Aim To investigate whether breastfeeding or cow’s milk (bottle formula) has an influence on the course of and onset of atopic dermatitis symptoms. Three feeding modalities were evaluated. These are ‘breastfed,’ ‘bottle-fed,’ or ‘breast and bottle-fed.’ Patients and methods Medical records from general practice of patients aged 2 years or less with diagnosis of eczema, atopic dermatitis, atopic eczema, and infantile eczema were reviewed. A cohort of 131 patients was divided into three categories: (a) breastfed, (b) bottle-fed, and (c) breast and bottle-fed. These data were studied according to the data recorded at the 6-week infant health checkup. The age of the child at their first eczematous diagnosis was then calculated in accordance with their date of birth. Result New eczema diagnosis showed a similar trend in ‘breast-fed’ babies; however, onset of eczema was significantly delayed in the ‘breast and bottle-fed’ group when compared with bottle-fed alone. Most bottle-fed babies (58% of patients) were diagnosed at 31–60 days, whereas most ‘breast and bottle-fed’ babies (56%) were diagnosed at 91–120 days (P≥0.0001). Conclusion Babies from the two groups (‘breast’ and ‘breast and bottle-fed’) experienced a delayed onset of their eczema compare with ‘bottle-fed’ infant group. Breastfeeding can delay the onset of atopic dermatitis.","PeriodicalId":40542,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Dermatology and Venereology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43535990","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Relationship between lipids and acne has been studied, and significant dyslipidemic findings were reported. In androgenetic alopecia (AGA), the role of androgens is not fully established, and nonandrogenic mechanisms may be involved. Objective The aim was to study lipid profile in patients with psoriasis, acne, and AGA and its relation to severity for a possible role in the etiopathogenesis of these diseases. Materials and methods The study included 25 patients with psoriasis, where the severity of psoriasis was evaluated by psoriasis area and severity index score; 25 patients with acne, where the severity of acne was evaluated by Global Acne Grading System; 25 patients with AGA, who were evaluated by the Norwood-Hamilton scale for males and Ludwig scale for females; and 25 healthy controls. Detailed history, clinical examination, BMI, and laboratory estimation of serum lipids (cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol) were performed for all paricipants. Results There was a significant increase in low-density lipoprotein in each of psoriasis, acne, and AGA groups as compared with controls (P<0.05). Cholesterol and triglycerides were significantly higher only in psoriasis compared with controls (P<0.05). High-density lipoprotein was significantly lower in patients with psoriasis, acne, and AGA in comparison with controls (P<0.05), and it was negatively related to severity in psoriasis and acne. Conclusion Psoriasis, acne, and AGA are associated with atherogenic lipid profile, being more prominent in psoriasis and not related to known atherosclerotic risk factors except obesity. Patients with psoriasis and less likely acne and AGA may be at risk of atherosclerosis and consequently cardiovascular disease (CVD).","PeriodicalId":40542,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Dermatology and Venereology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44124072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

SAA levels in the blood have been reported to be elevated in case of inflammation, infections, neoplasia, and tissue injury. This study measured the SAA in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) and evaluated the association between the severity of AD and their values. Patients and methods A total of 52 patients with AD (22 males and 30 females) were involved in our study. Subjects were characterized as having atopic eczema (eAD; n=25) extrinsic type AD or nonatopic (iAD; n=27) intrinsic AD by serum immunoglobulin E level. Serum soluble IL-2R (IL-2R) and SAA levels were measured. Results The serum SAA levels was detectable in all patients with AD, showing significantly higher levels (P=0.026) in the patients with eAD (207 pg/ml; 95% confidence interval: 172–242 pg/ml) compared with those with iAD (144 pg/ml; 95% confidence interval: 116–178 pg/ml). The serum SAA levels were significantly correlated with eosinophil counts and sIL-2R levels and showed a tendency to correlate with SCORAD index and serum immunoglobulin E levels. Conclusion These results suggest SAA level as a parameter of AD activity and may support its possible role in the pathogenesis of AD.","PeriodicalId":40542,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Dermatology and Venereology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44934923","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, the aim was to investigate whether isotretinoin has any effects on spermatogenesis and, if present, whether these effects are dose linked or not. Materials and methods Twenty-two rats were divided into four groups. The first group (n=5) was administered 7.5 mg/kg/day and the second group (n=5) was administered 30 mg/kg/day isotretinoin dissolved in sunflower oil orally for 4 weeks. Group 3, the sham group (n=6), was administered only sunflower oil. Group 4 was the control group and was administered standard feed and water. At the end of the fourth week, all rats were killed and histologic investigation was performed. Sperm motility, sperm count, sperm vitality, seminiferous tubule