymorphisms of 13 candidate genes and found that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the CHDH gene are significantly correlated with the risk of dental agenesis.
