The pathogenesis of the disease is now better understood but the world wide prevalence of atopic dermatitis has increased two to threefold over the past 30 years. Atopic dermatitis affects considerably quality of life as well in children as in adults. Important clues in the understanding of the pathogenesis of the disease are genetic factors, skin barrier dysfunction and immune dysregulation. Triggers of atopic dermatitis are well identified :food and airborne allergens, contact allergens, skin microorganisms, irritants and psychological stress.

Dermo-cosmétiques et prévention du vieillissement cutané

Skin aging is the result of the addition of intrinsic aging (chronological aging) and extrinsic aging induced by environmental factors among whose ultraviolet radiation plays a predominant role (actinic aging). The physiopathological mechanisms of skin aging are well better known. UV radiations act either directly on DNA either through the formation of free radicals. The skin aging is characterized by the decline of numerous skin functions. Its clinical presentation is accentuated in UV exposed-skin. To struggle against skin aging is first of all to prevent it by means of an efficient photoprotection, an adequate general life style and preventive treatments as α-hydroxyacids, retinoids and antioxidants.SCOPUS: re.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

Aspects particuliers des ulcères chez l'enfant

Leg ulcers of juvenile onset are uncommon. The injectious origin is fairly frequent but the presence of leg ulcers in children should prompt an investigation into possible underlying causes especially hemangioma, vasculitis, inborn errors of metabolism (i.e. prolidase deficiency), hemoglobinopathies, occult spinal dysraphism and immunodeficiencies. Bacteriological investigations are essentiel and a skin biopsy specimen may be able to differentiate some of these disorders.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

Multiple eruptive keratoacanthoma and immunity disorders

A 68-year-old woman presents multiple keratoacanthoma of the Witten and Zak type associated with immunity disorders. A dramatic regression of the lesions is noticed while the patient is treated with an association of loratadine and ranitidine. Hypotheses are proposed in view of a possible role of ranitidine, an anti-H2 antihistaminic.SCOPUS: cp.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
