Neuromyelitis Optica and Skin
Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder is characterized by attacks of optic neuritis and/or longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis and the presence of anti-aquaporin-4 autoantibodies. Most relapses of neuromyelitis optica worsen over days and then slowly improve in the weeks or months after the maximum clinical deficit has been reached. However, recovery is usually incomplete. The diagnosis of the disease and attacks must be made as early as possible and require emergency treatment. Dermatologists can play a role in achieving this end. Neuropathic pruritus is common and can be used to diagnose neuromyelitis optica. H...

Application of the Statistical Method to Convert Published PASI 50/75/90/100 into Absolute PASI Response Rate in Patients with Moderate-to-Severe Plaque Psoriasis Treated with Tildrakizumab Based on Data from the Two Pivotal Phase 3 Studies reSURFACE 1 and reSURFACE 2
Conclusion: Good estimates of absolute PASI response rates were achieved with the application of the statistical method to tildrakizumab data reported in the phase 3 studies, in particular in the verum study arms. Our data support the method provided by Petto et al. [2019] to estimate proportions of psoriasis patients reaching absolute PASI value thresholds using relative PASI improvements.Dermatology (Source: Dermatology)

Radiotherapy as a Treatment Option for Local Disease Control in Primary Cutaneous Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma, Leg Type
Conclusion: RT as first-line monotherapy followed by watchful waiting did not significantly improve the overall risk of disease progression but resulted in good local disease control. After progression, RT could still easily be combined with systemic treatment. The strength of this analysis needs to be evaluated in a larger patient cohort.Dermatology (Source: Dermatology)

Validation of a Market-Approved Artificial Intelligence Mobile Health App for Skin Cancer Screening: A Prospective Multicenter Diagnostic Accuracy Study
Conclusion: The diagnostic accuracy of the mHealth app is far from perfect, but is potentially promising to empower patients to self-assess skin lesions before consulting a health care professional. An additional prospective validation study, particularly for suspicious pigmented skin lesions, is warranted. Furthermore, studies investigating mHealth implementation in the lay population are needed to demonstrate the impact on health care systems.Dermatology (Source: Dermatology)

The Bacteriology of Skin Lesions in Patients with Hidradenitis Suppurativa Is Associated with Previous Antibiotic Treatment in the Community Setting: A Referral Center Experience
Conclusion: Nonstandardized antibiotic treatment of HS in the community setting can skew the microbiology of skin lesions toward gram-negative bacteria. Therefore, treatment with trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole or ciprofloxacin, either alone or combined with rifampicin, may be considered.Dermatology (Source: Dermatology)

Outcome Comparison of Different Reconstructive Approaches for Axillary Defects Secondary to Radical Excision of Hidradenitis Suppurativa
Conclusion: Despite an increased operation time, axillary reconstruction by the posterior arm flap yields a reduced length of stay, less time to complete wound healing along with restoration of a protective sensibility, and less axillary scarring avoiding functional deficits – eventually allowing earlier return to work.Dermatology (Source: Dermatology)

Dark Green Leafy Vegetable Intake, MTHFR Genotype, and Risk of Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Conclusion: The protective effect of dark green leafy vegetables on cutaneous SCC may be genotype-dependent. Folate metabolism-related gene polymorphisms should be considered when assessing the relation of green leafy vegetables to cancer risk.Dermatology (Source: Dermatology)
