The long-term follow-up of chronic urticaria (CU) is important to ensure the adequate treatment of patients. Olopatadine hydrochloride is one of the second-generation nonsedating antihistamines. This study was designed to assess the optimal dose of olopatadine to suppress symptoms of chronic urticarial itch in well-controlled patients. After CU patients were treated with 10 mg olopatadine, patients having a visual analog scale (VAS) itch score of less than 20 were randomly allocated into one of three groups: 10 mg/day (n = 35), 5 mg/day (n = 30), or no medication (n = 32). The suppressive effects of both the 5 mg and 10 mg olopatadine treatments on the VAS itch score were more significant and longer lasting over a period of 4 weeks than the no-medication treatment. Both the 5-mg group and the 10-mg group showed improved urticarial symptoms and maintained their VAS itch score within normal limits compared to the no-medication group. The differences between the 5-mg and 10-mg groups were not significant. These results demonstrate that treatment with olopatadine at a dose of 5 mg once daily is effective and safe for the management and prevention of CU symptoms for itch in well-controlled patients.

We report the case of a 41-year-old female showing severe hair loss approximately 90% after the use of a hair dye. These symptoms developed six days after the use of a hair dye containing PPD. A patch test showed a (++) reaction at 48 h to 1% PPD in petrolatum, whereas all metals and white petrolatum were negative. She was therefore diagnosed with contact dermatitis due to PPD, resulting in hair loss. The skin lesions gradually improved after starting treatment with the systemic corticosteroids. The possibility that allergic contact dermatitis from hair dyes may be responsible for telogen effluvium should always be considered in a patient with increased hair loss.

... Only three previous case reports have described intraosseous involvement of tufted angiomas. [12][13][14] The first case reported on a 73-year-old patient with eye pain, swelling, and compromised vision secondary to a large tufted angioma with orbital and cranial bone involvement. 12 The second case reported on a tufted angioma in the maxillary bone of a 10-year-old child. ...

... Administering antihistamines-We tested five antihistamines: OLO, LVO, BIL, RUP, and DES. The dosage in horses was set at 10 times the standard human dose used in previous studies [6,8,11,16], that is, 50 mg/horse of OLO (Allelock® Tablets; Kyowa Kirin Co. Ltd., Tokyo, Japan), 50 mg/horse of LVO (Xyzal® Tablets; GlaxoSmithKline K.K., Tokyo, Japan), 200 mg/horse of BIL (Bilanoa® tablets; Taiho Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd, Tokyo, Japan), 100 mg/horse of RUP (Rupafin® Tablets; Teikoku Seiyaku Co. Ltd, Higashi Kagawa, Japan), and 50 mg/horse of DES (Desalex® Tablets; Organon, Tokyo, Japan). The tablets were crushed and suspended in 500 mL of water and were administered individually via nasogastric tubes, which were then flushed immediately with 500 mL of water. ...

... Currently, the concern with hair colour as well as length, shape, and density is higher than ever, as society focuses more and more on beauty and youthfulness. Hair colouring, permanent waving, or straightening rely on aggressive chemical and/or physical processes that can result in acute or chronic deleterious traumas, such as hair loss or even cancer development [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. Moreover, these procedures cause split, dry, and dull hair due to cumulative damage to the fibre structure [24,25]. ...

... Most Japanese patients with DH show unique features, including a high frequency of fibrillar IgA deposition in the papillary dermis, rare occurrence of GSE, absence of the HLA-DQ2/DQ8 haplotype and rare associations with autoimmune disease and lymphoma, although the histological findings appear to be similar to those of granulartype DH (3,4). Furthermore, as reported previously, these patients appear to have IgA antibodies to eTG, but not tTG (5). We refer to this condition as "fibrillar-type DH". ...
