Efficacy and tolerability of a detergent and care component for rosacea patients: A split-face, vehicle-controlled, randomized trial.

Background: The treatment of facial erythema and subjective symptoms of rosacea patients remains challenging in clinical practice. Cosmeceuticals, care components containing active ingredients such as phytochemicals, play a growing role in treatment plans. However, well-designed studies on their efficacy and limitations are widely missing.

"Face mask dermatitis" due to compulsory facial masks during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic: data from 550 health care and non-health care workers in Germany.

Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, wearing face masks is mandatory not only for health care workers (HCWs) but also for the general population in many countries around the globe.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to investigate the onset of adverse facial skin reactions due to compulsory face masks during the COVID-19 pandemic in HCWs and non-HCWs, and draw awareness of this new dermatological condition and its preventive measures.

Materials & Methods: A questionnaire was distributed to 550 patients and HCWs from the Department of Dermatology and Allergy of the University Hospital Munich (LMU), Germany.

Direct oral anticoagulants in adults with congenital heart disease - a single centre study.

Background: Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have been proven to be safe and effective in patients with acquired heart disease. However, data regarding their use in adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD) is scarce.

Methods: All ACHD under DOAC were retrospectively identified.

Patient Attitudes and Their Awareness Towards Skin Cancer-Related Apps: Cross-Sectional Survey.

Background: In the emerging era of digitalization and electronic health, skin cancer-related apps represent useful tools to support dermatologic consultation and examination. Yet, little is known about how patients perceive the value of such apps.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate patient attitudes and their awareness toward skin cancer-related apps.

Patient Attitude towards Videodermatoscopy for the Detection of Skin Cancer: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: Videodermatoscopy (VD) is a useful device for supporting dermatologists in the distinction between benign and malignant lesions. However, only few patients have access to VD in daily practice.

Objectives: To investigate patient attitudes towards VD.

Effects of Short-Term Moisturizer Application in Different Ethnic Skin Types: Noninvasive Assessment with Optical Coherence Tomography and Reflectance Confocal Microscopy.

Background/aims: Ethnic skin types are known to differ in their morphological and physiological features. Thus, treatment responses may vary among different races. We aimed to assess skin morphology of different ethnicities and to compare the effect of short-term moisturizer application using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM).

Usefulness of Direct Oral Anticoagulants in Adult Congenital Heart Disease.

As thromboembolic events (TEE) are common in adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD), adequate oral anticoagulation for prophylaxis or treatment of TEE is important. Until now, mainly vitamin K antagonists have been used in these patients. The purpose of this study was to provide first data on the use of direct oral anticoagulants in ACHD.
