A survey among dermatologists: Diagnostics of superficial fungal infections – what is used and what is needed to initiate therapy and assess efficacy?
ConclusionThe available diagnostic methods are heterogeneous and their usage differs between different practices as well as between countries. The survey confirmed that dermatologists find it important to make a mycological diagnosis, particularly prior to starting oral antifungal treatment in order to confirm the diagnose and target the therapy according to genus and species.This article is protected by copyright.

The spectrum of cutaneous adverse events during Encorafenib and Binimetinib treatment in BRAF mutant advanced melanoma
ConclusionCompared to data published for established BRAFi, encorafenib monotherapy showed less hyperproliferative cutaneous adverse events. In contrast, palmoplantar hyperkeratosis and palmoplantar erythrodysesthesia seem to occur more often. The combination encorafenib with binimetinib is well tolerated and induces few cutaneous adverse events.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Predictors of response to omalizumab and relapse in chronic spontaneous urticaria: a study of 470 patients
ConclusionsOur study confirms bIgE as a reliable biomarker predicting response to omalizumab in CSU, while it does not support the usefulness of bD ‐dimer unlike previous findings. CSU duration before omalizumab and baseline UAS7 may be clinical markers of relapse risk.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Apremilast for moderate hidradenitis suppurativa: no significant change in lesional skin inflammatory biomarkers
ConclusionWe did not detect statistically significant changes in inflammatory markers in HSL skin of HS patients receiving apremilast compared with placebo, despite clinical improvement in the apremilast group. Nonetheless, S100A12 and IL ‐17A were significantly elevated in HSL skin and showed a decrease in response to apremilast. The translational model in clinical trials involving HS clearly needs further improvement.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
