Background And Aims: The study aimed to examine parental, longitudinal and current associative factors for atopic dermatitis (AD) and to compare those to other atopic diseases in 46-year-old adults.
Methods: Questionnaire data from the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 study were used. To analyze allergic sensitization, skin prick tests ( = 5373) were performed for birch, timothy, cat, and house dust mite at age 46.
Results: Maternal (odds ratio [OR] 1.81; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.25-2.59) and paternal allergy (OR 2.54; CI 1.76-3.64), sensitization to any of the four tested aeroallergens (OR 1.56; CI 1.04-2.30) as well as polysensitization (OR 3.04; CI 2.10-4.37) were associated with current AD. Living on a farm in infancy was negatively associated with allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, and atopic multimorbidity. Current AD (OR 2.65; CI 1.44-4.60) and all atopic diseases associated with indoor air related symptoms. Current AD associated with other atopic diseases, most strongly with allergic rhinitis (OR 4.92; CI 3.92-6.22).
Conclusion: Current AD in a 46-year-old general population occurred frequently with allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, and asthma in the Northern Finland Birth Cohort study 1966. Parental allergy and sensitization to common aeroallergens were found as shared associative factors for AD, allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, and asthma. AD and other atopic diseases associated with symptoms related to poor indoor air quality. In daily practice, it is important to take these comorbidities into consideration when treating patients with AD.

A niche in the context of microorganisms defines the specific ecological role or habitat inhabited by microbial species within an ecosystem. For the human commensal Malassezia, the skin surface is considered its primary niche, where it adapts to the skin environment by utilising lipids as its main carbon and energy source. However pathogenic characteristics of Malassezia include the production of allergens, immune modulation and excessive lipid utilisation, which result in several diseases such as pityriasis versicolor, seborrheic dermatitis, Malassezia folliculitis and atopic dermatitis.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a disease that significantly impacts the quality of life of patients. Although there are multiple evidence-based guidelines, they are usually aimed at providing recommendations to AD specialists rather than primary care physicians (PCPs). The aim of this study was to construct a consensus document for PCPs, with the aim of presenting evidence-based recommendations that allow general practitioners, family physicians, pediatricians, internists and emergency physicians to provide appropriate care to AD patients, facilitating their diagnosis, management, and avoiding delays that can deteriorate patients' f quality of life.

Background: An increasing body of evidence has suggested that the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is not confined to the neurons but instead that neuroinflammation plays a significant role in the disease, with an interplay between the brain and the immune system. So far, their shared genetic components have not been systematically studied.
Method: We investigated the shared genetic architecture between AD and a plethora of immune-mediated diseases using the genome-wide association studies (GWAS) summary statistics data: allergic rhinitis, asthma, atopic dermatitis, celiac disease, Crohn's disease, hypothyroidism, primary sclerosing cholangitis, RA, systemic lupus erythematosus, ulcerative colitis, and vitiligo.
Patterns of Addiction in Chronic Skin Diseases: A Comparative Analysis of Addictions and Influencing Factors in Atopic Dermatitis and Psoriasis.

Addictions seem to be more frequent in atopic dermatitis and psoriasis patients than in the general population. This cross-sectional observational study comparatively evaluated substance-related and behavioural addictions in atopic dermatitis and psoriasis patients and analysed possible addiction patterns. From October 2023 to April 2024, 100 atopic dermatitis and 104 psoriasis patients at a German university hospital completed an anonymous questionnaire, including sociodemographic and health-related parameters, along with validated assessment tools for common addictions (smoking, gambling, alcohol, drugs, food, and internet).

Nagashima-type palmoplantar keratosis (NPPK) has been shown to represent a form of autosomal recessive palmoplantar keratosis due to biallelic pathological variants of SERPINB7, which encodes a serine protease inhibitor expressed in the epidermis. Approximately 10 years have elapsed since NPPK was demonstrated to be an independent genetic disease, and the most prevalent palmoplantar keratoderma (PPK) in East Asian countries due to a high prevalence of founder mutations in SERPINB7. Since then, it has become evident that biallelic pathological variants of SERPINA12, which encodes a serine protease inhibitor expressed in the epidermis, can also manifest symptoms analogous to those of NPPK.
