Identification of Risk Factors for Gliptin-associated Bullous Pemphigoid among Diabetic Patients
This study aimed at identifying risk factors for gliptin-associated bullous pemphigoid among patients with type 2 diabetes. A retrospective study was conducted in a tertiary centre among diabetic patients exposed to gliptins between the years 2008-2021. Data including demographics, comorbidities, medications, and laboratory results were collected using the MDClone platform. Seventy-six patients with type 2 diabetes treated with dipeptidyl-peptidase 4 inhibitors who subsequently developed bullous pemphigoid were compared with a cohort of 8,060 diabetic patients exposed to dipeptidyl-peptidase 4 inhibitors who did not develo...

Results of Mohs' Micrographic Surgery of Periocular Basal Cell Carcinoma: The Swedish Experience
Acta Derm Venereol. 2024 Apr 2;104:15765. doi: 10.2340/actadv.v104.15765.ABSTRACTThe Department of Ophthalmology, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, has until recently been the only eye clinic in the Nordic countries to perform Mohs' micrographic surgery of basal cell carcinoma. This has led to the practice of only the most complicated basal cell carcinomas being operated on with this technique. The purpose of this study was to present the results of these surgeries in patients with at least 5 years of follow-up. A retrospective study of all patients operated upon in 2010-2015 was performed. Data were gathered from their med...

Effects of Psychological Stress on Spontaneous Itch and Mechanical Alloknesis of Atopic Dermatitis
Acta Derm Venereol. 2024 Apr 2;104:adv18685. doi: 10.2340/actadv.v104.18685.ABSTRACTAtopic dermatitis (AD), a chronic inflammatory skin disease, manifests as an intractable itch. Psychological stress has been suggested to play a role in the onset and worsening of AD symptoms. However, the pathophysiological relationships between psychological stressors and cutaneous manifestations remain unclear. To elucidate the mechanisms underlying the stress-related exacerbation of itch, we investigated the effects of water stress, restraint stress and repeated social defeat stress on itch-related scratching behaviour, mechanical allok...

A Qualitative Tool to Guide in the Interpretation of the Numerical Rating Scale for Pruritus Intensity in Patients with Atopic Dermatitis
Acta Derm Venereol. 2024 Apr 2;104:adv18255. doi: 10.2340/actadv.v104.18255.ABSTRACTAtopic dermatitis is a cutaneous inflammatory disease characterized by intense pruritus, which is often underestimated despite its direct impact on patients' health-related quality of life and the high burden it poses. The authors' goal was to design a qualitative tool to guide patients and healthcare professionals in their assessment and interpretation of pruritus intensity using a numerical rating scale. The draft of this tool, henceforth "guideline", was developed based on a systematic literature review and focus groups comprising patien...

Tolerability of Narrow-band Ultraviolet-B Phototherapy for Different Dermatological Diseases in Relation to Co-medications
Acta Derm Venereol. 2024 Apr 3;104:adv35215. doi: 10.2340/actadv.v104.35215.ABSTRACTPhototherapy is an efficient therapy for a variety of skin diseases. Various drugs can cause photosensitivity and impact tolerability of phototherapy. The tolerability was investigated of narrowband ultraviolet-B 311 nm therapy in dependence on the underlying disease and long-term co-medication. A total of 534 narrowband ultraviolet-B therapy courses were examined. Compared with psoriasis, adverse events were observed more frequently in eczematous diseases and, in some cases, other indications. About two-thirds of all courses were carried o...
