Dermatitis

<u> Background: </u> Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease. However, few studies have investigated brain changes associated with chronic inflammation. We hypothesized that chronic inflammation might be related to brain structural alterations in patients with AD. <u> Objectives: </u> To investigate the association between disease severity (Eczema Area and Severity Index [EASI]), proinflammatory cytokines, and differences in brain gray matter (GM) volume in patients with AD...

<u> <i/> </u>Although psychedelic and hallucinogenic substances have gained popularity for therapeutic use, their dermatologic adverse effects are poorly characterized. This review characterizes the cutaneous reactions associated with psychedelic and hallucinogenic drugs. A review of PubMed and Scopus was conducted from the inception of databases to August 31, 2023. Search terms included drug names and classes (cannabis, MDMA, ecstasy, 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine, psychedelics, hallucinogens, peyote, marijuana, lysergic acid diethylamide, LSD, ketamine, dimethyltryptamine, DMT, phencyclidine, PCP, dextromethorphan, psilocybin, and ayahuasca), and dermatosis terms (dermatitis, contact dermatitis, drug eruption, skin reaction, and urticaria)...

<u> Background: </u> Mutations in filaggrin (FLG), the gene that codes for the skin barrier protein, have been shown to be associated with atopic dermatitis (AD). <u> Objective: </u> The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of genetic counseling and parental education on infants at a high risk of AD. <u> Methods: </u> We enrolled 7521 newborns in Taiwan from January 1, 2016, to March 30, 2020, and all of them received genetic testing encompassing 20 known FLG mutations...

<u> Background: </u> Over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, our clinic has encountered numerous patients who report that either COVID-19 vaccination or infection was the precipitating event for their development of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD). Up to this time, there is no formal investigation regarding COVID-19 vaccination or infection causing ACD. However, there have been several registry-based case series of associated dermatoses after COVID-19 infection or vaccination. <u> Objective: </u> This study aimed to describe patient-reported associations between COVID-19 infection or vaccination and onset of ACD...

<u> Background: </u> Atopic dermatitis (AD) patients have increased likelihood of developing depression and anxiety. The patient and caregiver's perceptions of the correlation of mental health (MH) and AD symptoms are not well understood. <u> Objective: </u> To evaluate patient-reported MH symptoms and their correlation with AD disease severity and understand patient-perceived associations of AD with impacts to their MH. <u> Methods: </u> Adult AD patients (18+ years) or caregivers of AD patients (8-17 years) were recruited to complete a survey about MH and their perception of its relationship with AD...
