Comorbidity and Therapeutic Approaches in Patients with Necrobiosis Lipoidica
Conclusion: Therapeutic options were chosen individually in accordance with the severity of NL and presence of ulceration. Topical calcineurin inhibitors, systemic application of fumaric acid esters, and dapsone represent effective alternatives to the use of steroids.Dermatology (Source: Dermatology)

Off-Label Use and Safety of Drug Use in Vascular Anomalies
Conclusions: Off-label drug use in VA is the rule and not the exception. Significant safety concerns are common. It is necessary to carefully weigh risk and benefits for every patient when using systemic and local treatments carrying safety concerns. Patients should be openly informed and involved in the decision-making process.Dermatology (Source: Dermatology)

Temporal Variation in < b > < i > Staphylococcus aureus < /i > < /b > Protein A Genotypes from Nose and Skin in Atopic Dermatitis Patients
Conclusion:S. aureus strains in AD are highly heterogeneous between patients. The majority of patients carry the samespa-type in the nose and skin without temporal variation, suggesting clonal colonization within individual patients. No predominantspa-type or temporal variation is associated with increased disease severity.Dermatology (Source: Dermatology)

Melanoma of the Nail Apparatus: An Analysis of Patients ’ Survival and Associated Factors
Conclusion: Primary tumor location in the hand and lower tumor thickness might be correlated with better patients ’ survival. The study results suggest that total amputation might not be necessary in all NAM cases.Dermatology (Source: Dermatology)

The Usefulness of Dermoscopy for the Recognition of Malignant Collision Tumors
Conclusions: The diagnosis of MCT can be assisted and clarified by dermoscopy. However, many of these lesions manifest complex morphologies and continue to be challenging, even for experts on dermoscopy. Atypical, uncertain, or non-classifiable lesions still need a complete excision for the final diagnosis.Dermatology (Source: Dermatology)

Mucosal Respiratory Syndrome: A Systematic Literature Review
Background:Mycoplasma pneumoniae atypical pneumonia is frequently associated with erythema multiforme. Occasionally, a mycoplasma infection does not trigger any cutaneous but exclusively mucosal lesions. The term mucosal respiratory syndrome is employed to denote the latter condition. Available reviews do not address the possible association of mucosal respiratory syndrome with further atypical bacterial pathogens such asChlamydophila pneumoniae,Chlamydophila psittaci,Coxiella burnetii,Francisella tularensis, orLegionella species. We therefore performed a systematic review of the literature addressing this issue in the Nat...

Implementing Medical Chatbots: An Application on Hidradenitis Suppurativa
Conclusions: A medical chatbot has to be customised to the specific subject whilst general principles have to be considered. High-quality information has to be available in just a few clicks. People concerned about HS are looking for a diagnosis online and often have not seen a doctor previously. Guidance towards appropriate care should be provided.Dermatology (Source: Dermatology)

Biological Therapies for Atopic Dermatitis: A Systematic Review
Conclusion: The biological therapies with the most robust evidence on efficacy and long-term safety for AD treatment include dupilumab, barcitinib, abrocitinib, and delgocitinib. Most of the biologics mentioned in this review were still at the exploratory stage. This review will help practitioners advise patients seeking suitable biological therapies and offer experimental study directions for treatment.Dermatology (Source: Dermatology)
