Welcome to the journal page by Skin Care Cymru!<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The aim of this is page of our website is to provide an overview of some of the latest developments published in the journals of the British Association of Dermatologists along with other publications of interest.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The British Journal of Dermatology produces freely available plain language summaries available\u00a0by following this link<\/a><\/span>. This page is not meant to be a replacement for these, rather to augment it. This is also not a comprehensive summary but some interesting articles we want to share.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Gene mutations and how they relate to different types of ichthyosis<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authors: J.K. Simpson, M. Martinez-Queipo, A. Onoufriadis, S. Tso, E. Glass, L. Liu, T. Higashino, W. Scott, C. Tierney, M.A. Simpson,R. Desomchoke, L. Youssefian, A.H. SaeIdian, H. Vahidnezhad, A.

McGrath<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journal: British Journal of Dermatology<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This study examined patterns of mutations in genes of people with autosomal recessive ichthyosis. They found that 83% of people had mutations, and the further 17% of patients may have had mutations that were not detected by current techniques. These mutations were found in 10 different genes associated with ichthyosis, and the findings provide new insights into the genetic causes of the skin condition https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/bjd.18211<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A challenge of being tall: an occupational cause of notalgia paraesthetica<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authors: J. Barron, P. Falkner, N. Yasin, A. Mughal<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journal: Clinical and Experimental Dermatology<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notalgia paraesthetica is a common but underdiagnosed neurocutaneous condition characterised by localised itch on the back. This article presents the case of a 38 year old patient with the condition, which may have developed from a combination of factors, including their height and occupation requiring them to sit in uncomfortable positions for long peroids of time https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/ced.14647<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developing and testing compassion-based self-help for people living with psoriasis<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Authors: Z. Muftin, P. Gilbert, A.R. Thompson<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journal: British Journal of Dermatology <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This study designed and tested a self-compassion resource to see how effective it was for improving the quality of life of people living with psoriasis, and found that the intervention reduced feelings of shame and self-critical thoughts https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/bjd.21300<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Injectable tralokinumab gives new hope to patients with severe atopic dermatitis<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authors: J. Gutermuth, A.E. Pink, M. Worm, L. Soldbro, C. Bjerregard, S. Weidinger<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journal: British Journal of Dermatology<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This clinical trial evaluated the use of an injectable drug for the treatment of atopic dermatitis in adults compared to placebo, and found there were improvements in skin condition severity for people who had received tralokinumab https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/bjd.20832<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stigma, social appearance anxiety and coping in men and women living with skin conditions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authors: O. Hughes, P.B. Hutchings, C. Phelps<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journal: Skin Health and Disease<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This study used an online survey to investigate levels of appearance related anxiety between males and females with skin conditions, and examined if there were any differences in coping styles between genders. They found that males and females appeared to be equally psychosocially impacted by living with a skin condition, and females were more likely to engage in avoidant coping behaviours than males https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/ski2.73<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding why patients with vitiligo rarely develop skin cancers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authors: H.D. Brahmbhatt, R. Gupta, A. Gupta, S. Rastogi, R. Misri, A. Mobeen, A. Ghosh, P. Kothari, S. Sitaniya, V. Scaria, A. Singh<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journal: British Journal of Dermatology<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This study examined samples of skin affected by vitiligo, and skin unaffected by vitiligo and extracted genetic material. They found there were differences in levels of proteins in the skin with vitiligo, which suggested a molecular basis for the protection of vitiligo skin against sun damage https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/bjd.19666<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The epidemiology of hidradenitis suppurativa<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Author: J. Ingram<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journal: British Journal of Dermatology<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The study suggests that in the USA and Europe hidradenitis suppurativa is more common in females in their 30’s and 40’s, and found strong links between the condition and smoking, as well as associations with being overweight, heart disease and stroke https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/bjd.19435<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pemphigus and associated diseases<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Authors: K. Heelan, A.L. Mahar, S. Walsh, N.H. Shear<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journal: Clinical and Experimental Dermatology<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pemphigus is a rare skin disease that causes thin blisters to appear on the skin and is very itchy. It is similar to the relatively more common pemphigoid but differs in that the blisters are less tense and is more resistant to treatment. This studylooked at 295 patient records and found people with pemphigus were more likely to have high blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid problems, cancer, asthma and rheumatoid arthritis. Other diseases also coexisted but were less common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psoriasis associated with cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Authors: J. Skivern, P. Philipsen, G. Therming<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journal: Clinical and Experimental Dermatology<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has long been established that people with psoriasis are more likely to have heart disease and are at higher risk of stroke. They are more likely to have what is known as \u201cmetabolic syndrome\u201d whereby someone is at higher risk of diabetes and high blood pressure. This study demonstrated that patients did not necessarily know the risk to their health with respect to this and were not aware of necessary changes in lifestyle such as exercise and weight loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new treatment for Scabies<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Authors: S.E. Park, Y. Her, S.S. Kim, C.W. Kim<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journal: Clinical and Experimental Dermatology<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scabies is a very itchy skin caused by a mite that burrows under the skin. It is spread by skin to skin contact. These investigators evaluated the effectiveness of a solution of 1% lindane (which is often used to treat woodworm) and found it to be an effective treatment for scabies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetic causes for acne<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Authors: L. Li, Y. Wu, L. Li, Y.F. Cai, L. Geng, X.H. Gao, H.D. Chen<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journal: Clinical and Experimental Dermatology<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Acne is a disorder of the skin that has a multifaceted cause including over production of cells at the openings of hair follicles. This study found that an inherited genetic change could contribute to getting acne. It has been suggested that acne does run in families more but this study has found a possible gene that could contribute to this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
