Shalaby, Heba Mahmoud Diab","doi":"10.1007/s00403-024-03462-7","DOIUrl":"10.1007/s00403-024-03462-7","url":null,"abstract":"<div><p>Leprosy is a chronic, debilitating disease lacking a definitive diagnostic biomarker. Serum anti-phenolic glycolipid-I (PGL-I) IgM antibody level is considered an important diagnostic and prognostic marker for leprosy patients. However, there is limited evidence on the role of anti-PGL-I IgM antibody level as early predictive biomarker of subclinical infection among Egyptian household contacts of leprosy patients. This study investigates the relationship between specific leprosy risk factors, diagnostic parameters of eighty-three leprosy cases, and serum anti-PGL-I IgM antibody levels in their corresponding household contacts. Our results demonstrate that anti-PGL-I IgM antibody level was significantly higher among contacts when more than four residents shared the same room with a leprosy case (<i>p</i> = 0.032). Additionally, anti-PGL-I IgM antibody level markedly increased in contacts of leprosy cases with disabilities (<i>p</i> = 0.001) or damaged nerves (<i>p</i> = 0.001). Our ROC curve analysis of anti-PGL-I antibody level as a predictor of exposure or infection among contacts revealed a cut-off value of 0.1, with a sensitivity of 75.0% and a specificity of 54.5%, indicating that most exposed household contacts are correctly identified. The overall accuracy of the ROC curve analysis was 72.3%, highlighting the practical utility of anti-PGL-I antibody level as a predictor for exposure or infection among household leprosy contacts. In conclusion, seropositivity of anti-PGL-I antibodies (> 0.1) among household leprosy contacts may be associated with a higher leprosy exposure risk. Continuous monitoring of anti-PGL-I antibody level in household leprosy contacts may potentially contribute to early detection and management of leprosy.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8203,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Dermatological Research","volume":"317 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142596056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite its substantial burden, HS remains underdiagnosed and undertreated, particularly among marginalized populations. This study aimed to elucidate the primary social determinants of health (SDOH) and structural determinants of health (StDOH) influencing rates and patterns of screening for patients diagnosed with HS. Using data from the All of Us Research Program database, participants with HS were identified using ICD-10 codes and stratified based on various sociodemographic factors, including race, gender, and income. The primary outcome variables were participation in viral screening and disease screening among HS patients. Statistical analyses were performed to assess the relationship between sociodemographic factors and screening practices. Income and gender had significant impacts on screening practices. Higher-income patients were more likely to receive necessary disease screening and less likely to receive unnecessary disease screening compared to lower-income patients. Non-male patients had significantly higher rates of unnecessary disease and viral screening than male patients. While differences in screening practices within each income level were significant, there were no significant differences across different income brackets or racial groups. These findings suggest that subjectivity associated with individual physicians’ recommendations may contribute to disparities in screening outcomes, especially in lower-income and non-male HS patients. The study highlights the need for more clearly delineated screening guidelines and continued research on the role of SDOH in improving patient health outcomes.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8203,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Dermatological Research","volume":"316 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142581354","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

AD manifestations can impact variable anatomic regions, and involvement of the head and neck, a sensitive, hard-to-treat area, can negatively impact quality of life. In this post hoc analysis, we investigated response to rocatinlimab treatment across anatomic regions, including the head and neck. Least squares mean change from baseline to Week 56 in EASI score was analyzed by anatomic region (head and neck, trunk, upper extremities, or lower extremities) for patients with baseline moderate-to-severe AD in the respective anatomic region, using mixed models for repeated measures. Rocatinlimab groups were compared with placebo at Week 16. The proportion of patients achieving at least 75% reduction from baseline in EASI (EASI-75) was calculated. Probability of relapsing in EASI-75 during the off-treatment follow-up period (Weeks 36–56) was estimated using a Kaplan − Meier approach. At Week 16, decrease from baseline in mean EASI score was greater with all rocatinlimab regimens versus placebo across all anatomic regions for patients with baseline moderate-to-severe AD in the respective region (all <i>P</i> < 0.001). EASI scores continued to improve on treatment after Week 16 and were maintained during the off-treatment period across all regions. Among patients with baseline moderate-to-severe AD in the head and neck (n = 219; rocatinlimab, n = 174; placebo, n = 45), mean difference (rocatinlimab vs placebo) at Week 16 in LS mean percent change in head and neck EASI score ranged from − 30.4% to − 42.6% across treatment regimens. In patients who received rocatinlimab from the start of the trial, 47% − 71% achieved EASI-75 in the head and neck at Week 36. Among EASI-75 responders at Week 36, the probability of relapsing in EASI-75 in any region was low (< 25% in the head and neck) 20 weeks after treatment discontinuation until Week 56.</p><p>Rocatinlimab treatment led to durable improvements in AD across multiple anatomic regions, including the sensitive head and neck region.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":8203,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Dermatological Research","volume":"316 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00403-024-03426-x.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142581274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
