Conclusion: Our data suggest that skin protection training during apprenticeship reduces the risk of OHE in hairdressers. The lack of primary prevention of OHE in hairdressing vocational schools may be a missed opportunity in the prevention of the disease.

In a large observational study, a positive association was found between vaccine-related aluminum exposure and persistent asthma. While recognizing the small effect sizes identified and the potential for unmeasured confounding,...
Discussion: Among children with eczema, vaccine-associated aluminum was positively associated with persistent asthma (aHR 1.26 per 1 mg increase in aluminum, 95% CI 1.07, 1.49); a positive association was also detected among children without eczema (aHR 1.19, 95% CI 1.14, 1.25).
Skin Biomarkers Found to Predict Development of Pediatric Atopic Dermatitis
Significant alterations were observed in lipid levels and other skin biomarkers for infants who later developed atopic dermatitis (AD) vs those who did not, according to study findings published recently...
Discussion: Between the 2 cohorts, significant alterations were observed for 4 lipid markers, with P levels shown to be significantly lower in children who developed AD vs children who did not (median 240 vs 540 pmol/mg; P
