Background: Psoriasiform dermatitis can be defined both clinically and histologically, but is not a traditionally recognized clinical or histologic diagnosis.
Objective: Analyze the final clinical diagnosis, demographics and clinical characteristics in patients with histologic psoriasiform dermatitis.
Methods: Retrospective cross-sectional analysis of patients with histologic psoriasiform dermatitis 2004-2017.

Task-shared psychological interventions are effective for reducing the severity of depression symptoms, but differences in treatment outcome by socioeconomic status is uncertain. This study examines socioeconomic inequalities (SEI) in depression outcomes among people with HIV and/or diabetes who participated in a cluster randomised controlled trial in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. The trial took place at 24 primary care clinics randomised to deliver a task-shared psychological intervention or treatment as usual (TAU).

Prokaryotes (Bacteria and Archaea) encode a highly diversified arsenal of defence systems that protect them against mobile genetic elements, such as phages and plasmids. In turn, mobile genetic elements encode anti-defence systems that allow them to escape the activity of these defence systems. This has resulted in an evolutionary arms race in which defence systems and anti-defence systems evolve and adapt continuously, driving intriguing innovation and enormous diversification on both sides.

Background And Objectives: The optimal iron hypothesis (OIH) posits that risk for infection is lowest at a mild level of iron deficiency. The extent to which this protection results from arms race dynamics in the evolution of iron acquisition and sequestration mechanisms is unclear. We evaluated the OIH with regard to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), an emerging infectious agent.

The maternal-fetal interface has long been considered as a frontier for an evolutionary arms race due to the close juxtaposition of genetically distinct tissues. In hemochorial species with deep placental invasion, including in humans, maternal stroma prepares its defenses against deep trophoblast invasion by decidualization, a differentiation process characterized by increased stromal cell matrix production, and contractile force generation. Decidualization has evolved from an ancestral wound healing response of fibroblast activation by the endometrial stroma.
