Healthy Teeth = Healthy Skin The connections between our oral health and systemic health are increasingly evident. Emerging research links: maintaining healthy teeth in managing skin conditions like psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis, hidradenitis suppurativa, acne inversa, pyoderma gangrenosum, Sweet's syndrome, neutrophilic dermatosis, subcorneal pustular dermatosis, hives, urticaria, cutaneous lupus, pemphigoid, pemphigus, or lichen planus. Also a study in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology reveals how oral health impacts various skin diseases.Notably, psoriasis, a chronic skin condition, shows a strong connection with oral streptococcal bacterial burden. These findings highlight the potential role of oral health in the development or prognosis of these skin conditions. (https://lnkd.in/dnqgwqvk). Also, metals are used in Dentistry, and as such, it is important to understand, "Metal Allergy: State-of-the-Art Mechanisms, Biomarkers, Hypersensitivity to Implants" as published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine. This article discusses metal allergy, that can cause allergic contact dermatitis. including mechanisms, biomarkers, and the relationship between hypersensitivity to metals and the use of implanted devices. The review emphasizes that nickel, chromium, and cobalt are common metal allergens, but attention is also drawn to others like gold, palladium, and titanium. This suggests a potential link between metal hypersensitivity and skin disorders, particularly in contexts where individuals are exposed to these metals through daily use items or medical implants.(https://lnkd.in/di399yEt). There is also the phenomenon known as Oral Galvanization that may occur. Get your dentistry checked, not just your teeth. Not all people are the same and some are more sensitive than others.

Eczematous skin conditions are very common, affecting 10-30% of dermatology patients of all ethnicities. #eczema #dermatology Some key eczematous dermatoses: Seborrheic dermatitis causes itchy, scaly patches on the scalp, face, and body. Dandruff is a mild form. Seborrheic dermatitis is associated with HIV and Parkinson's disease. #seborrheicdermatitis Atopic dermatitis (eczema) is a chronic, itchy inflammatory skin disease. It often starts in childhood with rashes on the face and flexures. In adults, it affects the hands and face. #atopicdermatitis #eczema Allergic contact dermatitis is caused by a delayed allergic reaction to things touching the skin, like poison ivy, metals, fragrances, and topical antibiotics. It causes a localized itchy rash. #allergiccontactdermatitis Irritant contact dermatitis is inflammation caused by irritants like detergents. It commonly affects the hands, especially in occupations like healthcare and food service. #irritantcontactdermatitis Juvenile plantar dermatosis causes painful, scaly patches on the soles of children's feet. #juvenileplantardermatosis Stasis dermatitis is eczema on the lower legs of people with chronic venous insufficiency, causing edema and skin changes. #stasisdermatitis Asteatotic eczema, also called eczema craquele, causes itchy, cracked skin on the lower legs of the elderly. #asteatoticeczema Dyshidrotic eczema causes deep itchy blisters on the palms and soles. #dyshidroticeczema Nummular eczema causes coin-shaped itchy patches, usually on the limbs. #nummulareczema Let me know if you would like me to modify the summary further for your LinkedIn audience!

#CochranePodcast: Which medicines, taken by mouth or injected, work best to treat a skin condition called plaque #psoriasis? 🎧 Listen to the Cochrane Skin #SystematicReview evidence in about 7 minutes The Cochrane Skin Group has produced some of the largest Cochrane reviews, providing a “one stop shop” for people interested in a wide range of interventions for a particular skin condition. One such example is the review of systemic medicines to treat psoriasis, which was updated for the fourth time in July 2023. We asked two of the authors, Laurence Le Cleach, head of the French satellite of the Cochrane Skin group, and dermatologist at Henri Mondor hospital, AP-HP in France and Emilie Sbidian, a #dermatologist working at the same hospital, to describe the findings. 👂 Listen here https://lnkd.in/g7XfYyHd or search 'Cochrane Library' on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. 🤓 Read the full network meta‐analysis in the #CochraneLibrary https://lnkd.in/gR8pM6nq Sbidian E, Chaimani A, Guelimi R, Garcia-Doval I, Hua C, Hughes C, Naldi L, Kinberger M, Afach S, Le Cleach L.

