Background: Immunosuppressed organ-transplant recipients have an increased incidence of, and mortality from, skin cancer. Nicotinamide (vitamin B) enhances the repair of ultraviolet (UV) radiation-induced DNA damage, reduces the cutaneous immunosuppressive effects of UV radiation, and reduces the incidence of keratinocyte cancers (including squamous-cell and basal-cell carcinomas) and actinic keratoses among high-risk immunocompetent patients. Whether oral nicotinamide is useful for skin-cancer chemoprevention in organ-transplant recipients is unclear.

- Segmental infantile hemangiomas on the upper body are linked to PHACE(S) syndrome, while those on the lower body indicate LUMBAR syndrome.
- The study presents two cases with characteristics of both syndromes, revealing an overlap in symptoms.
- This overlap suggests that PHACE and LUMBAR syndromes may share a similar underlying developmental cause.
Background: Solid organ transplant recipients (SOTR) are at high risk of keratinocyte carcinoma (KC). Long-term evidence for acitretin as chemoprophylaxis in this population is lacking.
Objective: To determine the benefit of long-term acitretin for KC chemoprevention in SOTR.
Background: Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is an increasingly common diagnosis in children. The objectives of this study were to review our experience with ACD in children in tertiary settings, to ascertain the spectrum of allergens in this population and to subsequently propose the first Australian Paediatric Baseline Series for patch testing.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of patch test data from 1993 to 2017 from two tertiary referral patch-testing centres in Melbourne, Victoria.
Outcome Measurement Instruments for Provoked Vulvodynia: A Systematic Review.

October 2018
Objective: The objective of this study was to detail the outcome measurement instruments used in randomized control trials and observational studies investigating therapeutic interventions for provoked vulvodynia.
Materials And Methods: We searched Ovid Medline, Embase, Emcare, and PyschINFO libraries from database inception through April 2017. We included randomized control trials and observational studies of provoked vulvodynia that used instruments to measure the outcome of therapeutic interventions.
