CONCLUSIONS: National crisis-related stress was associated with higher incidence of infectious skin diseases, particularly herpes zoster, but not with inflammatory conditions. These findings support targeted interventions, including vaccination and stress management, during crises.
CONCLUSION: This study identified primary infertility, varicocele diagnosis and asthenozoospermia as predominant findings among infertile Egyptian men. Over a decade, temporal declines in sperm concentration, motility, and morphology were observed, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Smoking and elevated gonadotropins negatively influenced semen quality and testicular volume, whereas testosterone levels and varicocele grade showed no significant correlation. These findings highlight the...
Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2019, various vaccines have been developed to control its spread. Initially, conventional inactivated virus vaccines, such as CoronaVac (Sinovac), were introduced, followed by more advanced mRNA-based vaccines, such as BNT162b2 (Pfizer-BioNTech). COVID-19 vaccines have been associated with several adverse effects, particularly dermatological manifestations. Morphea, also known as localized scleroderma, is an inflammatory and sclerosing skin disease...
Reactive infectious mucocutaneous eruption (RIME) is a recently defined mucocutaneous manifestation associated with respiratory infections, most commonly reported secondary to Mycoplasma pneumoniae. The core diagnostic criteria of RIME involve greater than or equal to two mucosal areas with erosive mucositis, minimal cutaneous lesions, a recent infectious prodrome, and exclusion of drug-induced etiologies. RIME presents with acute mucositis involving the oral, ocular, and genital mucosa, with...
CONCLUSION: No clinically significant seasonal variation in skin cancer presentation was found in a large primary care skin cancer cohort in metropolitan Sydney; however, COVID-19 exerts a substantial and sustained impact. Vigilance regarding the long-term consequences of pandemic-related healthcare disruptions is warranted.
The clinical utility of streptokinase, a widely used and cost-effective thrombolytic agent, has gained importance post COVID-19 due to increase in cardiovascular diseases globally. But the strong humoral immunogenicity exhibited by it, restricts its usage. Building upon our prior work of developing truncated streptokinase variants and their plasminogen activation study, we report here the results of immunogenicity studies for identification of variants with reduced immunogenicity. A panel of ten...
Granular parakeratosis (GP) is an uncommon keratinization disorder that predominantly affects intertriginous areas and may clinically mimic atopic dermatitis or psoriasis. Histologically, GP is characterized by compact hyperkeratosis, parakeratosis, and retention of keratohyalin granules within the stratum corneum, although its histopathological spectrum is heterogeneous. Previous studies have consisted mainly of case reports, while mechanistic investigations remain limited, and whether GP...
CONCLUSIONS: Current evidence suggests that drugs and vaccines may act as potential triggers of new-onset pemphigus in susceptible individuals; however, the strength of evidence differs substantially between the two settings. Drug-associated cases generally provide more convincing clinical support for a trigger-related mechanism, whereas vaccine-associated cases require more cautious interpretation because temporal association alone cannot establish causality. Standardized case reporting,...
Montelukast is a selective cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 antagonist with an established, though nuanced, role in the management of asthma and allergic rhinitis. By inhibiting leukotriene-mediated signaling, montelukast targets a pathway involved in bronchoconstriction, mucus secretion, vascular permeability, eosinophil recruitment, cytokine release, and airway remodeling. Available evidence indicates that montelukast may reduce several markers of allergic inflammation, including fractional...
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by epidermal barrier dysfunction, immune dysregulation, oxidative stress, microbial dysbiosis, and persistent inflammation. Although current therapies have improved disease management, long-term treatment remains challenging because of disease relapse, adverse effects, treatment costs, and variability in therapeutic response. These challenges have stimulated interest in botanical agents with diverse phytochemical...
CONCLUSIONS: IBD is not frequent in AD patients, but the prevalence seems to be higher compared to the general population. AD occurring with IBD had a typical clinical presentation. Interestingly, occurrence of AD preceded IBD onset in most patients, putting dermatologists in the position to make early IBD diagnosis. However, no direct causal relationship can be drawn from these findings. Larger, controlled prospective studies are needed to clarify the relationship between AD and IBD.
CONCLUSIONS: Stapokibart shows robust efficacy and a favorable safety profile in adults with moderate-to-severe AD, including sustained long-term responses and low conjunctivitis rates. While early data are encouraging, all comparisons with existing IL-4/IL-13 inhibitors are indirect, and further global phase 3 studies and real-world evidence are needed to define its role within treatment algorithms.
CONCLUSION: The findings underscore the significance of incorporating trichoscopy and light microscopy for diagnosing pediatric hair and scalp disorders, including rare genetic hair disorders. High agreement observed between trichoscopy, clinical diagnosis, and light microscopy emphasizes their utility as reliable noninvasive diagnostic tools in pediatric dermatology.
CONCLUSIONS: National crisis-related stress was associated with higher incidence of infectious skin diseases, particularly herpes zoster, but not with inflammatory conditions. These findings support targeted interventions, including vaccination and stress management, during crises.
CONCLUSION: Rosacea may also occur in children. Therapeutic options do not significantly differ from those in adults; however, they must be adjusted to the child's age.
CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that targeting shared mechanisms, such as the Th17 and Th22 pathways, along with barrier repair strategies may enable dual therapeutic benefits. This review underscores the potential for integrative treatment approaches and personalized medicine in managing chronic inflammatory skin disorders.
CONCLUSIONS: Elevated serum IL-22 levels observed in patients with SD suggest a possible involvement of IL-22 in SD-related inflammatory processes. The observed associations between IL-22 and perceived stress support a potential interaction between immunological and psychosocial factors in SD. These findings should be considered exploratory and warrant confirmation in larger studies.
