Quantifying Physician Preferences for Systemic Atopic Dermatitis Treatments Using a Discrete-Choice Experiment.

Introduction: As research continues, new drugs will no doubt be added to the current pool of treatments for moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD). This raises the need for studies to determine prescriber preferences for different pharmacological options and the factors that influence their choice of treatment. Here we aim to explore physician preferences in the systemic treatment of moderate-to-severe AD, identify the sociodemographic characteristics that can influence physician preferences, and evaluate their satisfaction with current AD therapies.

[Intraepidermal Merkel cell carcinoma with INSM1 expression. A case report].

We report the case of a 90-year-old male who presented with an erythematous desquamative plaque on his left cheek. Histopathology demonstrated an epidermal lesion with multifocal epithelial growth. The cells were small, with scant cytoplasm and hyperchromatic nuclei with molding and a high mitotic and apopototic rate.

Study of cutaneous melanoma recurrences after sentinel node biopsy: Patterns of dissemination and use of complementary test in follow-up.

Objectives: To investigate the patterns of melanoma recurrence in the local population, including factors that may influence in this event and timing of relapse, and to determine the mode of detection of them.

Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study of patients with melanoma who underwent sentinel lymph node biopsy at the Complejo Hospitalario de Navarra (Spain) from 2002 to 2012. The following data were collected of each patient: age, gender, date of diagnosis, location of melanoma, histological subtype, Breslow thickness, ulceration, mitosis, sentinel node status, AJCC 8th edition stage, site of first diagnosed metastasis, mode of relapse, date of first relapse and time of death.

Porokeratotic eccrine and hair follicle nevus: a report of two cases and review of the literature.

Porokeratotic eccrine and hair follicle nevus is a very rare non-hereditary disorder of keratinization with eccrine and hair follicle involvement with only 9 cases described in the literature. In 2009 the term porokeratotic anexial ostial nevus was proposed to comprehend porokeratotic eccrine and hair follicle nevus and a related and more common process without follicular involvement: porokeratotic eccrine ostial and dermal duct nevus Recent findings suggest that both entities may be produced by a mutation in GJB2 gene, which is associated to KID syndrome. Herein we report 2 cases of porokeratotic eccrine and hair follicle nevus and review the existing cases in the Spanish and English literature.

Perianal Dermatitis.

Background: Perianal complaints are often consulted in dermatology clinics, and in many cases, a conclusive diagnosis is not easily made.

Objective: The aim of this study was to study and identify the epidemiological, clinical, and contact allergy features of patients with perianal dermatitis who attended at a contact dermatitis unit in a tertiary hospital in Spain.

Methods: Adult patients with long-lasting (>4 weeks) perianal dermatitis were recruited during the past 10 years for investigation and follow-up.

[Calciphylaxis. A review of 9 cases].

Background And Objective: Calciphylaxis is a cutaneous ischaemic vascular disease of small vessels with high morbidity and mortality. To date very few series of patients with this disease have been published, none from a Spanish hospital. The main objectives of this work are to analyze the demographic, clinical and histological profile of patients diagnosed in our department to identify risk factors and potential therapeutic strategies.
