Regular observation of 16 patients with chronic skin diseases, treated twice daily with applications of Tibicorten for 2 to 14 weeks, showed that this treatment did not give rise to development of local side-effects. Even protracted local application of Tibicorten is tolerated excellently.

Skin diseases are not only a health problem, but also a significant psychological and social trouble affecting every age group of patients. One of the largest groups of skin diseases are mycoses including mycoses of the skin and its appendages. The most common symptoms of infection are skin itching and burning, followed by disruption at the stratum corneum. Treatment includes the use of natural antibiotics such as griseofulvin and synthetic derivatives such as terbinafine. Chronic skin disease, which includes mycosis, necessitates taking medications for a long time, which translates into reduced effectiveness of the drug and side effects. The latest results of study herbal substances prove that they exhibit high fungistatic and fungicidal activity. Therefore, medicinal plants and their secondary metabolites are increasingly used in antifungal therapy. Essential oils are one of the products of secondary metabolism of plants. With the right dosage, they can be used for a long time with eliminating the risk of side effects. So far have been no reports of the increasing resistance of bacterial or fungal strains to the components of essential oils, which often occur in the case of long-term antibiotic therapy. The paper describes essential oils of tea tree, thyme, oregano, basil, sage, savory, clove and cinnamon, showing the greatest effectiveness in the antifungal therapy of the skin and its appendages.

Epstein's “Constructive Thinking Inventory” (CTI) was developed to measure the construct of experiential intelligence, which is based on his cognitive-experiential self-theory. Inventory items were generated by sampling naturally occurring automatic cognitions. Using principal component analysis, the findings showed a global factor of coping ability as well as six main factors: Emotional Coping, Behavioral Coping, Categorical Thinking, Personal Superstitious Thinking, Esoteric Thinking, and Naive Optimism. We tested the replicability of this factor structure and the amount of statistical independence (nonredundancy) between these factors in an initial study of German students (Study 1, N = 439) and in a second study of patients with chronic skin disorders (Study 2, N = 187). Factor congruence with the original (American) data was determined using a formula proposed by Schneewind and Cattell (1970) . Our findings show satisfactory factor congruence and statistical independence for Emotional Coping and Esoteric Thinking in both studies, while full replicability or independence could not be found in both for the other factors. Implications for the use and further development of the CTI are discussed.

Diversos estudos têm revelado a existência de uma relação entre aspectos psicossociais e o desenvolvimento ou agravamento de dermatoses crônicas, dentre as quais se encontra a psoríase. Fatores psicológicos, stress e outros eventos da vida são capazes de agravar de 40 e 80% dos casos. O estudo objetivou analisar a forma como esses aspectos podem ensejar o surgimento, a reincidência ou a acentuação do quadro clínico. Metodologia: Estudo de casos concretos com pacientes portadores da psoríase, além de uma vasta literatura bibliográfica acerca da temática. Conclusão: Ficou demonstrada a importância do tratamento psíquico e fisiológico, bem como a necessidade do desenvolvimento de estratégias de coping para enfretamento das situações sociais envolvidas.

The Impact

Background: Psoriasis and atopic dermatitis are chronic skin diseases that greatly affect the quality of life. Both diseases can be triggered or exacerbated by stress. Objective: We aimed to differentiate personality traits between patients with chronic skin conditions and people treated for stress in a pilot study. Methods: Patients participating voluntarily in educational programs in Belgium and Switzerland were recruited to complete personality trait questionnaires, including the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) and the Tridimensional Personality Questionnaire (TPQ). A comparison was made with patients treated for work-related stress. Results: A total of 48 and 91 patients suffering from skin diseases and work-related stress, respectively, were included in the study. Based on the questionnaires, we found that dermatology patients were less persistent and impulsive than those with work-related stress. Dermatology patients also exhibited more rigidness and less focus on performance. Finally, patients with work-related stress seem more likely to change in response to health-promoting programs than patients with chronic dermatoses. Conclusion: Patients with chronic skin diseases may perceive and cope with stress differently in comparison to patients with work-related stress due to inherent personality traits. Therefore, stress coping mechanisms may differ among different diseases. More research is needed into the design of educational interventions and the impact of personality traits in disease-specific groups.
