    Le psoriasis (PsO) est associĂ© Ă  de nombreuses comorbiditĂ©s. L effet des traitements systĂ©miques du psoriasis sur ces comorbiditĂ©s reste encore mal connu. L enthĂ©site s est rĂ©vĂ©lĂ©e intĂ©ressante dans le diagnostic et le suivi des patients atteints de PsO. L effet des traitements systĂ©miques sur les enthĂ©sites a Ă©tĂ© peu Ă©tudiĂ©. Nos objectifs Ă©taient d Ă©valuer l impact des traitements systĂ©miques sur les comorbiditĂ©s cardiovasculaires associĂ©es au PsO, d Ă©valuer la prĂ©valence des enthĂ©sites en Ă©chographie chez des patients prĂ©sentant un PsO sans et avec atteinte rhumatologique et d Ă©tudier leur Ă©volution sous traitements systĂ©miques. Nous avons rĂ©alisĂ© une Ă©tude prospective sur 6 mois, incluant des patients prĂ©sentant un PsO sans et avec atteinte articulaire. L Ă©valuation des comorbiditĂ©s Ă©tait faite Ă  la visite initiale (M0), Ă  3 mois (M3) et Ă  6 mois (M6), l Ă©valuation Ă©chographique Ă  M0 et M6. 43 patients, dont 12 rhumatismes psoriasiques, ont Ă©tĂ© inclus. Une Ă©valuation de leurs comorbiditĂ©s Ă  M0, M3 et M6 a pu ĂȘtre rĂ©alisĂ©e chez 40 patients. L Ă©valuation Ă©chographique a pu ĂȘtre rĂ©alisĂ©e chez 34 patients Ă  M0, et le suivi sur 23. Tous les patients avaient au moins une comorbiditĂ©. Une diminution statistiquement significative des paramĂštres inflammatoires (CRP (p=0,004) et VS (p=0,002)) a Ă©tĂ© observĂ©e. Le nombre d enthĂ©sites dĂ©tectĂ©es Ă©tait de 167 sur 340 analysĂ©es (49,1%). Les patients avec symptĂŽmes articulaires avaient un nombre d enthĂ©sites supĂ©rieur mais non significatif, Ă  celui des patients sans symptĂŽme articulaire (p=0,169). Aucune anomalie de vascularisation n a Ă©tĂ© dĂ©tectĂ©e. Une prĂ©valence plus Ă©levĂ©e mais non significative d enthĂ©sites a Ă©tĂ© observĂ©e chez les PsO asymptomatiques avec atteinte unguĂ©ale (p=0,532). Une diminution significative des lĂ©sions morphologiques a Ă©tĂ© observĂ©e dans la population totale (p=0,006) et PsO asymptomatique (p=0,021) tous traitements confondus. En conclusion, nous avons observĂ© une prĂ©valence Ă©levĂ©e des comorbiditĂ©s et des anomalies enthĂ©sitiques Ă©chographiques au sein d une population prĂ©sentant un PsO modĂ©rĂ© Ă  sĂ©vĂšre. Une diminution significative des paramĂštres inflammatoires et des lĂ©sions morphologiques Ă©chographiques a Ă©tĂ© notĂ©e sous l effet des traitements systĂ©miques. D autres Ă©tudes complĂ©mentaires avec des effectifs de patients plus grands et un suivi longitudinal Ă  plus long terme sont nĂ©cessaires pour confirmer ces rĂ©sultats.NICE-BU MĂ©decine Odontologie (060882102) / SudocSudocFranceF

    Pterygium inversum unguis secondary to gel polish

    No full text
    Background Pterygium inversum unguis (PIU) is characterized by the abnormal adherence of the hyponychium to the ventral surface of the nail plate. It can be both unsightly and painful, resulting in morbidity for patients. Gel polish is a popular nail cosmetic that has been reported to cause several complications. PIU may be another adverse outcome. Objective To highlight a newly recognized adverse effect of a popular beauty technique. Methods This retrospective and prospective case series reports 17 women who developed PIU after gel polish use. All study‐related activities occurred at a University of Miami dermatology outpatient clinic. Results All 17 subjects developed PIU after two to five years of gel polish application. Nine of 17 patients reported using both UVA and LED light to cure gel polish. Of the remaining eight, five used LED light only and three did not know or could not remember. All but two patients had a resolution of PIU a few weeks after switching from gel polish to regular polish manicures. Conclusion While it remains undiscerned whether PIU is related to chemicals present in the gel polish or to the application and/or removal process of such, patients and dermatologists should be aware of the potential risks of gel manicures

    New Targeted Therapies and Immunotherapies for Locally Advanced Periocular Malignant Tumours: Towards a New ‘Eye-Sparing’ Paradigm?

    The management of periocular skin malignant tumours is challenging. Surgery remains the mainstay of treatment for localised eyelid cancers. For more locally advanced cancers, especially those invading the orbit, orbital exenteration has long been considered the gold standard; however, it is a highly disfiguring and traumatic surgery. The last two decades have been marked by the emergence of a new paradigm shift towards the use of ‘eye-sparing’ strategies. In the early 2000s, the first step consisted of performing wide conservative eyelid and orbital excisions. Multiple flaps and grafts were needed, as well as adjuvant radiotherapy in selected cases. Although being incredibly attractive, several limitations such as the inability to treat the more posteriorly located orbital lesions, as well as unbearable diplopia, eye pain and even secondary eye loss were identified. Therefore, surgeons should distinguish ‘eye-sparing’ from ‘sight-sparing’ strategies. The second step emerged over the last decade and was based on the development of targeted therapies and immunotherapies. Their advantages include their potential ability to treat almost all tumours, regardless of their locations, without performing complex surgeries. However, several limitations have been reported, including their side effects, the appearance of primary or secondary resistances, their price and the lack of consensus on treatment regimen and exact duration. The aim of this article was to review the evolution of the management of locally advanced periocular malignant tumours over the last three decades and highlight the new paradigm shift towards the use of ‘eye-sparing’ strategies
