    Department of Dermatology, Shanghai Skin Disease Hospital, Shanghai, China.
    Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis, characterized by subcorneal or superficial intraepidermal pustules, is induced by drugs in more than 90% of cases. Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease triggered by different conditions in genetically susceptible people. Generalized pustular psoriasis is an acute and severe clinical form of psoriasis, which usually occurs in patients with psoriasis undergoing aggravating factors. Read More

    Bullous pemphigoid associated with chronic hepatitis C virus infection in a hepatitis B virus endemic area: A case report.
    Medicine (Baltimore) 2018 Apr;97(15):e0377
    Department of Pathology, Inha University Hospital, Inha University School of Medicine, Incheon, South Korea.
    Introduction: Bullous pemphigoid is a type of acute or chronic autoimmune disease that involves subepidermal skin lesions with bulla formation. Although viral infections, such as, human herpes virus (HHV), human immunodeficiency virus, cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, HHV-6, hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV), are known factors of bullous pemphigoid, HCV infection has only been rarely associated factor, especially in HBV endemic area. A 78-year-old man was admitted to our hospital due to erythematous bulla of onset 3 months before presentation affecting his entire body. Read More

    Type I Gaucher disease with bullous pemphigoid and Parkinson disease: A case report.
    Medicine (Baltimore) 2018 Mar;97(13):e0188
    Department of Clinical Neurosciences, University Hospital of Geneva.
    Rationale: Gaucher disease (GD) is a rare genetic lysosomal storage disorder inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. GD is due to the deficiency of a lysosomal enzyme, acid beta-glucosidase (or glucocerebrosidase). Type 1 Gaucher disease (GD1) is characterized by thrombocytopenia, anemia, an enlarged spleen, and liver as well as bone complications (Erlenmeyer flask deformity, osteoporosis, lytic lesions, pathological and vertebral fractures, bone infarcts, and avascular necrosis leading to degenerative arthropathy).

    Service de Dermatologie, Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Avicenne, Faculté de Médecine et de Pharmacie Mohamed V, Rabat, Maroc.
    Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an organ-specific autoimmune disease which can be associated with many pathologies including degenerative neurological diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. Studies have suggested the possibility of cross-immune responses through "epitope spreading". Bullous dermatosis has been reported to be secondary to neurological disease, at intervals ranging from a few months to a maximum of a few years. Read More

    A "late-but-fitter revertant cell" explains the high frequency of revertant mosaicism in epidermolysis bullosa.
    PLoS One 2018 22;13(2):e0192994. Epub 2018 Feb 22.
    University of Groningen, University Medical Center Groningen, Department of Dermatology, Groningen, the Netherlands.
    Revertant mosaicism, or "natural gene therapy", is the phenomenon in which germline mutations are corrected by somatic events. In recent years, revertant mosaicism has been identified in all major types of epidermolysis bullosa, the group of heritable blistering disorders caused by mutations in the genes encoding epidermal adhesion proteins. Moreover, revertant mosaicism appears to be present in all patients with a specific subtype of recessive epidermolysis bullosa. Read More

    Unit of Dermatology, Carlo Urbai Hospital, AREA Vasta 2 ASUR Marche, Jesi, Ancona, Italy -
    The neutrophilic dermatoses (NDs) comprise a group of heterogeneous disorders characterized by inflammatory skin lesions that histologically show an intense inflammatory infiltrate composed primarily by neutrophils, with no evidence of infection or vasculitis. Although there are distinct clinical differences in the classical lesions of these disorders, many patients have overlapping features. In this review, we describe the clinical aspects of the main NDs, including: Sweet Syndrome, ND of the dorsal hands, pyoderma gangrenosum, erythema elevatum diutinum, subcorneal pustular dermatosis, neutrophilic eccrine hidradenitis, rheumatoid neutrophilic dermatitis, neutrophilic panniculitis, and aseptic abscesses including their association with underlying diseases and the differential diagnoses.

    Optimizing suction blister epidermal graft technique in the surgical treatment of vitiligo.
    An Bras Dermatol 2017 Nov-Dec;92(6):888-890
    Department of Dermatology at Hospital Santa Casa de Curitiba - Curitiba (PR), Brazil.
    Surgical management of vitiligo is considered an excellent terapeutic option for recalcitrant cases, provided the disease is stable and there is absence of Koebner phenomenom. Among surgical modalities, Suction Blister Epidermal Graft is a low cost and effective option (65 to 100% repigmentation can be achieved in up to 80% of patients). We describe how it can be optimized by using an alternative suction equipment, by customization of graft format and by application of an anesthetic technique that substantially reduces procedure time.

    Centre de Recherche sur la Peau, Pierre Fabre Dermo-Cosmétique, F-31000 Toulouse, France.
    The formation of DNA photoproducts caused by solar UVR exposure needs to be investigated in-vivo and in particular in order to assess sunscreens' level of protection against solar genotoxicity. The study's purposes were: i) to evaluate if the roof of suction blisters is an appropriate sampling method for measuring photoproducts, and ii) to measure in-vivo sunscreen protection against cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers. Skin areas on the interior forearms of eight healthy volunteers were exposed in-vivo to 2 MED of simulated solar radiation (SSR) and to 15 MED on a sunscreen protected area. Read More

    Neuroradiology 2017 Dec 18;59(12):1285-1290. Epub 2017 Oct 18.
    Cerebrovascular Center, Cleveland Clinic, 9500 Euclid Ave, S80, Cleveland, OH, 44195, USA.
    Purpose: Blood blister-like aneurysms (BBA) are small, friable, broad-based aneurysms that represent high risk for rerupture. Treatment of BBA is challenging, and may include surgical wrapping, clipping, multiple overlapping stents, and/or coiling. Flow diversion is a rapidly evolving treatment strategy for intracranial aneurysms, but the evidence for its use in cases of BBA is scarce. Read More

    Prospective Clinical Trial of Corneal Reconstruction With Biomaterial-Free Cultured Oral Mucosal Epithelial Cell Sheets.
    Cornea 2018 Jan;37(1):76-83
    Department of Ophthalmology, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea.
    Purpose: To investigate the efficacy and safety of transplantation with biomaterial-free cultured oral mucosal epithelial cell sheets (COMECs) for ocular reconstruction in subjects with total limbal stem cell deficiency.

    Methods: A prospective clinical trial (NCT02149732) was conducted in 8 subjects with total limbal stem cell deficiency after approval from the institutional review board of Seoul National University Hospital (H-0707-043-213) and the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety of Korea. COMECs were prepared in a culture system without the use of any temperature-sensitive polymers or carriers. Read More

    The risk of Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis in new users of antiepileptic drugs.
    Epilepsia 2017 12 13;58(12):2178-2185. Epub 2017 Oct 13.
    Basel Pharmacoepidemiology Unit, Division of Clinical Pharmacy and Epidemiology, Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Basel, Basel, Switzerland.
    Objective: Older antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) are known to cause Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN). However, evidence for newer AED is sparse. We quantified risks of SJS/TEN in association with use of all AEDs in the United Kingdom. Read More
