Basing on the findings of fiber gastroscopy, used in examinations of 262 patients with neurodermatitis, the authors describe the so-called "minor endoscopic signs", i.e. enhanced gastric peristalsis, pyloric spasm, hypersecretion, duodenogastric reflux. These signs are diagnostically and prognostically significant for the treatment and rehabilitation of neurodermatitis patients.

This article is an abridged version of the updated AWMF mould guideline "Medical clinical diagnostics in case of indoor mould exposure - Update 2023", presented in July 2023 by the German Society of Hygiene, Environmental Medicine and Preventive Medicine (Gesellschaft für Hygiene, Umweltmedizin und Präventivmedizin, GHUP), in collaboration with German and Austrian scientific medical societies, and experts. Indoor mould growth is a potential health risk, even if a quantitative and/or causal relationship between the occurrence of individual mould species and health problems has yet to be established. There is no evidence for a causal relationship between moisture/mould damage and human diseases, mainly because of the ubiquitous presence of fungi and hitherto inadequate diagnostic methods.

Zhengzhou University People's Hospital, Zhengzhou, China.
Article Synopsis
- Lichenoid vulvar dermatoses (LVD) are inflammatory conditions that affect the vulva and anus, and this study explores skin changes in patients with LVD using high-frequency ultrasound.
- The study involved 45 LVD patients categorized into vulvar lichen sclerosus (VLS) and vulvar lichen simplex chronicus (VLSC) groups, along with a control group of healthy women, measuring various skin thicknesses and vascularity.
- Results showed increased skin thickness and vascular indices in LVD patients compared to controls, with high-frequency ultrasound proving useful for evaluating LVD and identifying allergic diseases as a significant risk factor for VLS.

Article Synopsis
- Prurigo nodularis (PN) is a chronic skin condition causing severe itching, and this study aimed to assess its impact on healthcare costs and resource use in Italy.
- The research analyzed data from 295 hospitalized PN patients and matched them with 590 non-PN individuals, revealing significant differences in comorbidities and healthcare resource consumption over a one-year follow-up period.
- PN patients had much higher healthcare costs, averaging €3847 compared to €711 for non-PN controls, primarily due to increased medication prescriptions, hospitalizations, and outpatient services.
