Carbohydrates play crucial roles in biological systems, including by mediating cell and protein interactions. The complexity and transient nature of carbohydrate-dependent interactions pose significant challenges for their characterization, as traditional techniques often fail to capture these low-affinity binding events. This review highlights the increasing utility of photocrosslinkers in studying carbohydrate-mediated interactions.

Upadacitinib is a systemic Janus kinase inhibitor currently approved for the treatment of atopic dermatitis. Many patients with atopic dermatitis have a concomitant diagnosis of allergic contact dermatitis. The utility of Janus kinase inhibitors for the treatment of allergic contact dermatitis and the effect on patch testing results remains unclear.

The clinical presentation of drug-induced psoriasis can vary, and although there are features suggestive of drug-induced psoriasis, there are currently no standardized criteria to differentiate it from conventional psoriasis. Patients may present with localized psoriasiform plaques, or variants such as palmoplantar, nail disease, or widespread erythroderma.

Methods: The work reported here was part of a broader investigation of how to adapt and implement a three-component combination intervention in a county health department in Mobile, Alabama. Based on pre-implementation efforts to assess local context and barriers to implementation, we first describe three approaches that can be effectively used to elucidate organizational routines and processes, followed by a description of how these approaches were applied in our study.
