rythematosus to be the most common identifiable causes. Two of 3 physicians reported that they use second-generation antihistamines in standard dose as the first-line therapy in patients with UV. The greatest perceived challenges in the management of UV were the limited efficacy of drugs and the absence of clinical guidelines and treatment algorithms. Conclusions UV is a challenging disease. Skin biopsy, a gold standard for UV diagnosis, is not performed by many physicians. This may lead to misdiagnosis of UV, for example, as chronic spontaneous urticaria, and to inadequate treatment. International consensus-based recommendations for the classification of UV and the diagnostic workup and treatment, as well as prospective studies evaluating potentially safe and effective drugs for the treatment of UV, are necessary. © 2020 The Authors.Urticaria is defined as the sudden appearance of erythematous, itchy wheals of variable size, with or without angioedema (AE) (swelling of the deeper layers of the skin). Its classification depends on time course of symptoms and the presence of eliciting factors. When it lasts less than 6 weeks it is classified as acute urticaria (AU), and if the symptoms persist for more than 6 weeks, it is classified as chronic urticaria (CU). Current International Guidelines also classify CU as chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) and inducible urticarial, according to the absence or presence of environmental triggering factors. CSU is defined as urticaria and/or angioedema in which there is no evidence of a specific eliciting factor. CSU is associated with autoimmunity in 30-45% of the cases, sharing some immunological mechanisms with other autoimmune diseases, and is associated with autoimmune thyroid disease (ATD) in about 4.3%-57.4% patients. Several studies suggest that adequate therapy with anti-thyroid drugs or levothyroxine in early stages of ATD and CSU, may help to remit the latter; but there is still a lack of double-blind, placebo-controlled studies that support this hypothesis in patients without abnormal thyroid hormone levels. The objective of this review is to describe the pathophysiology of chronic spontaneous urticaria and its association with autoimmune thyroid disease. © 2020 Published by Elsevier Inc. on behalf of World Allergy Organization.Precision allergy molecular diagnostic applications (PAMD@) is increasingly entering routine care. Currently, more than 130 allergenic molecules from more than 50 allergy sources are commercially available for in vitro specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) testing. Since the last publication of this consensus document, a great deal of new information has become available regarding this topic, with over 100 publications in the last year alone. It thus seems quite reasonable to publish an update. It is imperative that clinicians and immunologists specifically trained in allergology keep abreast of the new and rapidly evolving evidence available for PAMD@. PAMD@ may initially appear complex to interpret; however, with increasing experience, the information gained provides relevant information for the allergist. This is especially true for food allergy, Hymenoptera allergy, and for the selection of allergen immunotherapy. Nevertheless, all sIgE tests, including PAMD@, should be evaluated within the framework of a patient's clinical history, because allergen sensitization does not necessarily imply clinical relevant allergies. © 2019 Published by Elsevier Inc. on behalf of World Allergy Organization.This case has interesting images of huge hydro pneumoperitoneum. It is a rare view in the medical practice and a good point to learn one of the complications of perforated duodenal ulcer and failure of omental patch operation. We reported a case of acute abdominal pain with hydro pneumoperitoneum that appeared as an air fluid line in X-ray. The patient had an omental patch surgery. Two days after the operation he got severe abdominal pain. The X-ray images showed significant huge hydro pneumoperitoneum. He underwent urgent surgical intervention for exploration that detected a large amount of gases, a biliary free fluid and a leak from duodenal ulcer. Omental buttressing was then performed. © Islam Hussam Elrobaa et al.The tympanostomy tube insertion is the gold standard of treatment for secretory otitis media. Complications are associated with this surgery in 17% of cases. One of the rare but real complications is the medial migration of the tympanostomy tube. To our knowledge, this is the 14th case reported in childhood. Considering this rarity, there is no consensus for the management of this phenomenon. Some authors propose a surgical removal, while others prefer to observe whether the patient is asymptomatic. We reported a case of migration of the tympanostomy tube and described the detailed clinical features and management options. This case report and mini-review will broaden readers the knowledge of medial migration of the tympanostomy tube and may guide the relative treatment of this complication in the future. © Ilias Benchafai et al.Clinical manifestations and visceral involvements described in patients with thyroid disease are many and varied. However, cases of patients with hepatic manifestations have been rarely reported in the literature. We here report the case of a 50 year old patient diagnosed with Graves' disease without a goiter or ocular manifestations. TNO155 Follow-up laboratory testing led to the detection of anicteric cholestasis. Investigations of the potential causes were negative and given the normalization of the liver parameters after appropriate treatment of hyperthyroidism, the diagnosis of hepatic involvement secondary to Graves' disease was retained. The purpose of this study was to report a new case of rare hepatic manifestation (cholestasis anictérique) in a patient with hyperthyroidism Graves' disease. © Dayssem Khelifi et al.Introduction Substance abuse is an important public health issue affecting West Africa; however, there is currently a dearth of literature on the actions needed to address it. The aim of this study was to assess the risks and protective factors of substance abuse in Ghana, West Africa, using the photovoice method. Methods This study recruited and trained 10 participants in recovery from substance abuse and undergoing treatment in the greater Accra region of Ghana on the photovoice methodology. Each participant received a disposable camera to take pictures that represented the risk and protective factors pertinent to substance abuse in their communities. They were also given the opportunity to provide narratives of the pictures using pre-identified themes and the different levels of the social-ecological model and participatory action research (PAR). Results Participants identified at the individual level ignorance; interpersonal level family and peer pressure; organizational level lack of regulation; community level media, availability of drugs, cost of drugs, urbanization, slum communities and cultural factors; and policy level lack of regulations and their enforcement.
