Acne fulminans associated with lymecycline intake: a case report
Full text linkBruno Gualtieri, Annalisa Tonini, Salvatore Panduri, Andrea Chiricozzi, Marco Romanelli Department of Dermatology, University of Pisa, Pisa, Italy Abstract: Acne fulminans (AF) is a rare acne variant characterized by sudden onset of painful nodules on the face, chest, and back in the presence of systemic symptoms. Pharmacologic agents such as steroid hormones and isotretinoin are well-known triggers, and several cases have been described. We report a case of AF occurring a few days after lymecycline therapy initiation. Keywords: onset, systemic symptoms, steroids, trigger, isotretinoin, scar
Genital infections as a trigger for psoriatic lesions
No full textSynopsis When infectious genital lesions are associated with erythematous-desquamative patches and/or plaques that are resistant to antimicrobial therapy, the possibility of psoriatic lesions arising via Koebner phenomenon should be considered
Correlation between chronic wound bed and surrounding skin temperature with a clinical wound bed score
No full textChronic wounds are characterized by defective remodeling of the extracellular matrix and prolonged inflammation. To obtain biochemical and
physical information about the wound bed and the surrounding skin different options of non-invasive and objective measurements have been developed. Non-invasive temperature assessment of wound bed and perilesional skin could be a reliable parameter of inflammation and infection

Impact of psychiatric comorbidities in psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa and atopic dermatitis: The importance of a psychodermatological approach
No full textBackground: There is a strong interaction between the immunological and nervous system in the skin. Lesions that are physically disfiguring and chronically relapsing have a high impact on quality of life (QoL) and can result in the emergence of psychiatric disorders. The literature data confirm a higher prevalence of psychiatric disorders in patients with psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and atopic dermatitis (AD), but such data are compromised by low-quality evidence due to methodological heterogeneity. Objectives: The primary aim was to analyse the prevalence of psychiatric comorbidities in a group of psoriasis, AD and HS patients compared with a control group. The secondary aims were to evaluate the impact of psychiatric comorbidities on the disease development, severity, flare-ups and QoL. Methods: A total of 59 cases and 64 controls were included. Results: Generalized anxiety disorder and depressive disorder with anxious distress were found to be risk factors for AD. Age, smoking and substance-related disorder showed a specific association with HS. Major depressive disorder showed a specific association with dermatology life quality index (DLQI) and all the above disease flare-ups. Conclusions: Atopic dermatitis, psoriasis and HS are associated with psychiatric disorders. A psychodermatological approach improves outcomes in terms of QoL, disease flare-ups and long-term management
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
