One of the most affected aspects of the aging process is immunity, with age-related immune system decline being responsible for an increase in susceptibility to infectious diseases and cancer risk. On the other hand, the aging process is accompanied with low-grade pro-inflammatory status. This condition involves a persistent rise in cytokine levels that can activate both innate and adaptive immune systems. Finally, despite the fact that immunological responses to antigenic stimulations decrease with age, the incidence and prevalence of many common autoimmune diseases increase in the elderly population. Overall, the co-existence of a prolonged, low-grade inflammatory status and declining immune activity appears to be a paradoxical phenomenon. This study characterized skin inflammation in mouse dermatitis model of various ages to monitor possible changes of inflammatory responses during aging.

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a disease of multifactorial etiology that affects the quality of life of those afflicted.
Objective: The degree of control of patients with AD over 12 years of age was determined with the Atopic Dermatitis Control Instrument (ADCT).
Material And Methods: This observational, cross-sectional, descriptive study included patients with AD who were evaluated with a self-administered instrument, the ADCT.

Eczema and dermatitis are common inflammatory skin conditions with significant morbidity. Identifying drug-targetable genes can facilitate the development of effective treatments. This study analyzed data obtained by meta-analysis of 2 genome-wide association studies on eczema/dermatitis (57,311 cases and 896,779 controls, European ancestry).

There is a reported association between oral contact allergy and oral lichen planus (OLP). Likewise oral squamous cell carcinoma (oSCC) is associated with OLP. It is hypothesized that chronic inflammation may contribute to oSCC risk.

Background: Topical steroids are widely used in dermatology for their anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects, but misuse can cause skin thinning and systemic issues. In Ethiopia, where skin conditions are common, understanding how topical steroids are prescribed and used is essential for ensuring their safe and effective use.
Objective: The study aimed to assess topical steroids' prescription and utilization pattern in Dessie Comprehensive Specialized Hospital (DCSH) from February 1 to May 30, 2024.
