This review investigates the correlation between atopic dermatis and educational performance. Atopic dermatitis (AD) leads to intense itching, affecting sleep and health-related quality of life. AD negatively influences working life and poses a financial burden on society.

Childhood atopic dermatitis is associated with a decreased chance of completing education later in life: a register-based cohort study.

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) has far-reaching consequences in childhood and later in working life, but information on how it affects completion of education is sparse.

Objectives: To compare the educational achievement of individuals with AD in childhood/adolescence and individuals without a history of AD.

Methods: The study population included patients diagnosed with AD prior to the age of 16 registered in the Danish National Patient Register (DNPR) born in the period 1977-1993 and a 23-fold matched control group from the background population.

Male swarming aggregation pheromones increase female attraction and mating success among multiple African malaria vector mosquito species.

Accumulating behavioural data indicate that aggregation pheromones may mediate the formation and maintenance of mosquito swarms. However, chemical cues possibly luring mosquitoes to swarms have not been adequately investigated, and the likely molecular incitants of these complex reproductive behaviours remain unknown. Here we show that males of the important malaria vector species Anopheles arabiensis and An.

Acaricidal properties of ylang-ylang oil and star anise oil against nymphs of Ixodes ricinus (Acari: Ixodidae).

Ylang-ylang oil (YYO) from Cananga odorata (Lam.) Hook.f.

Essential oils of aromatic Egyptian plants repel nymphs of the tick Ixodes ricinus (Acari: Ixodidae).

Due to the role of Ixodes ricinus (L.) (Acari: Ixodidae) in the transmission of many serious pathogens, personal protection against bites of this tick is essential. In the present study the essential oils from 11 aromatic Egyptian plants were isolated and their repellent activity against I.
