Genetic skin diseases have been considered with respect to their population and family frequencies, as well as to their concordance values, in MZ and DZ twin pairs. The clinical evolution of the disease has been further considered in its various stages and compared in MZ and DZ twins, concordant for the disease.The material consisted of 100 twin pairs, with at least one member affected, subdivided with respect to concordance and zygosity. For each dermatosis, then, the population and family frequencies have been calculated. The following dermatoses could be studied: psoriasis, acne vulgaris, keratosis pilaris, alopecia areata, epidermolysis bullosa and dermatitis seborrheica.A high concordance of clinical evolution in MZ twins has appeared to correspond to a low frequency of the disease, while a high frequency appears to correspond to low concordance values. This finding may be very useful for a better understanding of the disease's inheritance, as well as of its penetrance and expression.It has been finally possible to evaluate the hereditary quantum vs. the environmental one in the determination of a dermatosis, by means of Holzinger's coefficient of heredity (H). The estimates of the latter vary from 35 to 50% in the various dermatoses examined.

Background: Acne vulgaris is a prevalent dermatological disease characterized by skin eruptions, which may decrease the sufferer’s quality of life. Hydrogen purification treatment is a new procedure used in cosmetology to improve the skin parameters of the face. This study examined the effectiveness of hydrogen purification treatment to improve women’s skin conditions with regard to acne vulgaris. Methods: In this study, 30 women participated who suffered from a high level of sebum and acne. The control group was comprised of 30 healthy women with a low level of sebum. The Hellgren–Vincent Scale and Derma Unit SSC 3 device were used to assess acne vulgaris severity and skin properties, respectively. Four hydrogen purification sessions were carried out at 7-day intervals, using the Hebe Hydrogenium+ generating alkaline water. Results: At baseline and 7 and 14 days after finishing the series of treatments, the levels of oiliness, moisture, and skin pH were tested. The main effects of treatment were significant in the following parameters: pH around the bottom lip, moisture between the eyebrows and around the nose, and oily skin in all three face sites. Conclusions: The level of sebum decreased and moisture levels increased during hydrogen purification. Topical hydrogen purification is an effective and safe treatment for acne vulgaris.

Abstract Background We investigated the relationship between psychological distress and the coordination of heart rate variability (HRV) and physical acceleration (PA) during free-moving days in women. Methods Ninety-five adult women were divided into younger and older groups. The younger group comprised 50 women (22–59 years), and the older group comprised 45 women (≥ 60 years). HRV and PA data were simultaneously obtained every minute for 24 h during the free-moving day. The ratios of low frequency/high frequency and high frequency in normalized units were used as HRV indices. We defined %Lag0 as the % frequency of the lag = 0 min between HRV and PA in 1 h. The General Health Questionnaire 28 (GHQ28) was used to evaluate the effects of psychological distress and depression. Results In the hour before the night’s sleep, %Lag0 was significantly lower in older women with depression (GHQ28 subscale D) than in older women without depression (p < 0.05). However, no significant difference between %Lag0 and depression status was observed in the hour after waking in older women. Conclusions The results suggest that impairments in coordination between HRV and PA are associated with depression in older women, particularly in the hour before a night’s sleep on free-moving days.

Abstract Depression associates closely with autonomic nervous system and physical activity, however, there have been no studies on the relationship between depression and the coordination of heart rate variability (HRV) and physical acceleration (PA). Ninety-five adult women were divided into non-older and older groups. The non-older group comprised 50 adulte women (below 60 years), and the older group comprised 45 women (above 60 years). HRV and PA data were simultaneously obtained every minute for 24 h during the free-moving day by using the ActiveTracer accelerometer. The ratios of low frequency/high frequency and high frequency were used as HRV indices, indicating sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous activities, respectively. Lag time was determined as the time difference indicated by the maximum absolute cross-correlation coefficients obtained from the analysis between the HRV components and the PA. We defined %Lag0 as the % frequency of the lag = 0 min between HRV and PA in 1 h. The General Health Questionnaire 28 (GHQ28) was used to evaluate the effects of psychological distress, including depression. In the hour before the night’s sleep, %Lag0 was significantly lower in older women with depression (GHQ28 subscale D) than in older women without depression (p <0.05). However, no significant difference between %Lag0 and depression status was observed in the hour after waking in older women. The results suggest that impairments in coordination between HRV and PA are associated with depression in older women, particularly in the hour before a night’s sleep on free-moving days.

1. Low heart rate variability is associated with an increased risk of cardiac sudden death, coronary heart disease and all-cause mortality. We have previously shown that physically active postmenopausal women demonstrate higher levels of heart rate variability and cardiac baroreflex sensitivity compared to their sedentary peers. The purpose of the present prospective study was to test the hypothesis that heart rate variability and cardiac baroreflex sensitivity would be reduced with age in sedentary but not physically active women. To accomplish this, we measured heart rate variability (both time and frequency domain) and spontaneous cardiac baroreflex sensitivity (SBRS, sequence method) in the sitting posture in 23 sedentary women [11 premenopausal and 12 postmenopausal (age, 28 ± 1 and 61 ± 2 years; Vo2max, 35.3 ± 1.4 and 21.7 ± 1.5 ml · min−1 · kg−1 respectively] and in 22 physically active women [12 premenopausal and 10 postmenopausal (age, 31 ± 1 and 59 ± 2 years; Vo2max, 52.5 ± 1.4 and 39.7 ± 1.8 ml · min−1 · kg−1)]. 2. The S.D. of the R—R interval (time domain) was reduced (P < 0.05) with age in both sedentary (52 ± 6 versus 33 ± 4 ms) and physically active women (72 ± 8 versus 49 ± 9 ms). The high-frequency power (3740 ± 1527 versus 915 ± 188 and 9516 ± 2849 versus 2803 ± 1083 ms2/Hz), total power of heart rate variability and SBRS (11 ± 2 versus 7 ± 2 and 19 ± 3 versus 13 ± 2 ms/mmHg) also demonstrated similar age-related reductions in sedentary and physically active women, respectively (all P < 0.05). The S.D. of the R—R interval, high-frequency and total power of heart rate variability, and SBRS were higher (all P < 0.05) in the physically active compared with the sedentary women at any age. There was no significant influence of age or physical activity status on the low-frequency power of heart rate variability. In addition, no significant differences in any of the time or frequency domain measures of heart rate variability or SBRS were observed in users compared with non-users of hormone replacement therapy. 3. The results of the present study suggest that heart rate variability and cardiac baroreflex sensitivity decline similarly with age in healthy sedentary and physically active women. However, physically active women demonstrate higher levels of heart rate variability and cardiac baroreflex sensitivity compared with their sedentary peers, regardless of age.

Background: Topical retinoids are first-line treatment options for acne vulgaris. These drugs, however, produce varying degree of cutaneous irritation within the first few weeks of treatment. Objective: Our purpose was to examine differences in tolerability of topical retinoids and assess whether these differences would be clinically meaningful. Methods: A PubMed search was performed for sources on topical retinoids in acne vulgaris treatment. Thirty-four clinical studies were analyzed. Results: Thirteen studies had statistically significant results on tolerability of retinoid based on retinoid, vehicle, concentration, or skin type. All studies classified most of skin reactions as mild-moderate. Large differences in the number of dropouts due to irritation were not identified. Conclusion: Irritation studies did not show a high frequency of clinically significant irritation with topical retinoids. We anticipate that the large variation in patient use of topical retinoids would likely account for more variation in response than differences between drug formulations.
