Smoking and obesity are associated with chronic hand eczema and severity of hand eczema: Data from the Dutch general population

Abstract

2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, artificial nail modelling systems, case report, dental plastic fillings, occupational contact dermatitis 2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA; CAS No. 868-77-9) is a plastic material used in printing industry, artificial nail modelling systems such as gel nails and long-lasting nail polish, and in dental plastic fillings.HEMA is applied in a viscous monomeric form and cured into a solid polymeric structure with ultraviolet light. HEMA as a monomer is strongly allergenic but is considered safe once cured. 1 CASE REPORTA 61-year-old woman presented because of a one-sided facial rash that had occurred following dental plastic fillings for gingival recession. She had no history of previous allergies, hand eczema, atopic dermatitis, and did not use any prescription medicine. She had for 28 years

Correlation between serum 25(OH)D levels with severity of work-related hand eczema among healthcare workers: a cross-sectional study

“…Research by Loman et al . 23 found that overweight and obesity BMI may have a positive relationship with the incidence of HE. Obesity and high waist circumference were shown to be related to the incidence of HE.…”

“…Increased visceral fat can work as an endocrine organ that activates macrophages and releases pro-inflammatory cytokines that can lead to immune dysregulation. 23 …”

“…The average BMI of subjects was 23.35 kg/m2, with 70.5% of subjects belonged to the overweight category. Research by Loman et al 23 found that overweight and obesity BMI may have a positive relationship with the incidence of HE. Obesity and high waist circumference were shown to be related to the incidence of HE.…”

“…Increased visceral fat can work as an endocrine organ that activates macrophages and releases pro-inflammatory cytokines that can lead to immune dysregulation. 23 The severity of HE in this study was measured using the HECSI score. The median HECSI score was 12 which indicated mild HE, with a minimum score of 5 and a maximum of 41.…”
