Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a condition frequently encountered in medical practices across the country. More than 60% of children with AD are at risk to develop allergic rhinitis or asthma (the atopic march). Patients with AD have a unique predisposition to colonization or infection by Staphylococcus aureus. Treatments for AD need to rapidly control symptoms of the disease, improve quality of lif...

Background & Aims: Atopic dermatitis is a common allergic disease recognized as a threat to public health. Atopic dermatitis is often observed in people with individual or family history of allergic diseases. Due to the importance of this disease and its early diagnosis, and the very limited number of studies on this topic, the current study was performed on the prevalence of atopic dermatitis ...

The purpose of this paper was to evaluate the efficacy of topical skin lipid complex (SLC) in canine atopic dermatitis (AD). Eight dogs with chronic AD and no improvement of main therapy in symptoms, erythema, lichenification, excoriation, and alopecia in the previous month were treated with SLC topically as adjunct therapy at lesion sites twice weekly for 12 weeks. A statistically significant ...

BACKGROUND Although total IgE levels have been proposed as a biomarker for disease severity in atopic dermatitis (AD) and are increased in the majority of AD patients, they do not correlate with disease severity during short-term follow-up. During the synthesis of immunoglobulins, free light chains (Ig-FLCs) are produced in excess over heavy chains. In comparison with IgE molecules, Ig-FLCs hav...

OBJECTIVE Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory disease causing intense pruritus, and with typical clinical features. There are few epidemiological studies concerning AD in adults, as well as little information about its prognostic. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and epidemiological course of adults with AD. METHODS 80 patients aged above 18 years (mean age=29 y...

BACKGROUND Despite limited evidence, woollen clothing has traditionally been considered to be an irritant that should be avoided by individuals with atopic dermatitis (AD). Wool fibres come in a range of diameters, and have beneficial thermodynamic and moisture transport properties. OBJECTIVES This study examines the effects of superfine merino wool on symptoms in participants with mild-to-mo...

People with atopic dermatitis (AD) would benefit from personalised treatment strategies. We aim to develop a computational tool that makes predictions of AD severity dynamics and generates recommendations. introduced EczemaPred, framework predict patient-dependent dynamic evolution using Bayesian state-space models. used EczemaPred the Patient-Oriented Scoring Atopic Dermatitis (PO-SCORAD) by c...

the prevalence of atopic disease in recent decades has been dramatically increased. it has been suggested that bcg vaccination may protect against development of allergic diseases. the purpose of this study was to identifying relation between scar of bcg vaccine and atopy. this cross-sectional study was done in 1000 children, 10-15 years of age, in zanjan city. one thousand children (501 girls ...

Background: Due to the chronic nature of atopic dermatitis and dependence of most patients to steroids, finding a suitable alternative treatment is important. Objectives: To determine the efficacy of phototherapy in treatment of atopic dermatitis, also to evaluate possible influencing factors in response of patients to psoralen+UVA (PUVA) therapy. Patients and Methods: 13 patients with resistan...

Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is a type IV delayed hypersensitivity reaction. The gold standard for diagnosis is patch testing. The prevalence of positive patch tests in referred patients with suspected ACD ranges from 27 to 95.6%. The relationship between ACD and atopic dermatitis (AD) is complicated with conflicting reports of prevalence in the literature; however, in a patient with derma...
