    Abstract Background: Guidelines for photodynamic therapy (PDT) of actinic keratosis (AK) recommend pretreatment with curettage. The impact of curettage on cure rate is, however, not well established.
    Objective: The present study aimed to evaluate whether daylight PDT without curettage could be as effective as daylight PDT with curettage.
    Methods: Twenty-five patients with multiple AKs were treated in two even-sized areas on the face and scalp. One area was treated with standard daylight PDT starting with curettage followed by incubation with methyl aminolevulinate (MAL) for 30 min before 2 h of daylight exposure. The other area was incubated with MAL for 1 h without prior curettage before 2 h of daylight exposure. The longer incubation time was used to obtain a sufficiently high protoporphyrin IX concentration in the non-curettaged area.
    Results: There was no difference in cure rate 3 months after daylight PDT in areas pretreated with curettage (86%) compared to non-curettaged areas (84%) (P = 0.1). Neither was there any difference between reported pain during daylight exposure (P > 0.7) or clinically evaluated erythema the day after treatment (P = 1.0).
    Conclusion: Daylight PDT without curettage but with 1 h of MAL incubation before daylight exposure was shown to be as effective in treatment of thin AKs on the face and scalp as standard daylight PDT with curettage. This modification of daylight PDT eases the task for the clinic and makes it more convenient for the patients as well, creating the possibility of performing daylight PDT as an entirely home-based treatment for AKs of the face and scalp without training the patients to perform pretreatment.

    Abstract Erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) and X-linked protoporphyria (XLP) are characterized by skin photosensitivity caused by accumulation of protoporphyrin IX. We aimed to review the clinical evidence of efficacy and safety of skin photosensitivity treatments in individuals with EPP or XLP. We systematically searched MEDLINE, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov. A total of 40 studies with data on 18 treatment modalities were included. Comprehensive treatment safety data were obtained from the European Medicines Agency and the United States Food and Drug Administration. The studies used different outcome measures to evaluate the sensitivity without a generally accepted method to assess treatment effect on skin photosensitivity. Of the included studies, 13 were controlled trials. Gathered, the trials showed moderate positive effect of inorganic sunscreen application and subcutaneous implant of afamelanotide and no effect of organic sunscreen application, or oral treatment with beta-carotene, cysteine, N-acetylcysteine, vitamin C, or warfarin. Studies without control groups suggested treatment effect of foundation cream, dihydroxyacetone/lawsone cream, narrow-band ultraviolet B phototherapy, erythrocyte transfusion, extracorporeal erythrocyte photodynamic therapy, or oral treatment with zinc sulphate, terfenadine, cimetidine, or canthaxanthin, but the real effect is uncertain. Assessment of treatment effect on photosensitivity in patients with EPP or XLP carries a high risk of bias since experienced photosensitivity varies with both weather conditions, exposure pattern, and pigmentation. Controlled trials of promising treatment options are important although challenging in this small patient population.

    Design: An observational cohort study of outpatients with COPD in Denmark between 2010 and 2018.ICS exposure was categorised into four groups based on average daily consumption 1 year prior to inclusion: no use, low ICS dose (≤400 µg), moderate ICS dose (400-800 µg) and high ICS dose (>800 µg). Dose-response relationship was investigated by a multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression.

    Abstract Background: Erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) is a rare genetic disease that causes severe sensitivity to visible light as a result of protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) accumulation in the skin.
    Objectives: To establish a noninvasive method to measure PpIX in the skin of patients with EPP and to investigate how skin PpIX relates to erythrocyte PpIX and photosensitivity.
    Methods: Skin PpIX was measured in 25 patients with EPP by calculating the difference in PpIX fluorescence before and after complete photobleaching of PpIX using controlled illumination. The patients reported symptoms during the illumination and skin erythema was measured before and after illumination. Confirmation of the presence of PpIX was obtained in seven patients by measuring the in vivo fluorescence emission spectrum. This method was used to examine skin PpIX during the hours after an illumination in seven patients.
    Results: We established a noninvasive method to measure skin PpIX based on measurements of PpIX fluorescence before and after complete PpIX photobleaching. The patients had an average skin PpIX of 2·0 units and skin emission spectra confirmed the presence of skin PpIX (peak emission 632 nm). Skin PpIX was associated with erythrocyte PpIX (P = 0·002, R
    Conclusions: We have developed a noninvasive method to measure skin PpIX in patients with EPP. Skin PpIX is dependent on erythrocyte PpIX and exposure of the skin to light. This method can be used for objective monitoring of treatment effect.
