Positivity of celiac disease-specific antibodies and non-celiac hypersensitivity in psoriasis.

Introduction: Plaque psoriasis and celiac disease are multisystemic diseases. The association of psoriasis and enteropathy with histological changes similar to celiac disease has already been described, and it has also been found that a gluten-free diet improves psoriatic changes. This study assesses the relationship between celiac disease antibodies and psoriasis.

First-year nursing students' attitudes towards artificial intelligence: Cross-sectional multi-center study.

Aim: To assess the attitudes of nursing students toward artificial intelligence.

Background: Possible applications of artificial intelligence-powered systems in nursing cover all aspects of nursing care, from patient care to risk management. Although the final acceptance of artificial intelligence in practice will depend on positive 'nurses' attitudes toward artificial intelligence, those attitudes have gained little attention so far.

Pain associated with psoriasis: a qualitative study.

Background: Pain is a major factor in the psychosocial impact of psoriasis. There is a paucity of qualitative reports of dermatologists' views on psoriasis-related pain.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore the views of dermatologists on the presence and importance of pain associated with psoriasis.

MINERAL BONE DENSITY AND VITAMIN D LEVELS IN PATIENTS WITH PSORIATIC ARTHRITIS.

The objective of this study was to explore the possible differences in bone mass density (BMD) and markers of bone metabolism between patients with psoriasis with concomitant psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and patients with psoriasis only (PV). A comparable sample of both types of patients were included in analysis. In all patients, vitamin D serum levels along with inflammatory markers and parathyroid hormone (PTH) were measured.

The COVID-19 Pandemic and Recent Earthquake in Zagreb Together Significantly Increased the Disease Severity of Patients with Atopic Dermatitis.

Background/objective: Stress may affect patients with atopic dermatitis (AD). The aim of this study was to examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the earthquake in Zagreb, Croatia (March 2020), on AD patients and their disease severity, symptoms/itch, and perceived stress.

Methods: Our observational cross-sectional study included three groups of AD patients diagnosed by a physician: group 1 (n = 50), who experienced both the pandemic (quarantine) and the earthquake; group 2 (n = 50), who experienced only the pandemic; and group 3 (n = 50), the comparison group, who experienced neither disaster (patients examined 2018-2019).

Ethical, legal, and social considerations of AI-based medical decision-support tools: A scoping review.

Introduction: Recent developments in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) applied to healthcare promise to solve many of the existing global issues in advancing human health and managing global health challenges. This comprehensive review aims not only to surface the underlying ethical and legal but also social implications (ELSI) that have been overlooked in recent reviews while deserving equal attention in the development stage, and certainly ahead of implementation in healthcare. It is intended to guide various stakeholders (eg.

Atopic Dermatitis Severity, Patient Perception of the Disease, and Personality Characteristics: How Are They Related to Quality of Life?

Introduction: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, relapsing inflammatory skin condition that greatly affects patients' quality of life, psychological condition, and social relationships.

Materials And Methods: To analyze different aspects of AD patients' quality of life, we used the SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) index (for AD severity), the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), the World Health Organization Quality of Life Brief Version (WHOQOL-BREF), the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (Brief IPQ), and the Crown-Crisp Experiential Index (CCEI) to analyze personality traits. The study included 84 AD patients, 42 with clinical manifestations and 42 in remission.

Topical benzoyl peroxide for acne.

Background: Acne is a common, economically burdensome condition that can cause psychological harm and, potentially, scarring. Topical benzoyl peroxide (BPO) is a widely used acne treatment; however, its efficacy and safety have not been clearly evaluated.

Objectives: To assess the effects of BPO for acne.

Fas receptor induces apoptosis of synovial bone and cartilage progenitor populations and promotes bone loss in antigen-induced arthritis.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory joint disease that eventually leads to permanent bone and cartilage destruction. Fas has already been established as the regulator of inflammation in RA, but its role in bone formation under arthritic conditions is not completely defined. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of Fas inactivation on the bone damage during murine antigen-induced arthritis.

Inflammatory epidermolysis bullosa acquisita in a 4-year-old girl.

This study presents a case of linear immunoglobulin A dermatosis-like epidermolysis bullosa acquisita in a 4-year-old girl showing rapid, widespread and inflammatory skin lesions. The diagnosis was confirmed by histopathology, direct and indirect immunofluorescence, various immunoblotting analyses and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Despite the severe clinical manifestations, the disease was successfully controlled by combination therapy of oral prednisolone and dapsone.
