Mayo Clinic Minute: Sun Allergy
Memorial Day is a time to reflect and honor those who died while serving in the armed forces. Celebrations often include firing up the grill and spending time outdoors in the sun. There's no question that sun exposure increases your risk of skin cancer. But, the sun can cause other issues too, including sun allergies. [...]

Spring health cheat sheet
The beginning of spring often brings warm weather and hours of outdoor fun, and many common winter infections recede.
Unfortunately, spring weather can bring its own health challenges. As soon as the trees and flowers bloom, flowers bud and the grass grows, susceptible children will start to display symptoms of seasonal allergies. Seasonal allergies cause sneezing, runny nose and itchy red eyes and can trigger flares of asthma and eczema.
As children spend more time outdoors, parents also need to watch for exposure to ticks, poison ivy and excess sun.
Read on for the parents’ guide to spring health.

Why Would I Be Low in Vitamin D?
My doctors and I test blood levels of vitamin D on everyone we see in our clinic. When the results come in, two things happen: 1. Pretty much everyone is low in vitamin D. 2. Pretty much everyone is shocked that they are low in vitamin D. Why worry about vitamin D? It's important. Multiple studies have shown that people with low levels of Vitamin D have the following: • Weaker bones [1] • Higher mortality rate [2] • More allergies and asthma [3] • Greater risk of cancer [4] • Higher risk of diabetes [5] • Greater risk of heart attacks [6] • Higher rates of MS [7] • Higher risk of infections [8] • More me...

Environmentally friendly inhalers double the cost for people with asthma
Environmentally friendly asthma inhalers may be good for the atmosphere, but they have nearly doubled what people with asthma pay out of pocket for inhalers.
That’s the take-home message from a study led by Dr. Anupam Jena, an assistant professor of health care policy and medicine at Harvard Medical School and an internist at Massachusetts General Hospital. The findings were published online today in JAMA Internal Medicine.
In 2008, the FDA banned a class of asthma inhalers that contained ozone-depleting propellants called chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Depletion of the earth’s ozone layer causes serious risks for...

Allergies and Atopic Dermatitis in Relation to Skin Cancer
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that allergies and atopy may influence risk of early onset BCC and SCC, and that effects may be gender specific.
Impact: A deeper understanding of the immune mechanisms underlying allergies and atopy may provide new routes of preventing keratinocyte cancers. Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev; 24(4); 749–54. ©2015 AACR.

Unusual skin cancer linked to chronic allergy from metal orthopedic implant
In rare cases, patients with allergies to metals develop persistent skin rashes after metal devices are implanted near the skin. New research suggests these patients may be at increased risk of an unusual and aggressive form of skin cancer.

Systemic glucocorticoid use and early-onset basal cell carcinoma
Immunosuppressive medications are common in the management of numerous conditions, such as organ transplantation, allergies, and respiratory disorders [1]. In some patients with conditions, such as organ transplantation, that require long-term high-dose immunosuppression, immunosuppressives increase risk for squamous cell carcinoma of the skin (SCC; 60- to 250-fold increase), and to a lesser extent for basal cell carcinoma (BCC; 10-fold increase) [2–10]. An increased risk of nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) has also been associated with immunosuppressives among rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease patients [11–13].

Use of specific immunotherapy – a survey of 15 164 employed persons in Germany
ConclusionsAlthough about one‐quarter of respondents reported allergies that might benefit from SIT, less than one‐third had undergone treatment. The main reason was having mild symptoms; guideline or healthcare‐related issues were responsible only to a limited extent.

Equine Dermatology
The last issue of Veterinary Clinics of North America: Equine Practice dedicated to dermatology was published in 1995. At that time, there were relatively few literature resources dedicated to the dermatologic diseases of horses. Since then, interest and expertise in equine dermatology has continued to grow. There are now several textbooks that provide excellent coverage of what has become a very lengthy list of equine dermatologic diseases. In this issue, we have not chosen to re-create a “mini” textbook. We have instead chosen to highlight a number of diseases or clinical presentations that we feel are clinically rel...
