There is now scientific evidence of genetically driven skin-barrier anomalies in atopic patients. These barrier anomalies facilitate sustained antigen ingress through the defective barrier, which can bring about a Th2-dominant response. It enhances the transepidermal water loss, resulting in dry skin and leading to the release of preformed proinflammatory cytokines and to a cascade of events ending up in inflammation.

A Case of Inverse Lichen Planus
Lichen planus (LP) is a pruritic, papular eruption characterized by its violaceous color and polygonal shape. It is most commonly found on the flexor surfaces of the upper extremities, on the genitalia, and on the mucous membranes. We herein report a classic case of LP in an inverse distribution.

“It were not best that we should all think alike; it is difference of opinion that makes horse-races” Mark Twain (Samuel L. Clemens) in The Tragedy of Pudd’nead Wilson, Ch. 19, “Pudd’nead Wilson’s Calendar”.
Part V of Controversies in Dermatology continues the precedent of earlier issues by providing a platform for discussion of a broad range of contemporary and controversial issues. In this issue of Clinics in Dermatology, we will forego the temptation to expose hidden agendas and witches brews, rather, we shall focus on accepted beliefs, principles, doctrines, and paradigms, which you may find even more astonishing.

Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE; OMIM 264800) manifests with characteristic skin lesions of yellowish papules which coalesce into plaques of inelastic and leathery skin on the predilection sites (1). The ocular findings consist of angioid streaks, choroidal neovascularization and subretinal hemorrhages resulting in loss of visual acuity and occasional blindness. Cardiovascular problems include hypertension, intermittent claudication, and occasional myocardial infarcts and stroke. The prevalence of PXE is estimated to be in the range of 1:50,000-70,000 and to be more frequent in females than in males. The diagnosis can be challenging to clinicians due to late-onset of clinical manifestations and considerable heterogeneity. PXE …

CASE SCENARIO
A 37-year-old man with a slightly raised, red, scaly patch on his left arm is seen in the clinic of an academic teaching hospital by a young dermatologist. Following examination and biopsy, he is found to have squamous cell carcinoma in situ. The patient was recently laid off from work and had lost access to his health insurance. He is struggling to make ends meet for his family, so it would be difficult for him to cover any extraneous health-related expenses. Upon relaying this information to the dermatologist, the patient is provided with a full course of 5-fluorouracil …

We have demonstrated that priming of intratumoral and intradermal vaccination sites with chemokines enhances cytotoxic immune response against established neoplasms. Additional insights into the molecular mechanisms that underlie these findings and the optimization of such an approach may lead to the development of cost-effective and generic immunotherapeutic regimens against cancer.
Angular Cheilitis: A Maligned Condition., Caren Campbell, Lawrence Parish
Angular Cheilitis: A Maligned Condition., Caren Campbell, Lawrence Parish
Department of Dermatology and Cutaneous Biology Faculty Papers
Why an essay on angular cheilitis, an easily recognized cutaneous entity? One suggestion rests with the observation that angular cheilitis could be one of the most maligned conditions seen in contemporary practice. The fissuring, redness, and soreness at the angles of the mouth may not be catastrophic, but the embarrassment and soreness are disconcerting. Another that is more disturbing concerns the unnecessary testing and treatment often seen in the community.
When a middle aged man presented with angular cheilitis on routine examination, he asked if this was due to a vitamin deficiency. Fig 1 He had been told by a …

Finally, on March 12, 2013, a major American newspaper, The Wall Street Journal, reported on the plight of Dr. Cyril Karabus (1,2). Dr. Karabus is the 78 year old pediatric oncologist from Claremont, Capetown, South Africa who is well known as the retired head of the Oncology and Hematology Unit of the Red Cross Children’s Hospital, University of Cape Town, as well as for his devoted service to poor children in the apartheid era. In 2002, he cared for a three-year old Yemeni girl with acute myelogenous leukemia during a locum tenens in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

In 2002, Dr. Cyril Karabus, a specialist in pediatric cancers and retired head of the Oncology and Hematology Unit of Red Cross Children's Hospital in Capetown, South Africa, spent a brief locum at Sheikh Khalifa Medical City, a hospital in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). He was there for only 5 weeks, during which time he treated a young girl who died of acute myeloblastic leukemia. After Karabus returned home, the girl's father complained to police about his daughter's death, and Karabus was convicted of murder in absentia. Karabus knew nothing of the charges or of the …
