A Multicenter Randomized Double-Blind Vehicle-Controlled Parallel Group Phase 2 Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of GN-037 Cream in Patients with Mild-to-Moderate Plaque Psoriasis.

Introduction: Topical therapies are used in almost all patients with psoriasis. A novel fixed topical combination cream (GN-037) with a lower concentration (0.0356%) of clobetasol 17-propionate (CP) was developed together with urea, salicylic acid, and retinoic acid to provide a better benefit-risk ratio.

Clinical features and natural course of Hidradenitis Suppurativa in Turkey: a multicentre study.

Introduction: The natural history, the progression of a disease process in an individual over time, has not yet been fully elucidated in hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). In this large multicenter study, we aimed to investigate the natural history of HS and its gender differences.

Methods: This cross sectional study included 827 patients.

The relationship between TNF-α, IL-1, IL-12, IL-17, IL-23, IL-36 expression and treatment response in psoriasis histopathologically and immunohistochemically.

Aim: There is no marker that can predict whether there is resistance to treatment in patients with psoriasis. In this study, we investigated the relationship between the staining rates of TNF-α, IL-1, IL-12, IL-17, IL-23, and IL-36 markers immunohistochemically from cutaneous biopsy and the treatment success.

Methods: The patients who were followed up in the dermatology clinic with the diagnosis of plaque-type psoriasis vulgaris and received biological treatment and previously had cutaneous biopsy were included in the study.

Oxidative Stress-Related miRNAs in Patients with Severe Acne Vulgaris.

Background: Acne vulgaris is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease in adolescents and oxidative stress plays an important role in acne pathology. However, the pathology of acne has not yet been fully elucidated. miRNAs are small noncoding RNAs, and there is increasing evidence for their role in the pathogenesis of skin diseases such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and other inflammatory diseases.

Demodex prevalence in mine, textile and food factory workers with dermatosis: a cross-sectional, multicenter study.

Demodex, a type of mite, lives in human hair follicles. They can multiply very quickly in some conditions and then start to irritate the skin by causing skin disorders. This study aims to investigate if working environment conditions affect the prevalence of Demodex.

Internalized Stigma in Hidradenitis Suppurativa: A Multicenter Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) causes significant physical, social, and psychological burdens. Internalized stigma, acceptance of negative attitudes and stereotypes of society regarding a person's illness, has not been studied previously in HS.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to investigate the internalized stigma state of HS patients and identify the factors affecting it.

The effect of COVID-19 on development of hair and nail disorders: a Turkish multicenter, controlled study.

Background: A broad spectrum of skin diseases, including hair and nails, can be directly or indirectly triggered by COVID-19. It is aimed to examine the type and frequency of hair and nail disorders after COVID-19 infection.

Methods: This is a multicenter study conducted on consecutive 2171 post-COVID-19 patients.

Cutaneous reactions after COVID-19 vaccination in Turkey: A multicenter study.

Objectives: In this study covering all of Turkey, we aimed to define cutaneous and systemic adverse reactions in our patient population after COVID-19 vaccination with the Sinovac/CoronaVac (inactivated SARS-CoV-2) and Pfizer/BioNTech (BNT162b2) vaccines.

Methods: This prospective, cross-sectional study included individuals presenting to the dermatology or emergency outpatient clinics of a total of 19 centers after having been vaccinated with the COVID-19 vaccines. Systemic, local injection site, and non-local cutaneous reactions after vaccination were identified, and their rates were determined.

Treatment of keratosis pilaris rubra with 577-nm pro-yellow laser.

Objective: Keratosis pilaris rubra (KPR) is a rare group of idiopathic hereditary disorders of keratinization, and it is considered as variants of keratosis pilaris. It is characterized by a well-defined erythema and small, keratotic follicular papules that are seen on the cheeks and preauricular area. Keratosis pilaris rubra is an aesthetically distressed situation, and especially vascular erythema is the most common complaint.

SARS-CoV-2 vaccination-induced cutaneous vasculitis: Report of two new cases and literature review.

Currently the most powerful tool in combating the COVID-19 pandemic is vaccination against SARS-CoV-2. A growing percentage of the world's population is being vaccinated. Various vaccines are worldwide on the market.

Does omalizumab use in chronic spontaneous urticaria results in improvement in sexual functions?

Background: Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is a disease that can affect the patient's quality of life (QoL), sexual functions, and mood.

Objective: We planned a retrospective study to investigate the effects of omalizumab use in CSU patients on sexual function. We also aimed to evaluate the sexual function, quality of life (QoL), and mood of CSU patients compared to the control group consisting of idiopathic pruritus patients.

Dapsone for the treatment of acne vulgaris: do the risks outweigh the benefits?

Dapsone is a "4,4'-diamino diphenyl sulfone" compound and an aniline derivative from synthetic sulphones. Sulphonamides were first used in humans as antimicrobial agents to treat streptococcal infections. Dapsone derived from sulphonamides was first used in the treatment of leprosy in 1940.

Cutaneous and Allergic reactions due to COVID-19 vaccinations: A review.

Introduction: The pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has had an unprecedented impact on the overall health and the global economy. Vaccination is currently the most dependable strategy to end the pandemic, despite the slower-than-hoped-for rollout, particularly for low-to-middle-income countries, and the uncertain duration of protection afforded by vaccination. The spike protein of the virus (immunodominant antigen of the virus) is the main target of the approved and candidate SARS-CoV-2 vaccines.

Histopathological comparison of pathergy positive and negative areas of newly diagnosed Behçet patients.

Background: Behcet's disease is an inflammatory vasculitis, and pathergy reaction is a compulsory element of the diagnostic criteria. In the literature, there is no study comparing the histopathology of negative pathergy tests and positive pathergy tests in newly diagnosed Behcet's patients. The primary goal was to investigate the frequency of vasculitis, which is an important finding of Behcet's disease, in pathergy histopathology.