diameters, germinal epithelium thickness, and apoptotic indices were assessed. Follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone (LH), and testosterone levels were measured in serum. Results There was a significant degree of reduction in sperm motility, sperm viability, seminiferous tubule diameters, and germinal epithelium thickness in the first and second groups compared with the control group. Sperm count was found to be significantly reduced in the second group compared with the other groups. Follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone values were not observed to change in all groups. Conclusion This study concluded that both high-dose and low-dose isotretinoin disrupted spermatogenesis; however, it did not affect the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis.","PeriodicalId":40542,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Dermatology and Venereology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45243601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is usually manifested as patchy areas of complete hair loss on the scalp and sometimes with or without other body parts that can progress to complete loss of all body hair. This disorder affects all age groups, with a higher incidence in children and adolescents. AA is an autoimmune disorder characterized by hair cycle dysfunction with peribulbar and perifollicular mononuclear cell infiltrates. Aim To estimate interleukin-17A (IL-17A) serum level in patients with AA as well as study its relationship with the age of the patients, severity, and recurrence of disease. Patients and method s The study was carried out in Outpatient Clinic of Dermatology, Venerology, and Andrology Department, Zagazig University Hospitals, on 45 patients with AA of both sexes. Results were compared with 45 healthy participants with matched age (5–50 years). Results The present study included two groups: patient group included 45 patients diagnosed clinically with AA and control group included 45 age-matched and sex-matched healthy individuals.

Background Although links between ejaculatory control or intravaginal ejaculatory latency time and female sexual function have been reported in the past, little research has focused on the effect of ejaculation on female satisfaction and orgasm. Methods The study was carried out on 221 of married women aged 18-50+ years. The tool used was a self-report questionnaire written in English and translated into Arabic. Results More intense orgasm and more satisfaction was reported by 58.4% of women if husbands ejaculated intravaginally without a condom. Among participants 47.1% didn’t perceive the quantity of husbands ejaculate as an expression of their own sexual attractiveness. Male condom was used by 34.8% of husbands and frequency of reaching orgasm was lower in women of these men. Although use of condom prolongs intravaginal latency time, 60% of participants were unsatisfied with their sexual life if husbands ejaculate in condom. The commonest coital frequency was once/week (45.2%). Dyspareunia was a complaint of 40.7% of participants. Coital frequency declined with advance in age, vaginal intercourse was the preferred sexual activity in almost all age groups and only 35.7% of the participants could reach orgasm in almost each intercourse most commonly because of life problems and work tensions Conclusion Intravaginal male ejaculation may give women more intense orgasm and satisfaction.","PeriodicalId":40542,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Dermatology and Venereology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41700576","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its prevalence is ∼2% among the general population. NS sizes vary from 2 to 10 cm in diameter, but more extensive lesions have been described. Patients turn to a dermatologist when NS is located in aesthetically significant areas owing to cosmetic problems. Surgical methods for removing NS are associated with a risk of scarring. The use of various types of lasers for the treatment of NS has allowed successful results. However, it is accompanied by adverse effects such as scars, postinflammatory hyperpigmentation, and relapses. Our experience in treating benign melanocytic skin lesions using copper vapor laser (CVL) radiation, which allows selective heating of the pigment and blood vessels, gives us grounds for using CVL to treat NS. For the first time, we describe an innovative method of treating NS with dual-wavelength CVL radiation. A case of NS (medium size 50×40 mm) located in the cheek area was treated in a 39-year-old fair-skinned patient with type II skin, according to Fitzpatrick. NS treatment was carried out with the following parameters of the CVL (Yakhroma-Med model, P.N. Lebedev Physical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences): average power 0.6–0.8 W, with a power ratio of 3:2, at wavelengths of 511 and 578 nm. The pulse duration is 20 ns, the repetition rate is 16.6 kHz, the exposure time is 0.2–0.3 s, and the diameter of the light spot on the skin is 1 mm. After six treatments, the color of the hyperpigmented area, dark macules, and papules were eliminated. The follow-up period was 24 months. Medium-sized NS treatment with CVL provided complete elimination of the pathological focus and provided excellent cosmetic results. No relapse was observed within 24 months after treatment.","PeriodicalId":40542,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Dermatology and Venereology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70717294","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
