We wished to analyze prevalence yield selected modalities in patients with dermatomyositis. performed a retrospective analysis 2 large US cohorts comprising 400 patients. measured frequency tests used search for malignancy. Patients biopsy-confirmed were identified. Prespecified clinical laboratory factors tested For...
Chronic prurigo (CPG) is a highly burdensome pruritic disease characterized by chronic itch, prolonged scratching behavior and the development of localized or generalized hyperkeratotic pruriginous lesions.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) and bullous pemphigoid (BP) are inflammatory skin diseases in which patients often report intense pruritus significant quality of life (QOL) impact. Although they have differences classical presentation (eczematous eruption versus urticaria blisters) population characteristics (young-to middle aged persons vs. elderly), early stages BP can appear similar to AD clinically histologically. We wanted explore whether there were similarities or QOL Our observational cohort...
