Vitamin D and skin cancer: a controversial society. Literature update and review
Actas Dermosifiliogr. 2024 Mar 29:S0001-7310(24)00265-5. doi: 10.1016/j.ad.2024.03.019. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTVitamin D (VD) deficiency has been associated with various tumors. However, the association between VD and skin cancer is controversial. Although in non-melanoma skin cancer, adequate or even high levels of VD can be associated with a higher risk of developing tumors, this could be biased by the direct association between sun exposure and VD levels. Regarding melanoma, results are contradictory. Most studies analyzed state that higher levels of VD could reduce the risk of melanoma, be associated with melano...

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCurrently, ulcerative sexually transmitted infections, including syphilis, herpes simplex virus (HSV), lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV), chancroid, donovanosis and, more recently, monkeypox (MPOX), represent a growing challenge for health care professionals. The incidence of syphilis and LGV has increased in recent years in Spain. Additionally, HSV, syphilis and chancroid can also increase the risk of HIV acquisition and transmission. The population groups most vulnerable to these infections are young people,...

52-week mid-term efficacy of tildrakizumab in moderate-to-severe psoriasis: a real-life multicenter experience
Actas Dermosifiliogr. 2024 Mar 29:S0001-7310(24)00276-X. doi: 10.1016/j.ad.2023.08.019. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTildrakizumab is an IL-23-inhibitor that has been approved to treat plaque psoriasis. However, few reports have become available on its efficacy profile in the real-world. Our objective was to study the mid-term efficacy of tildrakizumab in patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis in the Spanish routine clinical practice setting. This was a retrospective multicenter study that included a total of 91 psoriatic patients on tildrakizumab. The mean Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) was 9.09 (SD, 5.30)....

Dermoscopy of squamous cell carcinoma: from actinic keratosis to invasive forms
Actas Dermosifiliogr. 2024 Mar 29:S0001-7310(24)00270-9. doi: 10.1016/j.ad.2024.03.023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWhen performing the dermoscopy of squamous cell carcinoma and its precursors we differentiate among keratin-related, vascular, and pigment-related criteria. Non-pigmented actinic keratoses are characterized by the "strawberry pattern". Pigmented actinic keratosis shows a significant dermatoscopic overlap with lentigo maligna, but the presence of pigmented scales, erythema, and prominent follicles favors its diagnosis. Bowen's disease is characterized by clustered glomerular vessels, white-yellowish scales, ...

Bioethical conflicts in current dermatology: a narrative review
The objective of this narrative review is to identify the bioethical conflicts of everyday dermatology practice and highlight the proposed solutions. Therefore, we conducted searches across PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus databases. Also, the main Spanish and American deontological codes of physicians and dermatologists have been revised. The authors recommend declaring all conflicts of interest while respecting the patients' autonomy, confidentiality, and privacy. Cosmetic dermatology, cosmetic selling, artificial intelligence, tele-dermatology, and social media are feasible as long as the same standards of conventional...

Computational model based on optical coherence tomography (OCT) skin scanning to identify and quantify acute radiation dermatitis (ARD): a prospective diagnostic study
CONCLUSION: an OCT computational model allowed for the identification and quantification of vascularization changes on irradiated skin, even in the absence of clinical ARD. This may allow the design of standardized protocols for ARD beyond the skin color of the patients involved.PMID:38554749 | DOI:10.1016/j.ad.2024.03.017 (Source: Actas Dermo-Sifiliograficas)

Longitudinal Study of Different Progression Patterns in High-Risk Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma
CONCLUSIONS: The mortality of patients with cSCC is mostly due to the regional progression of their lymphatic metastases. The appearance of distant metastases is practically always (96.9%) associated with previous lymphatic metastatic progression. Therefore, in the future, new studies will be needed to assess the regional management of cSCC in both surgical and adjuvant therapies.PMID:38554750 | DOI:10.1016/j.ad.2024.03.018 (Source: Actas Dermo-Sifiliograficas)
