J Physiol. 2020 May 02;: Authors: Burke LM Abstract KEY POINTS: A ketogenic low carbohydrate high fat (K-LCHF) diet can achieve a substantial (∼200%) increase in maximal rates of fat oxidation during exercise in endurance-trained athletes, up to ∼1.5 g min-1 at ∼70% of peak aerobic capacity. In high-level athletes, considerable individual variability is observed but...

J Physiol. 2020 Apr 29;: Authors: Vargas N, Chapman C, Ji W, Johnson B, Gathercole R, Schlader Z Abstract KEY POINTS: Skin wettedness occurring secondary to the buildup of sweat on the skin provokes thermal discomfort, the precursor to engaging in cool-seeking behaviour. Associative evidence indicates that skin wettedness stimulates cool-seeking...

Abstract Background Acne cysts are a common dermatological problem that often leads to scarring and a significant negative impact on patients’ psyche. Objective To report the usefulness of intralesional foam sclerotherapy for the treatment of cystic acne. Material and methods Patients with cystic acne treated with intralesional foam sclerotherapy between June 2018 and May 2019 were identified.

Abstract COVID‐19 is a pandemic disease caused by SARS‐CoV‐2 with high morbidity and mortality. There are very limited data on the interference of immunomodulating drugs on the risk of infection and on the course of the disease. In particular, there are no current clinical data about the interference exerted by dupilumab, a biologic drugs blocking IL‐4 and IL‐13, used for adult atopic dermatitis (AD). The pathogenesis of COVID‐19 is complex, characterized by an immune response mainly Th1/Th17. The...
Abstract Background The clinical presentation of primary antiphospholipid syndrome (PAPS) can vary, often mimicking many other medical conditions. Therefore, it is difficult to diagnose at the first presentation because of the absence of classical symptoms. We described an unusual presentation of PAPS mimicking livedoid vasculopathy (LV), where the only diagnostic clue at the initial presentation was skin lesions in both lower legs. Methods A 75‐year‐old Han Chinese woman presented with...
Abstract Background Tuberculin skin test (TST), which is used in the diagnosis of latent tuberculosis infection may cause Koebner's phenomenon and false positive results in psoriasis patients. Objective The purpose of this study is to compare TST with QuantiFERON‐TB Gold Plus (QFT‐plus) test in psoriasis patients, and to determine the effects of psoriasis on TST results.

Abstract Mogamulizumab shows cytotoxicity against CCR4+ lymphoma cells by antibody‐dependent cell‐mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) in advanced cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL) patients. Although mogamulizumab is used as one of the anchor drugsfor the treatment of advanced CTCL, its efficacy is unsatisfactory, especially in mycosis fungoides (MF). Therefore, additional drugs to enhance the antitumor effects of mogamulizumab is needed to further optimize its use for the treatment of MF. In this report,two...
Abstract Many patients with psoriasis fail to respond to biologic drugs either initially or lose response over time, the latter having predominantly been linked to low circulating drug levels. We examined how serum drug levels varied over three treatment cycles of stable maintenance therapy with either adalimumab or infliximab among a total of 28 patients with psoriasis (22 men, mean age 48.6 years, mean treatment time 6.2 years) and whether there was an association with various patient‐specific...
Abstract COVID‐19 disease, is a highly contagious and a particularly popular problem in all countries. A variety of repurposed drugs and investigational drugs such as remdesivir, chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine, ritonavir, lopinavir, inteferon‐beta and the other potential drugs have been studied for COVID19 treatment. We reviewed the potential dermatological side‐effects of these drugs. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
ABSTRACT The recent EAACI/GA2LEN/EDF/WAO guidelines recommend omalizumab (anti‐IgE) for the management of patients aged ≥12 years with chronic urticaria unresponsive to high‐doses second generation H1−antihistamines (antiH1). However, there is little published information on the success of omalizumab for such a treatment in children. We reported our experience of six patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) treated with omalizumab. Mean age of our case series was 14.7 years (range 11‐16 years)...

In just four months it has spread to almost every country in the world and up to April 182 020, the virus has infected more than 2 million people. Itch is the most common symptom in dermatology and a frequent one of systemic diseases. The association of itch and viral diseases has been widely documented; however, the actual prevalence of...
ABSTRACT During COVID‐19 outbreak there are discordant opinion towards the impact on biologics in psoriatic patients. Thus we performed a single center case‐control study in Lombardia, the Italian region with the higher number of COVID‐19 confirmed cases. We enrolled 1193 PsO patients treated with biologics and small molecules and we used the entire Lombardia population as controls. Notably, 17 PsO patients COVID‐19 confirmed were quarantined at home and 5 hospitalized, no PsO patients were admitted...
Abstract Palmoplantar psoriasis (PPP) is a chronic, inflammatory dermatosis of the palms and/or soles with significant morbidity.
