CONCLUSION: Vascular patterns can distinguish post-COVID-19 TE. The perifollicular lymphocytic infiltrate supports a direct viral or localized immune-mediated insult.
CONCLUSION: These findings underscore the critical importance of considering clinician behavior and contextual factors, such as specialty care needs, in addition to technical capabilities, when promoting the adoption and use of interoperability tools.
The advent of telemedicine has significantly transformed the healthcare landscape, offering enhanced accessibility to specialised wound care. By integrating digital health solutions, complementary to face-to-face care, in a personalised care pathway telemedicine facilitates timely interventions, reduces unnecessary hospital visits and optimises medical resources. Developing recommendations on the effective use of telemedicine in wound care can encourage good practice. The model proposed by the...
Ras signalling is an important regulator of cell proliferation, survival, differentiation, and immune responses. Although Ras pathways have been extensively studied in cancer biology, increasing evidence suggests that many pathogens also manipulate Ras-associated signalling networks to support infection, persistence, and immune evasion. Viruses, bacteria, and parasites can alter Ras activity either directly or indirectly through downstream pathways such as MAPK/ERK and PI3K/AKT. However,...
CONCLUSION: Our study indicates, resurgence of gonorrhea in post-COVID-19 period and emergence of cases with lack of adequate treatment response, thereby, emphasizing the need for increased surveillance.
The Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA) 2025 annual meeting featured a new "Soapbox: Rapid fire presentations" session, highlighting various topics and emerging work across diverse areas of psoriatic disease (PsD). Three presentations are summarized here. The first provided the first national epidemiologic analysis of PsD in Peru, demonstrating marked age, sex, and geographic disparities, as well as shifts in healthcare utilization following the...
The primary route of SARS-CoV-2 entry is via respiratory epithelium. However, many COVID-19 patients developed dermatological lesions, and SARS-CoV-2 RNA has been detected in the patients' skin. Inflammatory skin diseases, psoriasis and atopic dermatitis (AD), significantly increased the risk of COVID-19. To evaluate the potential role of skin in SARS-CoV-2 host interactions, we utilized 3D human skin organoids (HSO) generated from human epidermal keratinocytes, as well as neonatal skin...
Background: The increasing incidence and improved survival rates of multiple myeloma (MM) have led to a growing healthcare burden, particularly in terms of hospitalizations. In addition, infection-related complications remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality in these patients. The impact of infection control measures implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic on hospitalization patterns in MM is not well-established. Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational study including all...
Background/Objectives: SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 vaccination have both been linked to post-acute alopecia, yet prevalence, patterns, and correlates remain poorly defined. We aimed to determine the prevalence and patterns of alopecia after SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 vaccination, and to identify independent correlates among Saudi adults. Methods: A cross-sectional study of 1261 Saudi adults (≥18 years) was conducted nationwide between March and July 2025 using a structured,...
CONCLUSIONS: Long COVID was associated with profound impairment in HRQoL compared with recovered controls. Depressive symptoms, post-COVID comorbidity burden, and lower active employment were the strongest independent correlates of poorer HRQoL; fatigue severity showed a borderline association in the same direction. These findings support multidisciplinary long COVID care models that integrate symptom control, mental health assessment, and social and occupational reintegration. Routine...
CONCLUSION: Dermatologists should be aware that patients with moderate or severe AD may have a higher risk for developing corneal ectasia, particularly when eyelid eczema is present. The estimated prevalence of KC in patients with AD appears to be higher than that in the general population but more studies are needed.
Hand eczema (HE) imposes a significant socioeconomic burden, particularly in severe and occupational cases. To identify major allergens and associated factors in Chinese patients with HE referred for patch testing, we conducted a retrospective cohort study included 788 cases of HE detected from 4438 patients who were patch-tested in Shanghai, China, between 2018 and 2023. The HE group had an 82.23% patch-test positivity rate. N-Isopropyl-N-Phenyl-4-Phenylenediamine were more common in the HE...
CONCLUSIONS: Our pose-guided, high-resolution pipeline enables robust, objective detection of CVI-related skin lesions. By demonstrating high generalizability across multicentre and public datasets, this framework serves as a reliable decision-support tool to standardize clinical phenotyping and facilitate consistent triage and management of chronic venous disease across diverse care settings.
Millipede dermatitis is an uncommon clinical presentation caused by exposure to defensive secretions released by millipedes, often resulting in striking cutaneous discoloration that may mimic more serious conditions such as envenomation, infection, vasculitis, or tissue necrosis. We present the case of a previously healthy four-year-old male who developed acute black discoloration and mild pain involving the plantar surfaces of the right toes after playing barefoot outdoors. Physical examination...
CONCLUSIONS: Dupilumab dose reduction was successful in the majority of pediatric patients with controlled AD, suggesting that individualized dosing regimens are feasible and may help address practical challenges.
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a skin disease characterized by impaired barrier function and immune dysregulation, in which oxidative stress imbalance plays a key pathogenic role. Current clinical therapies for AD treatment primarily target immune and inflammatory responses, but rarely address direct clearance of reactive oxygen species (ROS). To correct this imbalance, a multi-enzyme-mimetic nanocomposite, an Au@Mn/Zn bimetallic metal-organic framework (Au@Mn/Zn-MOF; AMZM) is constructed. Manganese...
CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that specific inflammatory cytokines may mediate the associations between gut microbiota and inflammatory skin diseases. These results provide new insights into the gut microbiota-cytokine-skin disease axis and may contribute to the identification of potential therapeutic targets for inflammatory skin diseases.
The rapid expansion of digital technology has led to unprecedented levels of screen exposure among children and adolescents, raising concerns regarding its potential impact on dermatologic health. This state-of-the-art review aims to synthesize current evidence regarding the pathophysiological mechanisms, clinical manifestations, and preventive strategies associated with digital exposure in pediatric populations. A comprehensive literature search was conducted across PubMed, Scopus, and Google...
