[Allergies in children with metabolic nephropathies].

The authors describe the results of the follow-up of children of the early age (n-68) and senior age (n-42) with different allergic diseases and 77 children with metabolic nephropathies (oxalate nephropathy, pyelonephritis associated with metabolic disorders, interstitial nephritis). In both age groups, an interrelationship was established between renal pathology in the form of metabolic nephropathies and allergo-pathology. Children with different allergies manifested the high incidence of metabolic disorders, with crystalluria and erythrocyturia being mostly encountered in respiratory allergies whereas leukocyturia largely occurred in skin allergies. At the same time the high incidence of allergic reactions was revealed in children with metabolic nephropathies. A relationship was established between the signs of atopy with graver varieties of nephropathies. The presence of the common pathogenetic components in the development of allergic and renal pathology requires the inclusion of immunologic and nephrologic methods into the complex of those patients' examination and the consideration of those factors in the treatment policy.

Dermatoses of the scalp.

By judicious consideration of the clinical appearance, by direct examination with magnification, and by culture results, skin biopsy, and other laboratory results, the clinician is able to diagnose most pathological conditions of the scalp. The scalp participates in many systemic disorders and frequently is the chief site of involvement. Similarly, many generalized disorders limited to the skin exhibit their most typical manifestations in the scalp. Whenever a diagnosis eludes the investigator, more than likely he or she has not considered all of the etiological possibilities or has not pursued an adequate laboratory investigation. A few scalp diseases initially present nonspecific clinical pictures. By utilizing follow-up examinations at appropriate intervals, the diagnosis can eventually be made. Once a diagnosis is made, appropriate treatment will generally produce satisfactory improvement or cure. Nevertheless, a few generally rare conditions will defy the physician's most enlightened and aggressive therapy.

[Quality of life and chronic conditions: the perspective of children and adolescents in rehabilitation].

Health related quality of life (QoL) is a relevant criterion to understand well-being and function in children with chronic health conditions. Approaches to assessing quality of life are presented, based on a revision of the German KINDL questionnaire in the course of rehabilitation in three groups of chronically ill children (with diagnosis of asthma, atopic dermatitis or obesity), aged 8 to 17 years. Psychosocial and sociodemographic characteristics prior to, at the end and 12 months after rehabilitation were also assessed. At baseline, gender-, age- and diagnosis-specific impairments in QoL were found. Over time children improved, most clearly in children with obesity. Psychosocial predictors of QoL one year after rehabilitation were identified. The study shows that QoL assessment in children with chronic conditions is feasible and that children profit from rehabilitation programs. To further assess the QoL benefit in paediatric rehabilitation more studies are needed.

The skin and the mind.

BACKGROUND: The intimate relationship of the skin and the mind illustrates the importance of a holistic approach in caring for patients with skin problems. Habits related to psychological problems may lead to skin problems such as lichen simplex chronicus and acne excoriée. Emotional stress may affect skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis, perioral dermatitis, pompholyx, and plaque psoriasis. OBJECTIVE: This article describes the relationship between the mind and skin disease. DISCUSSION: Skin disease can exert a profound effect on the psychosocial dimension of a patient's life. Its effect on quality of life can be objectively assessed and documented by validated tools specific for the skin. Patient rated measures should be taken into account when evaluating the efficacy and adverse effects of treatments for skin disease.
