The presence of congenitally impaired skin barrier followed by atopic dermatitis (AD) is an initial step in the atopic march. The maintenance of acidic pH in the stratum corneum (SC) has been suggested as a therapeutic or preventive strategy for barrier impairment caused by skin inflammation. To determine whether an AD murine model, flaky tail mice, with inherited filaggrin deficiency could develop airway inflammation by repeated topical application followed by nasal inhalation of house dust mite (HDM) antigen (defined as a novel "atopic march animal model"), and whether maintenance of an acidic SC environment by continuous application of acidic cream could interrupt the following atopic march. During the course of HDM treatment, acidic cream (pH2.8) or neutral cream (pH7.4) was applied to flaky tail mice twice daily. Repeated applications and inhalations of HDM to flaky tail mice induced AD skin lesions followed by respiratory allergies. Maintenance of SC acidity inhibited the occurrence of respiratory allergic inflammation as well as AD-like skin lesions. Collectively, a novel atopic march model could be developed by repeated epicutaneous and nasal applications of HDM to flaky tail mice, and that the acidification of SC could prevent the atopic march from AD to respiratory allergy.

Background: Adverse events (AE) in dupilumab-induced ocular surface diseases (DIOSD) have raised concerns regarding its safety. The objective of this study was to evaluate DIOSD by employing database analysis and clinical case review, along with mechanism analysis.

Research Design And Methods: Database AE data were extracted from FAERS from 2017 Quarter 1 (Q1) to 2023 Q1.

Background: Asthma, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, and food allergy are type 2 inflammation diseases. Since the 1960s, the prevalence of those diseases has steadily increased, presumably due to the "Hygiene hypothesis" which suggests that early exposure of infants to pathogens, siblings, and environmental dust, has a protective effect against the development of allergic diseases. The COVID-19 pandemic increased environmental hygiene due to lockdowns, masks, and social distancing.

Background: Identification of predictive biomarkers is crucial for formulating preventive interventions and halting the progression of atopic march. Although controversial, the use of accessible markers to predict or detect early onset of atopic diseases is highly desirable. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate whether corneal squamous cell carcinoma antigen-1 (SCCA1) collected from infants can predict the development of atopic dermatitis and food allergy.

A 33-year-old Japanese man with a history of atopic dermatitis and asthma had never been diagnosed with any apparent glucose intolerance but had been aware of palpitations for >10 years. A 75g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) at his physical examination in March 2021 revealed fasting hyperglycemia and post-load hypoglycemia. An OGTT recheck was performed in May 2021 and was normal.

Dermatology in Student-Run Clinics in the United States: Scoping Review.

JMIR Dermatol

December 2024

Department of Dermatology, Lewis Katz School of Medicine, Temple University, 225 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA, 19106, United States, 1 215-482-7546.

Article Synopsis
  • Student-run clinics (SRCs) for dermatology have potential to improve health equity in skin-related issues, and a comprehensive analysis of these clinics can help enhance their effectiveness.
  • A scoping review was conducted to gather and analyze literature on dermatology SRCs in the U.S. by systematically searching databases and screening relevant studies.
  • The review identified at least 19 dermatology SRCs, highlighting common skin conditions treated, such as atopic dermatitis, acne, and psoriasis, and examined various factors like clinic logistics and barriers to care.
