Unveiling the value of C-reactive protein as a severity biomarker and the IL4/IL13 pathway as a therapeutic target in recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa: A multiparametric cross-sectional study.

Patients with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) experience numerous complications, which are exacerbated by inflammatory dysregulation and infection. Understanding the immunological mechanisms is crucial for selecting medications that balance inflammation control and immunocompetence. In this cross-sectional study, aiming to identify potential immunotherapeutic targets and inflammatory biomarkers, we delved into the interrelationship between clinical severity and systemic inflammatory parameters in a representative RDEB cohort.

[Translated article] Requirements for Accessing New Dermatology Drugs in Spain: Results of the EQUIDAD Study.

Background: Although the Spanish Ministry of Health prepares national therapeutic positioning reports (TPRs) and drug reimbursement policies, each of the country's 17 autonomous communities (ACs) is responsible for health care services and prescription requirements in its territory. The aim of the EQUIDAD study was to describe and explore potential differences in prescription requirements for new dermatology drugs across the autonomous communities.

Material And Methods: Cross-sectional study conducted in April and May, 2023.

Pain control with punch grafting in ulcers with underlying arteriolosclerosis.

Objective: Martorell hypertensive ischaemic ulcers are often misdiagnosed and can be a clinical and therapeutic challenge. Controversy exists regarding both their underlying triggers and the type of treatment that should be carried out. This study was designed to compare the effectiveness of punch grafting and conventional therapy in pain reduction.
