Atopic dermatitis (AD) is the most common chronic inflammatory skin disease. Genetic predisposition, epidermal barrier disruption, and dysregulation of the immune system are some of the critical components of AD. An impaired skin barrier may be the initial step in the development of the atopic march as well as AD, which leads to further skin inflammation and allergic sensitization. Type 2 cytok…

From February 21, the day of hospitalisation in ICU of the first diagnosed case of Covid-19, the social situation and the hospitals’ organisation throughout Italy dramatically changed
Many studies have demonstrated the usefulness of repetitive task practice by using robotic-assisted gait training (RAGT) devices, including Lokomat, for the treatment of lower limb paresis. Virtual reality (VR) has proved to be a valuable tool to improve neurorehabilitation training. The aim of our pilot randomized clinical trial was to understand the neurophysiological basis of motor function …
We retrospectively evaluated the clinical usefulness of desensitization therapy for many patients showing allergic reactions to anti-mycobacterial drugs (INH and RFP) according to the proposition reported by the Japanese Society for Tuberculosis (JST).
Tapinarof is a topical therapeutic aryl hydrocarbon receptor modulating agent under investigation for atopic dermatitis (AD) and psoriasis treatment

Many chronic lung diseases are characterized by the hypersecretion of mucus. In these conditions, the administration of mucoactive agents is often indicated as adjuvant therapy. N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is a typical example of amucolytic agent. A retrospective review of patients with pulmonary aspergillosis treated at the National Aspergillosis Centre in Manchester,United Kingdom,with NAC between…
