Controversial cardiovascular and hematologic comorbidities in atopic dermatitis
AbstractAtopic dermatitis ’ (AD) systemic involvement is wide-reaching. The cardiovascular and hematological comorbidities of AD have potential for considerable economic and physical burden; however, data surrounding the association between these comorbidities and AD is controversial. This review discusses the cardiovascul ar and hematological comorbidities of AD, detailing the conflicting evidence, pathophysiology, and connection to medications. A PubMed search was conducted for studies detailing the association of cardiovascular and hematological comorbidities with AD, providing approximately 30 results. Additional sea...

Association of autoimmune blistering disease, and specifically, pemphigus vulgaris, with cardiovascular disease and its risk factors: a systematic review and meta-analysis
The objective of the study was to systematically review the relationship of  AIBD, including pemphigus vulgaris (PV), and its treatment with CVD and CVD risk factors. MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane, LILACS, SCOPUS, and Web of Science were searched. We included all studies of CVD and CVD risk factors in AIBD patients. Two reviewers performed title and/or abstract review and da ta extraction. Pooled random-effects meta-analysis was performed. Forty papers met inclusion criteria. AIBD was associated with higher odds of diabetes (DM) (odds ratio [95% confidence interval]: 1.809 [1.258–2.601]), hypertension (HTN) (1.393 [1.088�...

Atypical purpuric oedema of the nose during granulomatosis with polyangiitis.
We report the case of a 47-year-old woman presenting purpuric oedematous plaque with bullous detachment of the nose and hospitalised for the assessment of two suspicious neoplastic lung lesions discovered as a result of a recent stroke and repeated seromucosal otitis. Granulomatosis with polyangeitis was suspected because of multiple systemic lesions. The histopathology of skin lesions and laboratory investigation results were consistent with this diagnosis. A favourable outcome was achieved with corticosteroids and rituximab. DISCUSSION: The diagnosis of GPA is based on criteria established by the American College of...

575 Rapid changes in the red meat and α-Gal specific IgE-RAST level profile in the clinical course of a case with red meat allergy and Haemaphysalis longicornis bite
A case with stroke was referred to our hospital with two ticks attached on her right arm. Five days after admission, she started slurry food including red meat, and developed generalized urticarial rash. Then, she was diagnosed having urticarial allergic reaction to red meat, and red meat was eliminated from her hospital diet. The eruption disappeared within 3 days without systemic corticosteroid therapy. Her rash didn ’t recur during 4 months hospitalization. High prevalence of urticarial type red meat allergy was reported in the endemic area of Japanese spotted fever, which is mediated by Haemaphysalis longicornis (H.

Clinical Analysis and Management of Acquired Idiopathic Generalized Anhidrosis.
Authors: Satoh T Abstract Acquired idiopathic generalized anhidrosis (AIGA) is a sweating disorder characterized by inadequate sweating in response to heat stimuli such as high temperature, humidity, and physical exercise. Patients exhibit widespread nonsegmental hypohidrosis/anhidrosis without any apparent cause, but the palms, soles, and axillae are rarely affected. Heat stroke readily develops due to increased body temperature. AIGA commonly affects young males. Approximately 30-60% of patients show complications of cholinergic urticaria, also known as idiopathic pure sudomotor failure or hypohidrotic cholinergi...

Neurologic Itch Management.
Authors: Şavk E Abstract Neurologic itch is defined as pruritus resulting from any dysfunction of the nervous system. Itch arising due to a neuroanatomic pathology is seen to be neuropathic. Causes of neuropathic itch range from localized entrapment of a peripheral nerve to generalized degeneration of small nerve fibers. Antipruritic medications commonly used for other types of itch such as antihistamines and corticosteroids lack efficacy in neuropathic itch. Currently there are no therapeutic options that offer relief in all types of neuropathic pruritus, and treatment strategies vary according to etiology. It is...

Mortality of bullous pemphigoid in Singapore: risk factors and causes of death in 359 patients seen at the National Skin Centre.
CONCLUSION: This study confirmed an increased 3-year mortality rate for BP patients in Singapore. Risk factors for increased mortality include medical co-morbidities, especially neurological, cardiac and renal diseases. Treatment with combination therapy, including the use of low to moderate dose corticosteroid, appeared to decrease mortality risk in BP patients. This article is protected by copyright.
