“…Skin disorders on the hands, especially irritant contact dermatitis, were found in 45% of adults with a previous history of AD. 8,16 Hand dermatitis can be triggered by consistently wet skin, for instance, from washing with soap, detergent, or disinfectant. A similar situation can also be encountered in patients who have high water exposure frequencies at work; thus, hand dermatitis is difficult to cure and can interfere with their work.…”

“…AD patients have lower thresholds for irritants such as soaps, detergents, acids, alkalis, dust, and water; therefore, these irritants should be avoided. 2,8,16 In the management of AD patients, one can receive more than one type of therapy. Systemic therapy is usually administered to AD patients who are persistent, have extensive lesions, and are unresponsive to other therapies.…”

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic skin inflammatory disease characterized by mild to severe itching, relapses, and mostly appears in infants and children. Although there have been current advances in the management of AD, satisfactory treatment has not been achieved. Purpose: To evaluate the treatment of patients with AD in order to provide better management. Methods: A retrospective study of newly diagnosed AD patients at the Allergy and Immunology Division of the Outpatient Unit, Dermatology and Venereology Clinic, Prof. Dr. R.D. Kandou Hospital Manado from 2019-2021. Result: Antihistamines were the most widely prescribed medication, administered to 108 patients of all patients’ visits, and 94 (87%) of them were given cetirizine (the most widely prescribed type). Emollients were used adequately; they included petroleum jelly in 82 patients (90.1%) and urea 10% cream in 9 patients (9.9%). Conclusion: There were 108 AD patients in Dermatology and Venereology Clinic, Prof. Dr. R.D. Kandou Hospital Manado from 2019-2021. Treatment with antihistamine and emollient therapy gave satisfactory results.

“…1B). 25,26 AIP is classified as either overt (a heterozygote who was previously or is currently symptomatic) or latent (a heterozygote who has never displayed symptoms). 27 Acute attacks can be provoked by exposure to drugs that induce heme biosynthesis in the liver, as well as certain drugs that induce the CYP detoxification system, excessive alcohol consumption, caloric restriction, stress, infection, certain hormonal factors, and increased Hepatic Porphyrias in Detail Balogun and Nejak-Bowen production of hepatic ALAS1 in addition to other environmental factors.…”

Hepatic porphyrias are a group of metabolic disorders that are characterized by overproduction and accumulation of porphyrin precursors in the liver. These porphyrins cause neurologic symptoms as well as cutaneous photosensitivity, and in some cases patients can experience life-threatening acute neurovisceral attacks. This review describes the acute hepatic porphyrias in detail, including acute intermittent porphyria, hereditary coproporphyria, and variegate porphyria, as well as the hepatic porphyrias with cutaneous manifestations such as porphyria cutanea tarda and hepatoerythropoietic porphyria. Each section will cover disease prevalence, clinical manifestations, and current therapies, including strategies to manage symptoms. Finally, we review new and emerging treatment modalities, including gene therapy through use of adeno-associated vectors and chaperone therapies such as lipid nanoparticle and small interfering RNA-based therapeutics.
