Background: Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is an inherited genodermatosis that results in mucocutaneous fragility. There is a lack of data on the impact of this disease on parents. There are no studies on the impact on siblings and few on healthcare professionals in dealing with this devastating disease.
Methods: A scoping review was performed using the Arksey and O'Malley and PRISMA-ScR framework. Twenty-seven articles were reviewed, and a data-charting sheet was formulated.
Results: Parents make great sacrifices and are resilient in caring for their sick children but are at risk of depression. Siblings play a vital role in caring for their siblings, but their needs may be overlooked because the main focus is on the sibling with EB. Healthcare professionals may suffer burnout and compassion fatigue in caring for patients and their families with EB.
Conclusion: Comprehensive care of the family and the awareness of the challenges experienced by healthcare professionals is essential to the holistic care of a patient with EB.

We conducted a large-scale disproportionality analysis of the urotoxicity of cyclophosphamide (CYC) and the related drug ifosfamide (IFO) using the US Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database, with data ranging from Q4 2012 to Q2 2024. We compared the reporting odds ratio (ROR) of various urotoxicity manifestations of CYC and IFO across patient populations being treated for antineoplastic, immunosuppressive, and transplantation indications. When a wide range of urotoxicity manifestations was aggregated, we found that transplant patients had an increased relative susceptibility to CYC urotoxicity.
