Allergic Contact Dermatitis in Refractory Brick Production Worker: A Case Report
In this study, we investigated a 42-year-old man working in a refractory brick (RB) production line who had allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) due to skin exposure to chromium (Cr). He...
Conclusions: Refractory bricks have different compounds that can withstand various temperature ranges. Cr is one of the additives in the production of RB, which can cause ACD in exposed workers. ACD results from a cell-induced immune hypersensitivity reaction (type 4), which is less common in adults than irritant contact dermatitis. Temporary...
An Overview of the Treatment Landscape for Patients With Atopic Dermatitis: Dr Jerry Bagel
A better understanding of the pathogenesis of eczema has brought new biologic agents and oral medications to market, which have proved effective in treating atopic dermatitis (AD), explained Jerry Bagel,...
Conclusions: DiscussionDespite a recent influx of new treatments, it is crucial to remind patients there is no cure for atopic dermatitis and follow-up care is important, explained Jerry Bagel, MD, director of the Eczema Treatment Center of New Jersey.
Eczema as a protective factor for brain cancer: a meta-analysis - BMC Cancer
Source : https://bmccancer.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12885-022-10471-0
Background Brain cancer is one of the most aggressive cancer types owing to poor treatment effects. Epidemiological studies have demonstrated that allergies may increase the disease risk. Therefore, this study...
Conclusions: The strong correlation between eczema and the reduced risk of brain cancer was observed in people over the age of 16, but not in the age of 16, which indicated that eczema may be considered as a potential protective factor when assessing the risk of brain cancer in population aged over 16 years. At the same time, eczema was...

We identified a health literacy deficit, and its association with a low SES and poor health outcomes among patients with multiple atopic diseases. Further research is warranted to utilize a...
Conclusions: We identified a health literacy deficit, and its association with a low SES and poor health outcomes among patients with multiple atopic diseases. Further research is warranted to utilize a more extensive assessment to measure health literacy and include more health outcomes, such as treatment adherence and disease control.
