Article Synopsis
  • Atopic dermatitis (AD) greatly affects patients' quality of life, and existing guidelines often target specialists instead of primary care physicians (PCPs).
  • A study aimed to create a consensus document specifically for PCPs, offering evidence-based recommendations to enhance AD patient diagnosis and management.
  • The document identifies obstacles PCPs face in implementing guidelines and provides consensus solutions to improve care for AD patients across different medical specialties.

Background: When human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched donors are not available for hematopoietic stem cell transplants (HSCT), there are no well-accepted guidelines for ranking 7/8 HLA-matched unrelated donors to achieve optimal transplant outcomes. A novel scoring system for ranking HLA mismatches for these donors was investigated.

Methods: High-resolution HLA types were used to determine amino acid mismatches located in the HLA antigen-recognition domain.

We previously demonstrated that the lungs of deceased COVID-19 patients were filled with a clear hydrogel consisting of hyaluronan (HA). In this translational study, we investigated the role of HA at all stages of COVID-19 disease to map the consequences of elevated HA on morbidity and identify the mechanism of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-induced HA production. A reduced alveolar surface area was observed in the lungs of deceased COVID-19 patients compared to healthy controls, as visualized by a 3D rendering of lung morphology using light-sheet fluorescence microscopy.

Background: Hyaluronidase is an ubiquitous enzyme, present, among others, in hymenoptera venom and in medical formulations. The latter include use as an emergency treatment or to correct undesired outcomes of medical and aesthetic procedures using hyaluronic acid fillers.

Objectives: By performing detailed allergy work-ups including skin-prick tests (SPTs) we investigated whether patients with a history of allergic reaction to hymenoptera venom are also sensitized to medical grade hyaluronidase.

We report a case of a 69-year-old woman with pleural mesothelioma presenting in the posterior mediastinum with a maximum diameter of 25 cm. She had a chronic cough and a pleural effusion was noted on chest X-ray. The examination of the effusion showed high hyaluronic acid levels, and mesothelioma was suspected.
