The Relationship Between Nutrition Habits, BMI, Anxiety, and Seborrheic Dermatitis.

Background: Seborrheic dermatitis (SD) is a chronic, inflammatory disease characterized by unknown etiopathogenesis. It affects skin areas rich in sebaceous glands. There are strong data on the relationship between nutrition habits, body mass index (BMI), psychoemotional status, and sebaceous gland diseases such as acne, rosacea, and androgenetic alopecia.

Narrowband Ultraviolet B Phototherapy for Generalized Granuloma Annulare: Real-Life Experience and Review of the Literature.

Introduction: Generalized granuloma annulare (GA) is an uncommon noninfectious granulomatous dermatitis. Phototherapy is often considered first-line therapy, with more evidence for psoralen ultraviolet A than narrowband ultraviolet B (NB-UVB). We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of NB-UVB in generalized GA and to review the literature.

Development and Validation of the Isotretinoin Hesitancy Scale for Acne Vulgaris: A Preliminary Study.

Background: Oral isotretinoin is the most effective systemic treatment for acne patients who fail to respond to other forms of therapies. However, hesitations and concerns regarding its side effect profile may detain the patients from treatment. This study aimed to develop and validate the Isotretinoin Hesitancy Scale (IHS) among acne patients.

Emergency complications during dermatological, surgical, or cosmetic procedures: A cross-sectional study among dermatologists.

Background: Medical emergency complications may occur during dermatological, surgical, and cosmetic procedures.

Aims: This study aimed to investigate the frequency of dermatologists who experienced emergency complications as well as their level of knowledge regarding emergencies and basic life support.

Methods: The cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted online among 240 dermatologists to whom a questionnaire was sent via email and a closed social media group.

Efficacy and safety of secukinumab in psoriasis: five-year real life experience.

Background: The efficacy and safety of secukinumab in psoriasis patients has been demonstrated in randomized controlled clinical trials.

Objectives: The authors aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of secukinumab in plaque psoriasis patients followed in our clinic.

Methods: Data from 101 plaque psoriasis patients who received at least 16 weeks of secukinumab treatment between June 2018 and June 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.

Narrowband ultraviolet B phototherapy for pityriasis lichenoides: A real-life experience.

Introduction: Pityriasis lichenoides (PL) is a papulosquamous disease affecting both children and adults, for which narrowband-UVB (NB-UVB) phototherapy is regarded as a commonly used treatment option. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of NB-UVB phototherapy in the management of PL and to compare response rates in pediatric and adult age groups.

Materials And Methods: This observational, retrospective study included 20 PL patients (12 pityriasis lichenoides chronica; PLC, 8 pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta; PLEVA) who failed to respond to other treatment modalities.

Has the COVID-19 pandemic changed attitudes and behaviors concerning cosmetic care and procedures among patients presenting to the dermatology outpatient clinic? A multicenter study with 1437 participants.

Background: The rate of cosmetic procedures and use of skincare products is considered to be affected during the pandemic period; however, this has not been investigated yet.

Hair Transplantation in Burn Scar Alopecia After Combined Non-Ablative Fractional Laser and Microfat Graft Treatment.

Background: Burn scar and alopecia on hair-bearing areas can severely affect the social life of patients. Unlike healthy skin, poor biological and mechanical properties of scar tissue in the recipient area can reduce the survival rate of hair graft following hair transplantation.

Objectives: The authors sought to determine if combined non-ablative fractional laser (NAFL) and microfat injection could improve the survival rate of hair grafts on post burn scar.

Prevalence of early-onset androgenetic alopecia and its relationship with lifestyle and dietary habits.

Background: Early-onset androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is the most common cause of alopecia in men under 30 years of age; however, its prevalence and non-genetic risk factors are not well documented. The aim of our study was to determine the early-onset AGA prevalence and to evaluate its relationship with lifestyle and dietary habits.

Methods: This study was conducted on 1507 male university students aged 18-30 years.
