Rarely, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α inhibitors can paradoxically induce eruptions of psoriasis with generalized pustular psoriasis being among the least common presentations. We report a patient who presented with a generalized pustular eruption following adalimumab therapy for hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). The diagnosis of generalized pustular psoriasis was confirmed with a biopsy showing neutrophilic spongiosis and intraepidermal pustulosis.

Background: Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition with a greater prevalence and disease burden in patients who identify as African American and those with a family history of HS, suggesting a strong genetic component to its pathogenesis.
Objective: To evaluate the relationship between plasma inflammatory protein expression, HS disease severity, and genetic ancestry in a diverse cohort of patients with Hidradenitis Suppurativa.
Methods: We performed a case-control study of patients with HS compared to age-, sex-, and ethnicity-matched healthy controls.

Moderate-to-severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a debilitating disease that often requires biological therapy. Despite the effectiveness of approved doses, some patients experience partial or loss of response over time, leading to the need for dose intensification. This retrospective multicentre study aimed to identify predictors of biological therapy intensification in HS patients.

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the axilla, inframammary folds, buttocks, inner thighs, and anogenital regions. Patients with moderate to severe HS often seek care in the emergency department and may require hospitalization; however, the lack of clear admission criteria and management guidelines presents significant challenges. To address these issues, we conducted a clinical review aimed at hospitalists and consulting dermatologists considering hospital admission for patients experiencing severe HS flares.

This study describes an intramolecular quenching assay to evaluate gamma-secretase (GS) enzyme activity in human dermal cells. The method utilizes a fluorogenic peptide substrate, mimicking a fragment of amyloid precursor protein (APP), in which a quencher suppresses the fluorescence of a fluorophore until enzymatic cleavage occurs, resulting in a measurable increase in fluorescence. This real-time, direct measurement of GS activity allows for precise kinetic analysis using Michaelis-Menten modeling to define Kd and Vmax.
