The prognostic value of the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-lymphocyte ratio and monocyte-lymphocyte ratio in patients with melanoma has yielded controversial results in the literature. A retrospective single-centre cohort study was conducted from 1998 to 2020, including patients diagnosed with invasive melanoma. A total of 2,721 patients wer...
Background
Dupilumab has shown to be an effective and safe treatment for patients with moderate‐to‐severe atopic dermatitis (AD).
Objective
To evaluate the predictive factors of response (PRF) in patients with moderate‐to‐severe AD treated with dupilumab.
Methods
Observational, retrospective and multicentre study conducted on adult patients diagn...
JAK inhibitors target specific inflammatory cytokines involved in various inflammatory diseases. Four molecules have been approved for dermatological use: upadacitinib, baricitinib, abrocitinib and topical ruxolitinib. Off-label prescriptions for other dermatological conditions have been reported. We conducted a narrative review of the literature t...

Background:
There is limited information on microsatellite survival outcomes in melanoma patients.
Objective:

Dear Editor,
Pemphigoid gestationis (PG) usually occurs during the second or third trimester of pregnancy. Although the clinical course may differ, spontaneous improvement during late gestation is common. However, PG typically relapses at the time of delivery. Recurrence in successive pregnancies is frequent, sometimes with an earlier onset and sev...
Rituximab, a monoclonal antibody targeting the CD-20 molecule, was originally manufactured as an intravenous infusion (IV). In addition, a subcutaneous (SC) formulation has been produced with a recombinant hyaluronidase that creates an area in which a concentrated and fixed dose of rituximab can be injected (or infused using a syringe pump), into t...
Given recent developments in the treatment of metastatic melanoma, early detection of disease recurrence is crucial. The aim of this single-centre retrospective cohort study was to investigate the impact of the initial stage of primary melanoma on the pattern and timing of disease recurrence and post-recurrence survival. Patients diagnosed with cut...

Dear Editor,
Intertrigo is an inflammatory process that most frequently affects the flexural regions of the skin. Secondary cutaneous infections are commonly observed in conjunction with intertrigo. Candida species are responsible for the majority of superficial fung...
Background:
Data on the clinical patterns and histopathology of SARS-CoV-2 related skin lesions, as well as on their relationship with the severity of COVID-19 are limited.
Methods and materials:
Retrospective analysis of a prospectively collected cohort of patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection in a teaching hospital in Barcelona, Spain, from 1 Apr...
Lichen planus pemphigoides (LPP) is a rare autoimmune subepidermal blistering disease characterized by the coexistence of both lichen planus and bullous pemphigoid or mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP) features. Frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) is a scarring alopecia, generally considered as a form of lichen planopilaris. Case 1 was a 70‐year‐old wom...
Hailey‐Hailey disease (HHD), is an autosomal dominant genodermatosis with a chronic and refractory clinical course that greatly affects the patient’s quality of life. Recently, the usefulness of Apremilast has been described in a small case series.1,2 In this study, we sought to assess it in our patients.
Chronic prurigo is a chronic skin condition characterized by intensely pruritic skin lesions, which has been associated with multiple underlying comorbidities. A recent study by Larson et al., including 695 patients with chronic prurigo of nodular type demonstrated a significant association with skin cancer, hematological malignancies and cancer of...
Background:
There is no consensus on the imaging tests that should be performed at the initial staging of melanoma patients.
Objective:
To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of 4 imaging studies for the initial staging of melanoma patients.
Methods:
Cross-sectional study with prospectively collected data, from January 2011 to April 2017, includi...
We present the case of a woman in her 50s with past medical history significant for psoriasis treated with methotrexate on a stable dose for the past 20 years, diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease. In the setting of a long flight, dehydration and non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug consumption, the patient presented to the emergency depart...
Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is an inflammatory, noninfectious neutrophilic dermatosis that presents as painful nodules or pustules that rupture and form a necrotic ulcer with an irregular undermined violaceous border. The full list of differential diagnoses must be considered and excluded by clinicians before diagnosing PG to avoid erroneous treatmen...
Acute kidney injury (AKI) associated with cardiac surgery is a common postoperative complication that increases the morbidity and mortality substantially. However, there is limited information of AKI after cardiac surgery in our institution.
We conducted a prospective, observational, and longitudinal analysis of adult patients that underwent to car...
