I trattamenti di tipo fisico rappresentano uno dei capisaldi nell’armamentario terapeutico a disposizione del dermatologo, essendo la cute un organo direttamente accessibile dall’esterno. Le sue indicazioni spaziano, a seconda della tecnica utilizzata, dalle neoformazioni benigne e/o maligne a svariate dermatosi, fino ad applicazioni di tipo estetico. Grazie alle continue innovazioni in ambito tecnologico, alle procedure già; consolidate da decenni di esperienza si sono affiancate negli ultimi anni nuove metodiche sempre più sofisticate, selettive e sicure (Tabella 17.1). Gran parte di tali metodiche possono essere svolte a livello ambulatoriale.

The Quality of Life Impact of Acne and Rosacea Compared to Other Major Medical Conditions

June 2014 · Journal of Drugs in Dermatology

Acne and rosacea cause significant negative impact on quality of life. There is limited information comparing the health-related quality of life (HRQL) impact associated with acne and rosacea to other patient populations. PURPOSE: We review available literature to assess the HRQL impact of acne and rosacea and compare them with major medical conditions. METHODS: A PubMed search identified studies ... [Show full abstract] that utilized the Short Form 36 (SF-36), the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), and the willingness-to-pay (WTP) metric to assess the HRQL impact of acne and rosacea. These data were compared to HRQL values for other diseases. RESULTS: The HRQL impact of acne is similar to asthma, epilepsy, diabetes, back pain, arthritis, and coronary heart disease using SF-36 data. DLQI scores for acne ranged from 2 to 17.7 and for rosacea ranged from 4.3 to 17.3; the DLQI scores for psoriasis ranged from 1.7 to 18.2. WTP data identified ranged widely for both acne and rosacea. LIMITATIONS: There was limited broadly generalizable data for acne and rosacea. CONCLUSIONS: Acne and rosacea impact HRQL to a similar degree as other major medical conditions by indirect comparison to psoriasis, a skin condition causing significant disability, and by direct comparison for acne. In the setting of limited health care resources, allocation should be grounded in the evidence that acne and rosacea are not trivial in their effects. J Drugs Dermatol. 2014;13(6):692-697.

A Case of Concurrent Vitiligo and Psoriasis

August 2009 · Annals of Dermatology

Vitiligo and psoriasis are common dermatoses that occur in 1~3% and 0.5% of the general population, respectively. There have been several reports of the concurrence of these diseases in the English medical literature. Yet the pathogenesis of the association between these two dermatoses is still unknown. Psoriasis may occur coincidentally with vitiligo and it may be strictly confined to the ... [Show full abstract] vitiliginous patches or it may occur elsewhere. Despite the reports in the English literature, there has been only one case of vitiligo and psoriasis coexisting in the same patient and these diseases occurred in separate sites in the Korean dermatologic literature. A 30-year-old man recently presented with spreading vitiligo on the right forearm and a 3-month history of guttate psoriasis on the left forearm. He had a family history of psoriasis without any history of associated autoimmune disease. Herein, we report on a case of coexisting vitiligo and psoriasis in the same individual at different sites and we review the relevant literature.

Clinical Aspects of Topical Retinoids

February 1993 · Skin Pharmacology

Topical retinoids have been employed in dermatology since the 1960s to treat a wide variety of cutaneous disorders. This review focuses on three areas in which retinoids have had their greatest impact: acne vulgaris, photoaging and cutaneous neoplasia. The pharmacology of the available topical retinoids, their mechanism of action and the history of their use in these disorders are discussed.

[Show full abstract] revisaron los expedientes del archivo del Servicio de Dermatología. Los pacientes se clasificaron en grados de obesidad con base en el índice de masa corporal. Resultados: de 3,293 pacientes estudiados, más de la mitad de los casos tenía sobrepeso. Casi 20% se ubicó en obesidad grado I, 9.6% con obesidad grado II y 6% con obesidad grado III. Las dermatosis encontradas fueron: acantosis nigricans, tumores benignos (acrocor-dones y fibromas péndulos), hiperqueratosis en la planta del pie, onicocriptosis, infección bacteriana, intertrigo y psoriasis vulgar. Conclusiones: la dermatosis más frecuente en consulta relacionada con la obesidad fue la acantosis nigricans, seguida de acrocordones e hiperqueratosis plantar, lo cual concuerda con la bibliografía.

Paraneoplastic Syndromes of the Skin

January 2011

Peter Fritsch

Cutaneous paraneoplasias include a number of dermatoses which are associated in a variable degree with internal malignancies. They are a very heterogenous group of diseases, differing greatly in their clinical appearance and pathogenesis (which is not well understood in most of them). Most of the paraneoplasias are very rare. Some of the more recently described entities promise a better insight ... [Show full abstract] in the mechanisms of cancer pathophysiology. Dermatology has taken a keen interest in the paraneoplasias, particularly because of the expectation that they may lead to earlier detection of malignancies at a time when they are more likely to be curable.