In recent years, medical science has uncovered fascinating connections between seemingly unrelated parts of the body. One such intriguing link lies between the health of your skin and the condition of your heart. Dermatologists, long associated with treating skin conditions, are now gaining insights into cardiovascular health through their examinations. Let’s delve into this fascinating connection and explore what your dermatologist might reveal about your heart in 2024. #SkinDeepSecrets #DermatologyInsights #HeartHealth #DermatologistTips #MedicalResearch #SkinHealth #CardioDermatology #HealthDiscoveries #HeartDisease #2024HealthTrends https://lnkd.in/dNGK3PbU

A comprehensive review published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology revealed that omega-3s improved psoriasis symptoms in 12 out of 15 trials. The benefits were noteworthy: reduced skin reddening, itching, scaling, and inflammation. The most significant improvements were observed when omega-3s were taken orally for a period of three months or longer. However, the benefits of omega-3s extend beyond alleviating external symptoms. People with psoriasis are at a higher risk of developing heart disease. Omega-3s may help mitigate this risk by reducing the likelihood of cardiac death and heart disease. https://lnkd.in/eefZe7RY If you're interested in learning more about integrating omega-3s into your health regimen, send me a DM! #omega3 #inflammation #wellness #skinhealth #testbased #healthyliving

The Intricate Interplay Between Oral Health and Dermatological Conditions In recent years, researchers have uncovered a fascinating connection between oral health and various dermatological conditions. From the well-known psoriasis to the lesser-known lichen planus, a range of skin disorders has been linked to oral health status. These conditions include psoriasis, acne inversa (hidradenitis suppurativa), eczema, dermatitis, neutrophilic dermatosis, subcorneal pustular dermatosis, hives (urticaria), cutaneous lupus, pemphigoid, pemphigus, and lichen planus. Understanding the underlying mechanisms, such as inflammation, immune dysregulation, and microbiome alterations, is crucial for advancing both dermatology and dentistry. This intricate relationship underscores the importance of holistic healthcare approaches and collaborative research efforts in improving patient outcomes.

Dermatology is frequently perceived as a minor, superficial discipline, but the reality is quite the opposite! Skin diseases are a highly relevant cause of health loss globally in terms of:   📈 Prevalence: One third of the population suffers from at least one skin condition – the number of new cases per year of psoriasis, atopic dermatitis and melanoma have doubled during the past decades! 📌  Burden of disease: The 15 most common and researched skin conditions combined are the fourth leading cause of non-fatal disease burden at the global level. 🛏 Quality of life: Chronic skin diseases impair patients' quality of life more drastically than asthma, epilepsy or diabetes! 💰 Costs: Skin diseases in the US incur direct healthcare expenses of $75 billion, with an additional $11 billion in lost opportunity costs. Given that these figures are from 2013, current estimates suggest even higher costs today. At Dermagnostix, we are a dedicated group of dermatologists, researchers, engineers, biologists and skin enthusiasts from many more disciplines committed to improving care for patients suffering from skin diseases!

Cutaneous manifestations of #peripheral #vascular #disease" by Wollina et al. published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology provides an overview of the cutaneous signs and symptoms associated with peripheral vascular disease. Key points include: 🔹#Skin #color changes like paleness, bluish discoloration (cyanosis), or reddish hue can indicate peripheral #artery disease (PAD) or chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) 🔹Skin #texture may become thin, shiny, and #hairless, or thicken and appear leathery in severe cases, especially with CVI 🔹Poorly #healing ulcers, often on the #lower #legs and feet, are a common manifestation of advanced peripheral vascular disease 🔹Dependent rubor (bright red skin when the limb is lowered below heart level) and #gangrene are signs of critical limb ischemia 🔹Other cutaneous signs include #eczema, #itching, temperature changes, and nail changes 🔹🔹The article emphasizes the importance for dermatologists to accurately recognize these cutaneous manifestations and direct patients to appropriate vascular evaluation and treatment as peripheral vascular disease becomes more prevalent globally

In a recent interview with Dermatology Times, Raj Chovatiya, MD, PhD, and Lawrence Eichenfield, MD, shared their insights and key treatment pearls for optimal atopic dermatitis care across all ages: 1. Understanding the clinical presentations in adult versus pediatric patients is crucial for making an accurate diagnosis and then developing an appropriate treatment regimen. 2. All around, standard first-line treatment for atopic dermatitis includes having good bathing practices, moisturising after bathing, and choosing an ideal ointment or lotion for each patient. 3. It’s best to use topical corticosteroids or topical non-steroidal agents to get the condition under control and then use non-steroidal topical agents to keep it under control. 4. Promising non-steroidals topicals include ruxolitinib and roflumilast. Read the full article here: https://bit.ly/3tBZn7S
