History of psoriasis and parapsoriasis.

Parapsoriasis is not a disease entity. It is an auxiliary term introduced in 1902 to group several dermatoses with a faint similarity to psoriasis. The historical development leading to the creation of the term parapsoriasis is outlined and the history of psoriasis is briefly reviewed.

Detection of disease-specific restriction fragment length polymorphisms in pemphigus vulgaris linked to the DQw1 and DQw3 alleles of the HLA-D region.

Pemphigus vulgaris in Israeli Ashkenazi and non-Ashkenazi Jews and in Austrian non-Jewish patients is strongly associated with the DR4 and DRw6 alleles of the HLA-D region class II genes. Restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis was undertaken with DQ beta, DQ alpha, and DR beta cDNA probes. Hybridization with the DQ beta probe identifies Pvu II, BamHI, and EcoRV fragments that absolutely discriminate pemphigus vulgaris patients from healthy DR-, DQ-, and ethnic-matched controls. In contrast the DQ alpha and DR beta probes failed to identify disease-specific restriction fragment length polymorphism fragments. These studies indicate that DQw1 and DQw3 polymorphisms carried by pemphigus vulgaris patients may be directly involved in predisposition to the disease or may be tightly linked to the susceptibility gene itself. To our knowledge, this is the first example of an HLA restriction fragment length polymorphism that is highly associated with susceptibility to autoimmune disease.

Seasonal variation of UV radiation at the Dead Sea.

Pilot measurements were made of natural UV radiation (UVA and UVB, broad-band and erythemogenic) on the Dead Sea (400 m below sea level) and in Spain at sea level, both at approximately the same geographical latitude. Measurements were made at different times of single days during the 1985/1986 season. The preponderance of UVA over UVB was more pronounced in winter.
