Psoriasis im JDDG

Background and objectives Continuous biologic treatment is recommended for patients with psoriasis; however, treatment interruption in daily practice is inevitable. The impact of treatment interruption is difficult to study in a real-world setting. In Taiwan, biologics are reimbursed by the National Health Insurance for moderate-to-severe psoriasis for a 2-year course, followed by regulatory discontinuation. Thus, our study provides pragmatic data on the impact of the interruption of biologics t

Gluten-related disorders (GRDs) encompass a spectrum of clinical manifestations triggered by gluten ingestion in genetically susceptible individuals. These disorders include celiac disease (CD) and non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) and present with both intestinal and extraintestinal symptoms, including skin manifestations. Besides the well-known association between CD and dermatitis herpetiformis, considered as the cutaneous manifestation of CD, other dermatoses have been associated to GRDs.

Tuberculosis (TB) continues to be a leading cause of death in many countries, and also remains a significant concern in Germany, particularly due to migration. The diagnosis of rare cutaneous tuberculosis is challenging as it manifests in various clinical forms that resemble more common dermatological conditions. Especially in paucibacillary forms, gold-standard diagnostic tests may yield negative results, complicating the identification of the disease. Therefore, a strong clinical suspicion bas

Background and objectives Knowledge on patient care gaps of prurigo nodularis (PN) is limited. This retrospective chart review (ADVANCE PN) investigated unmet medical needs and gaps in diagnostics, treatment, and management of patients with PN in routine care in Germany.Patients and methods Medical records for adults newly diagnosed with PN between January 2012 and December 2022 from dermatologic clinics and office-based dermatologists were analyzed. Baseline demographics, treatment patterns, di

Background and objectives Flexible biologic therapy dosing regimens in psoriasis management are common, but data from routine care in Germany are scarce. This study evaluated treatment adjustments for biologic therapies commonly prescribed in Germany.Patients and methods Charts for up to 100 consecutive patients treated at 29 centers were reviewed. Data were extracted for adults (aged 18-65 years) with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis treated with adalimumab, guselkumab, ixekizumab, secukinum

Background and objective Erosions of the skin and mucous membranes with epidermal dysmaturation are a known side effect of cytostatic chemotherapy regimens and can also be observed during low-dose methotrexate (MTX) therapy. The study aimed to delineate the clinical and histopathological alterations.Patients and methods A database search of the archive for dermatopathology was conducted, identifying 22 patients who developed epidermal dysmaturation on low-dose MTX. Clinical and laboratory change

Objective To construct a predictive model for Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) based on clinical and ultrasonic characteristics in patients with plaque psoriasis (PsP).Patients and methods Demographic, clinical, and ultrasound data were collected from patients with PsP and PsA between May 2019 and December 2022.Results A total of 212 patients with PsP and 123 with PsA in the training cohort, whereas the validation cohort comprised 91 patients with PsP and 49 with PsA. The multivariate logistic regressi

Background and objectives Patients with cutaneous lymphomas (CL) are at an increased risk of developing secondary malignancies. This study aimed to assess the frequency of association between CL and Kaposi sarcoma (KS) and to identify factors that may promote the co-occurrence of these two diseases.Patients and methods On January 25, 2024, we conducted a systematic search of four electronic medical databases to identify all published cases of KS associated with CL. The clinical course and outcom

Background and objectives Mucosal lichen planus (LP) is a chronic inflammatory disease. The patient's journey can be arduous as diagnosis and therapy are challenging.Patients and methods In this cross-sectional study, a wide range of characteristics of the patient's journey were assessed and evaluated from a total of 72 patients with mucosal LP who were treated in the dermatology departments of six German university medical centers between 02/2022 and 07/2023.Results On average, 18.1 months elap

The vulva is a periorificial skin area and as such represents a transitional zone with unique functional and physiological characteristics. Knowledge of its anatomy is limited among both the general population and healthcare professionals, and unrealistic expectations of normal proportions are common. Ignorance of anatomical variations can cause unnecessary anxiety. In Germany, specialists in gynecology and obstetrics most commonly treat neoplastic vulvar dermatoses, while chronic inflammatory d

Background and objectives Psoriasis vulgaris is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease, associated with multiple cardiovascular comorbidities, which can ultimately lead to increased mortality. Dermatological rehabilitation programs represent an additional therapeutic option in patients with psoriasis besides the classical outpatient or inpatient management. This study aimed to investigate the impact of dermatological rehabilitation on cardiovascular risk factors, cardiorespiratory fitness an
