<title>Internet-Based Computer Tailored Feedback on Sunscreen Use</title>
<link>http://www.medsurfnews.com/contents/it/7253/display/internet-based-computer-tailored-feedback-on-sunscreen-use.aspx</link>
<description><![CDATA[Internet and computer tailored (CT) technology fosters the development of highly individualized health communication messages. A cross-sectional research showed that involvement with skin cancer was reflected in more positive beliefs toward sunscreen use, and that the CT Internet program was well accepted. Moreover, a pro-active approach is very well suited to reach various groups of people and is more likely to be successful than a reactive approach.

<title>Cryotherapy for Plantar Warts</title>
<link>http://www.medsurfnews.com/contents/it/7197/display/cryotherapy-for-plantar-warts.aspx</link>
<description><![CDATA[Vulgar plantar warts, a common disease above all during childhood, have in general two kinds of treatments: applications of salicylic acid or cryotherapy. In order to verify which of the two kinds of treatment is more effective, some Dutch researchers have randomized 250 subjects (43% of them was younger than 12 years old) affected by one or more vulgar warts with a diameter shorter than 1 cm: a group has been treated with liquid nitrogen every 2 weeks, another one with a daily application of salicylic acid at 40% and a third one received no treatment. ]]></description>

<title>Idiopathic aquagenic pruritus: efficacy of treatment with propranolol</title>
<link>http://www.medsurfnews.com/contents/it/6513/display/idiopathic-aquagenic-pruritus-efficacy-of-treatment-with-propranolol.aspx</link>
<description><![CDATA[Idiopathic aquagenic pruritus is a disabling disease which occurs after contact with water, involving intense itching without visible skin changes and without internal pathology nor drugs that can induce this symptom. The classical therapies are limited, including the addition of sodium bicarbonate to bath water, antihistaminics or phototherapy. In a study, published recently in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, Nosbaum et al report an improvement of more than 90% in 5/6 patients 3-month treated by propranolol with minimal side effects. This therapeutic effect of propranolol, β-receptor antagonist of adrenaline, suggests an inappropriate activation of the sympathetic nervous system in the occurrence of idiopathic aquagenic pruritus. ]]></description>

<title>New fast-working microscope to tackle melanoma</title>
<link>http://www.medsurfnews.com/contents/it/6496/display/new-fast-working-microscope-to-tackle-melanoma.aspx</link>
<description><![CDATA[A team of German researchers has developed a new type of microscope that could help us better understand skin conditions like melanoma.  The team, from the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Optics and Precision Engineering (IOF) in Jena, Germany, ascertain that the new device can produce high-resolution images of skin areas of any size, unlike conventional microscopes that are restricted to producing images of one small area at a time.

<title>Methotrexate and azathioprine for the treatment of atopic eczema</title>
<link>http://www.medsurfnews.com/contents/it/6409/display/methotrexate-and-azathioprine-for-the-treatment-of-atopic-eczema.aspx</link>
<description><![CDATA[Patients with severe atopic eczema may require prolonged treatment with large amounts of highly potent topical corticosteroids and/or systemic treatment. In an upcoming issue of The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, Schram et al show results of the first head-to-head comparison of azathioprine versus methotrexate for the treatment of patients with severe atopic eczema. The authors conclude that both methotrexate and azathioprine are effective and safe short-term treatment options for adult patients with severe atopic eczema. The results from this study justify treatment with these drugs when routine treatment is insufficient. Long-term follow-up of these patients is necessary to gather additional information.

<title>Association between obesity and atopic dermatitis in childhood: A case-control study</title>
<link>http://www.medsurfnews.com/contents/it/6299/display/association-between-obesity-and-atopic-dermatitis-in-childhood-a-case-control-study.aspx</link>
<description><![CDATA[Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder that has been increasing in prevalence throughout the world over the past 30 years. At the same time, the prevalence of obesity has increased by more than double in children and adolescents over the past 30 years. There is increasing evidence that obesity can have numerous effects on the immune system. However, it was unknown how obesity affects atopic dermatitis. In a recent study published in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology at www.jacionline.org, Silverberg et al investigated the predisposing effect that obesity in childhood might have toward the development of AD. The authors studied the cases of 414 children and adolescents with AD and 828 healthy kids of similar ages and analyzed information about their weight. The results found that obesity in children predisposes toward developing AD and increases the severity of AD and the frequency of visits to the doctor for AD. Obesity predisposed toward AD when it occurred up to age 5, and was prolonged for more than 2.5 years. These findings suggest that weight loss in obese children may protect against or improve atopic dermatitis. Increased obesity in children may be a contributing factor in the rising prevalence of AD over the past few decades.
