Home dampness and mold were obtained in two follow up investigations cover 20 years. * Home dampness and mold were associated with offspring asthma and atopic dermatitis. * There were...
Conclusions: Home dampness and mold were associated with offspring asthma and atopic dermatitis. There were dose-response effects of dampness and mold on asthma and dermatitis. Living in newer buildings and indoor painting were risk factors.

Predicting which newborn will go on to develop atopic dermatitis (AD) and how severe it will be is now feasible, according to the BABY* study. Both term (gestational age 37-41...
Conclusion: TARC levels were highest in children in whom AD onset occurred at a later age than those diagnosed before 6 months of age. There was also a positive association between TARC level and AD severity. In children born at term, TARC increased the chances that the severity of AD would be greater than had it not been present (adjusted HR,...

Geographical, environmental and pollution conditions affect facial skin health, but their effects on skin appearance have not been elucidated. This study aimed to describe the skin barrier and skin tone...
Discussion: provides evidence of associations of facial skin status with environmental factors and individual lifestyles in a large population of Chinese people, and reviews a number of relevant studies with the molecular mechanisms.
Bullous Pemphigoid vs. Atopic Dermatitis | CCID
Type 2 inflammation is characterized by Th2 cells, innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) and type 2 cytokines. Allergens, infection and pollutants can derive type 2 responses and promote secretion of Th2...
Conclusions: TSLP was significantly higher in blister fluids and skin lesions of BP, suggesting that it might contribute to the pathogenesis of BP. BP exhibited a similar type 2 immune response and a slight difference in cells infiltrations with AD.
Contribution of Patch Tests with Occupational Handled Products in the Diagnosis of Occupational Contact Dermatitis: A 10-year Review
Source : https://www.hindawi.com/journals/drp/2022/6768932/
Introduction . Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is a common occupational disease. Its diagnosis is essentially based on interrogation and patch tests. However, commercially available batteries are sometimes not appropriate for...
Conclusion: This study has shown that patch tests with handled products in the workplace provide solid arguments in favor of the professional origin of ACD. For 19 patients, tests for manipulated products had added value since the EBS was negative. With the appearance of new professional agents leading to the increased prevalence of ACD, the...
