One hundred patients participated in the studies of cutaneous candidiasis and steroid-responsive dermatoses. Seventy patients with the former diagnosis were treated with either halcinonide-neomycin-amphotericin or hydrocortisone-iodochlorhydroxyquin ointment combinations on a double-blind parallel comparison basis. Similar results were obtained after both therapies. Thirty patients with symmetrical bilateral lesions of steroid-responsive dermatoses were treated with halcinonide-neomycin-amphotericin cream on the lesions on one side of the body and hydrocortisone-iodochlorhydroxyquin cream on the opposite side. A double-blind design was used in directly comparing the response to each of the two drugs. Considering the results of all dermatoses together the test combination was statistically superior to the control cream (p less than 0-05). However, while numerical superiority of good responses to the halcinonide combination was recorded in psoriasis, no statistical significance could be derived due to the limited number of cases. No side-effects occurred with any drug combination use. In the opinion of the authors halcinonide-neomycin-amphotericin cream and ointment are safe and effective in the treatment of cutaneous candiasis and steroid-responsive dermatoses.

Background/purpose: Vasculitis as an immune-related adverse event (irAE) from checkpoint inhibitor therapy (ICI) to treat cancer is a rare clinical event, and little is known regarding its nosology, clinical manifestations, or response to treatment and outcomes.
Methods: To address these gaps, we used the Preferred Reporting Items for Systemic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) framework to further define this complication. Two independent PUBMED searches in September and November of 2022 revealed 127 publications with 37 excluded from title by relevance, 43 excluded by article type, and 23 excluded due to lack of biopsy results, or biopsy negative for vasculitis.
Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis Presenting as Steroid-Responsive Sclerosing Cholangitis and Cholecystitis: A Rare Case Report.

BACKGROUND Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a rare systemic vasculitic condition characterized by bronchial asthma and eosinophilia. While biliary involvement is uncommon in EGPA, we present a unique case of EGPA presenting as steroid-responsive sclerosing cholangitis and cholecystitis. This case highlights the importance of considering EGPA in the differential diagnosis of biliary diseases, especially in patients with a history of bronchial asthma.

Since the 1970s, intramuscular triamcinolone (IMT) has been available as an option for systemic corticosteroid use in dermatology. Although shown to be safe and effective in early studies, this method of systemic corticosteroid delivery fell out of favor in the 1980s in many United States residency programs. To identify factors associated with US dermatologists' preferences for and use of IMT we surveyed a random sample of US board-certified dermatologists to assess knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding IMT in dermatologists' daily clinical practice.
