A nationwide skin protection program introduced in hairdressing vocational schools was followed by a decreased risk of occupational hand eczema.

Background: Compliance with glove use and safe work practices are important factors in primary prevention of occupational hand eczema (OHE) in hairdressers.

Objective: To assess the risk OHE and compliance with skin protective measures in hairdressers trained before and after implementation of a nationwide skin protection program in Danish hairdressing vocational schools in 2011.

Methods: A repeated cross-sectional study was performed.

Plasminogen Deficiency and Amiloride Mitigate Angiotensin II-Induced Hypertension in Type 1 Diabetic Mice Suggesting Effects Through the Epithelial Sodium Channel.

Background Diabetic nephropathy is a common diabetes mellitus complication associated with hypertension, proteinuria, and excretion of urinary plasmin that activates the epithelial sodium channel, ENaC, . Here we hypothesized that the deletion of plasminogen and amiloride treatment protect against hypertension in diabetes mellitus. Methods and Results Male plasminogen knockout (plasminogen-deficient [Plg]) and wild-type mice were rendered diabetic with streptozotocin.

[Allergic contact dermatitis caused by insulin pumps and glucose monitors in children with diabetes].

Insulin pump therapy and the use of flash or continuous glucose monitoring in children is increasing. The diabetes devices are attached to the skin for several days to weeks with a strong adhesive, and recently, several cases of allergic contact dermatitis in children caused by components of the adhesive have been reported. In this review, we discuss such problems.
