Work-related stress and atopic dermatitis: Results from the study on occupational allergy risks.

Chronic stress at work is ubiquitous in modern societies. However, its influence on atopic dermatitis (AD) has hardly been investigated. This study aimed to elucidate the association between work-related stress and AD via a longitudinal study.

Trotz einer großen Auswahl wirksame Medikamente: Psoriatiker scheinen immer noch untertherapiert zu sein.

Hintergrund Und Ziele: Durch die Entwicklung neuer anti-psoriatischer Medikamente und verbesserte Strukturen zu deren flächendeckender Einführung hat sich die medizinische Versorgung von Psoriasis-Patienten deutlich verbessert. In dieser Studie haben wir die tatsächliche Inanspruchnahme des Gesundheitswesens untersucht und Gründe für die Unzufriedenheit der Betroffenen ermittelt.

Patienten Und Methodik: Diese nicht-interventionelle Querschnittsstudie wurde als anonyme Online-Befragung von 12/2018 bis 01/2019 in Deutschland durchgeführt.

Despite large choice of effective therapies: Individuals with psoriasis still seem undertreated.

Background And Objectives: Due to the development of new anti-psoriatic drugs in combination with improved structures for implementation throughout Germany, the medical care of psoriasis patients has markedly improved. In this study we investigated the real-life utilization of the health care system and identified reasons for dissatisfaction in affected individuals.

Patients And Methods: This non-interventional cross-sectional study was conducted as an anonymous online survey from 12/2018 to 01/2019 in Germany.

Patients with Chronic Urticaria Remain Largely Undertreated: Results from the DERMLINE Online Survey.

Introduction: Chronic urticaria (CU) is an unpredictable disease, with high disease burden and a significant negative impact on quality of life, especially in patients of working age. Many patients are undertreated, and there is poor awareness of strategies to manage patients with CU in the real-world setting. The current study aimed to gain a better understanding of CU from the patients' perspective, including the body areas most affected by wheals and angioedema, the disease burden and current use of the healthcare system.

Structure of bacterial and eukaryote communities reflect in situ controls on community assembly in a high-alpine lake.

Recent work suggests that microbial community composition in high-elevation lakes is significantly influenced by microbes entering from upstream terrestrial and aquatic habitats. To test this idea, we conducted 18S and 16S rDNA surveys of microbial communities in a high-alpine lake in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. We compared the microbial community of the lake to water entering the lake and to uphill soils that drain into the lake.
