Dysphagia: Thinking outside the box.
Abstract Dysphagia is a common symptom that is important to recognise and appropriately manage, given that causes include life threatening oesophageal neoplasia, oropharyngeal dysfunction, the risk of aspiration, as well as chronic disabling gastroesophageal reflux (GORD). The predominant causes of dysphagia varies between cohorts depending on the interplay between genetic predisposition and environmental risk factors, and is changing with time. Currently in white Caucasian societies adopting a western lifestyle, obesity is common and thus associated gastroesophageal reflux disease is increasingly diagnosed. Simil...

Association of atopy and tentative diagnosis of skin cancer – results from occupational skin cancer screenings
ConclusionDesign limitations of the study include that all findings of skin cancer were based on clinical examination only and must therefore be considered tentative diagnoses. Furthermore, owing to the cross‐sectional study design, causal pathways cannot be proven. However, analyses of data from such a large and general population‐based cohort afford valuable insights into the relationship between atopic diseases and skin cancer. They provide the grounds for prospective cohort studies to evaluate and dissect the underlying mechanism.

Activated Natural Killer Cells Mediate the Suppressive Effect of Interleukin-4 on Tumor Development via STAT6 Activation in an Atopic Condition Melanoma Model.
Abstract A protective effect of allergy for cancer has been suggested, but the results are somewhat conflicting, and the mechanism remains elusive. Interleukin-4 (IL-4) signaling has been identified as a potentially important pathway in the development of allergies and the suppression of cancer development. To evaluate the allergy responses in IL-4-mediated tumor development, we compared the growth of B16F10 melanoma cells in 4% phthalic anhydride (PA)-treated IL-4/Luc/CNS-1 transgenic mice (IL-4 mice) and acetone-olive oil (AOO)-treated IL-4 mice as a control for 3 weeks. Much higher allergic responses and natura...

Sun protection strategies
About 5% of sunlight is ultraviolet (UV). UV causes gene mutations in skin cells, and is the main cause of all forms of skin cancer. Sun protection is crucial for people at high risk of malignant melanoma: those with fair skin, who are moley or have a family history of melanoma. Sun protection is required in patients at risk of squamous and basal cell skin cancers, and is vital in patients with sunlight allergies. There is no agreement about how much sun protection is advisable for healthy adults at low risk of skin cancer.

Pilomatrix Carcinoma Mimicking a Pigmented Basal Cell Carcinoma.
Abstract A 76-year-old Caucasian man presented to the dermatology clinic for evaluation of a growing lesion in his right preauricular area. He first noticed the lesion several months prior to presentation but felt it had enlarged significantly in the past month. He denied any pain, pruritus, or bleeding. His medical history was significant for melanoma of the nose treated 47 years ago, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and chronic back pain. The patient reported having the melanoma treated but was unaware of any other details concerning the lesion. He denied any allergies and his...

Antihistamines as promising drugs in cancer therapy
Publication date: Available online 14 December 2016 Source:Life Sciences Author(s): Ana I. Faustino-Rocha, Rita Ferreira, Adelina Gama, Paula A. Oliveira, Mário Ginja Histamine is a biogenic amine, synthetized and released by mast cells, which acts as a vasodilator in several pathologic processes, namely in allergies and conjunctivitis. Its role on cancer is not fully understood. High levels of histamine have been associated with a bivalent behavior in regulation of several tumors (i.e. cervical, ovarian, vaginal, uterine, vulvar, colorectal cancer, and melanoma), promoting or inhibiting their growth. Histamine receptors...
