Article Synopsis
- The text discusses a rare skin reaction, symmetrical drug-related intertriginous and flexural exanthema (SDRIFE), that can occur after taking corticosteroids, specifically prednisolone, as shown in four case studies from a German dermatology center.
- The study involved allergy tests on patients, evaluating reactions to different corticosteroids and using classification systems to analyze potential cross-reactivity among them.
- The findings suggest that while corticosteroid-induced type IV hypersensitivity reactions like SDRIFE are uncommon, they can happen, and individualized assessments are essential for managing these reactions effectively, including considering alternative treatments and the possible need for emergency corticosteroids.
Background: PTEN Hamartoma Tumor Syndrome (PHTS) is a rare genetic condition caused by germline mutations in the phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN) gene with a phenotype that includes macrocephaly, cancer predisposition, developmental delay, increased risk for autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and learning difficulties. Studies characterizing neurobehavioral profiles are limited.
Methods: This single-site, retrospective case series was completed in children who have PHTS followed in a cancer predisposition clinic.
Methamphetamine abuse is expanding in Europe, leading to a shortfall in medical care for related disorders in many regions. Research focusing on the effectiveness and feasibility of methamphetamine-specific treatment programs is scarce, especially in short-term settings. To this end, we treated 31 patients with methamphetamine dependence using a new group psychotherapy manual added to standard psychiatric care.

To date, there are no standardized German-language therapy programs for qualified detoxification and motivation treatment. We have developed a therapy manual ("CrystalClean") over 15 therapy modules, which was evaluated in the present pilot study with regard to feasibility and acceptability.
