4%) showing an inadequate response to dupilumab, a combined treatment consisting of dupilumab plus methylprednisolone (n = 5), cyclosporine (n = 4), methotrexate (n = 2), or narrow band-UVB (n = 1) was administered. Overall, after 8 weeks of combined therapy, the majority of patients (11 of 12) obtained an improvement of signs and symptoms of AD. MEK pathway Patients treated with combined therapy did not experience any adverse events, neither did they withdraw treatment because of the occurrence of adverse events.

This study suggests that the combination of dupilumab with a conventional drug or phototherapy may represent a valid therapeutic choice, maintaining a good safety profile in AD patients recalcitrant to dupilumab monotherapy.

Previous studies indicated variability in the prevalence of Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies (DBMD) by racial/ethnic groups. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Muscular Dystrophy Surveillance, Tracking, and Research network (MD STARnet) conducts muscular dystrophy surveillance in multiple geographic areas of the USA and continues to enroll new cases. This provides an opportunity to continue investigating differences in DBMD prevalence by race and ethnicity and to compare the impact of using varying approaches for estimating prevalence.

To estimate overall and race/ethnicity-specific prevalence of DBMD among males aged 5-9 years and compare the performance of three prevalence estimation methods.

The overall and race/ethnicity-specific 5-year period prevalence rates were estimated with MD STARnet data using three methods. Method 1 used the median of 5-year prevalence, and methods 2 and 3 calculated prevalence directly with different birth cohorts. To compare prevalence between other two methods.
In males aged 5-9 years, compared to the prevalence of DBMD in NH whites, prevalence in NH blacks and NH AIAN/API was lower and higher in Hispanics. All methods produced similar prevalence estimates; however, method 1 produced narrower confidence intervals and method 2 produced fewer zero prevalence estimates than the other two methods.
Both imagery rescripting and imaginal exposure have been proven to be effective in the treatment of chronic nightmares when compared to a waitlist condition. Little is known about their comparative efficacy and their efficacy compared to an active control.

The aims of this study were to compare the two treatments to one another and to positive imagery as an active control, and to explore covariates of the treatment effect.

In this single-blinded randomized controlled trial, 96 patients with nightmare disorder (idiopathic nightmares) from an outpatient clinic were randomly assigned to a single individual treatment session of rescripting, exposure, or positive imagery and 4 weeks of practice at home. The primary outcome was nightmare distress, and the secondary outcomes were nightmare frequency, nightmare effects, self-efficacy, and general psychopathology.

Nightmare distress was reduced in all groups (imagery rescripting Cohen's d = -1.04, imaginal exposure d = -0.68, positive imagery d = -0.57), as were nightmare frequency, nightmare effects, and psychopathology. Self-efficacy was enhanced. No differential treatment effects were found on any primary or secondary measure. Treatment gains were not associated with demographic or disorder characteristics, baseline values, treatment credibility, or the number of practice sessions.

Even short nightmare treatments are effective regardless of personal characteristics, and different interventions produce similar results. Future research should aim to clarify the mechanisms of action. Health care should make more use of these powerful and easy-to-administer nightmare treatments.

New integrative hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) lesion pattern phenotypes have been proposed, an inflammatory phenotype (IP) and a follicular phenotype (FP). They are characterized by different lesion patterns, symptoms, and risks of disease progression.

To evaluate whether lesion pattern phenotypes (1) have a different cardiovascular risk factor profile, and (2) are associated with a different therapeutic approach in the setting of an HS clinic.

A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 233 patients with HS. They were classified according to lesion pattern phenotype criteria. Data regarding cardiovascular risk factors and treatment decisions were gathered.

One hundred and seventeen HS patients (50.21%) were classified as FP and 112 (48.07%) as IP. IP was associated with more severe disease and greater impairment of quality of life. Regardless of disease severity, patients with IP may have a higher cardiovascular risk, assessed according to higher C-reactive protein (CRP) levels (12.75 vs. 5.89, p = 0.059). The lesion pattern phenotype also influenced treatment decisions regardless of disease severity. Patients with IP were more likely to be treated with systemic corticosteroids and adalimumab, showing that lesion pattern phenotypes are associated with different therapeutic approaches.

IP is associated with higher CRP values, suggesting a greater cardiovascular risk in these patients and also a different therapeutic approach. This information could help guide dermatologists in the management of HS patients and help to determine future treatment recommendations.
