Discussion: Children with AD have unique and increased OOP expenses that are associated with significant disease burden. Strategies are needed to reduce OOP costs and improve clinical outcomes in children with AD.
Proactive versus Rank-Down Topical Corticosteroid Therapy for Maintenance of Remission in Pediatric Atopic Dermatitis: A Randomized, Open-Label, Active-Controlled, Parallel-Group Study (Anticipate Study)
Source : https://www.mdpi.com/2077-0383/11/21/6477/htm
Topical corticosteroids are used as first-line treatment for atopic dermatitis (AD). Regarding the maintenance of remission achieved by topical corticosteroids, no previous studies have compared proactive therapy with rank-down therapy....
Conclusions: In children with moderate to severe AD in remission, PA therapy with a very strong TCS may prevent the worsening of itching (as measured by the NRS itching score) observed with RD therapy. The two maintenance strategies appear to be equally safe. These findings suggest that PA therapy may be preferable to RD therapy for itch...

Barbara Honig3yrUltimately, the goal should be to reduce itching and clear skin as quickly as possible in order to minimize the overall steroid potency and length of treatment in all AD Show More
Ultra-processed foods and allergic symptoms among children and adults in the United States: A population-based analysis of NHANES 2005-2006

DesignThere is a strong correlation between dietary intake and allergic diseases. Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are gradually becoming dominant worldwide and causing health problems for children and adults. We hope to...
Conclusions: Our results suggested that UPFs assessed by the NOVA system were associated with IgE, current asthma in children, and eczema in girls. These results further support the need to test the association of modern dietary patterns with allergic symptoms.
Effects of Natural Polyphenols on Skin and Hair Health: A Review
Source : https://www.mdpi.com/1420-3049/27/22/7832/htm
The skin is the largest organ of the body and plays multiple essential roles, ranging from regulating temperature, preventing infections, to ultimately affecting human health. A hair follicle is a...
Discussion: It is important to assess the effectiveness of polyphenolic compounds against skin and hair diseases applied systemically and/or topically. Despite the fact that polyphenols are multi-potent compounds that can be used in the treatment of a wide spectrum of diseases, including skin and hair diseases, some properties may limit their...
Association between childhood maltreatment and atopy in the UK: A population based retrospective cohort study
Source : https://www.thelancet.com/journals/eclinm/article/PIIS2589-5370(22)00460-6/fulltext
Considering the substantial health burden associated with childhood maltreatment, it is important to implement public health policies aimed at enhancing: 1) detection and primary prevention of childhood maltreatment, 2) secondary...
Discussion: Our study found that exposure to childhood maltreatment was associated with an increased risk of developing atopic disease. We also found a greater incidence rate of atopic disease in female patients exposed to childhood maltreatment in comparison to males.
