Atopic dermatitis is a common skin disease characterized by loss of skin integrity. Risk and severity have been associated with genetic variation especially with respect to the filaggrin gene, suggesting...
Discussion: SNPs in Group 1 were found to be associated with greater healing and repair of the skin; these are likely to assist with wound repair and re-epithelization. On the other hand, SNPs in Groups 2 and 3 resulted in worse skin outcomes, so healing may require longer duration.
Race, Insurance Type Among Predictors of Depressive Symptoms in Atopic Dermatitis
A majority of patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) experience depressive symptoms, with several variables shown to increase risk of adverse mental health outcomes. Study findings were published in the Journal...
Discussion: Most patients with atopic dermatitis had flunctuating levels of depressive symptoms, with having public or no insurance, more severe itch, and skin pain cited as additional predictors of adverse mental health outcomes.

Background and aim: To analyse the sensitisation profile to molecular components of mites allergens with the use of ALEX2 Allergy Explorer test in Atopic dermatitis (AD) patients. Method: The compl...
Conclusion: In patients with severe AD, we demonstrated a higher incidence of sensitisation in all monitored components of mites in contrast to patients with mild form.
Childhood maltreatment is not associated with atopic dermatitis in adults: results from a cross-sectional population-based cohort study - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35920760/
This is the first study investigating the association of CM with AD in adults. CM was common in the present general population sample, emphasizing that CM is an important public...
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that CM is not a risk factor for AD. It might be hypothesized that AD severity is a crucial outcome, and that CM history is a factor with impact on disease severity and course rather than a risk factor for the development of AD.
