Background
Adalimumab is approved for the treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), plaque psoriasis, and other inflammatory conditions.
Objective
Our objective was to examine the safety of adalimumab administered every other week (EOW) and every week (EW) in patients with HS and psoriasis and to investigate informative data from non-dermatologic indications.
Methods
The safety of adalimumab 40-mg EOW versus EW dosing was examined during placebo-controlled and open-label study periods in patients with HS (three studies), psoriasis (two studies), Crohn’s disease (six studies), ulcerative colitis (three studies), and rheumatoid arthritis (one study).
Results
No new safety risks or increased rates of particular adverse events (AEs) were identified with EW dosing. In patients with HS or psoriasis, the overall safety of adalimumab 40-mg EOW and EW was generally comparable. In studies of adalimumab for non-dermatologic indications, including Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and rheumatoid arthritis, the overall AE rates were similar for EW and EOW dosing.
Conclusion
In patients with HS or psoriasis, the safety of adalimumab EW and EOW was comparable and consistent with the expected adalimumab AE profile. The safety of adalimumab EW dosing in patients with dermatologic conditions is supported by data comparing adalimumab EW and EOW dosing for Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and rheumatoid arthritis.

When it comes to “lunchtime procedures” with minimal downtime, photo-rejuvenation with IPL is one of the most effective and simple non-invasive skin treatments used to address irregular skin tone and compares favorably to most beauty salon treatments. IPL can be used to treat irregular pigmentation, age spots, redness, broken blood vessels and large pores, to erase years of skin damage......

]]>Our tips to reduce facial puffiness after a night of overindulgence: the Irish Independent's Christmas Survival Guide]]>CR Dermatologyhttps://www.caitrionaryandermatology.ie/single-post/2017/12/20/Our-tips-to-reduce-facial-puffiness-after-a-night-of-overindulgence-the-Irish-Independents-Christmas-Survival-Guidehttps://www.caitrionaryandermatology.ie/single-post/2017/12/20/Our-tips-to-reduce-facial-puffiness-after-a-night-of-overindulgence-the-Irish-Independents-Christmas-Survival-GuideWed, 20 Dec 2017 00:34:00 +0000
After a night of overindulgence, it is very common to wake with a puffy, swollen face, says Dr Caitriona Ryan, a Consultant Dermatologist in St Vincent's Hospital, Dublin.
"Dehydration due to alcohol leads to retention of fluid in the skin. Although it seems counter-intuitive, the most important way to reduce fluid retention in the face is to drink as much water as possible throughout the day. Avoid diuretics such as coffee and tea which cause further dehydration and exacerbate the problem. Ingestion of salty foods (the type we typically crave when hungover) will increase water retention and puffiness. If possible, work out - this will improve circulation, while sweating will reduce the salt load in the body to help reduce swelling. Cold compresses (ice cubes in a wash-cloth) help to reduce puffiness. Gently massaging the skin for 5-10 minutes can help to encourage lymphatic drainage. Moisturisers containing caffeine increase the circulation within the skin to help reduce excess swelling. Get some 'beauty sleep' - studies show that we appear more attractive when well rested! Elevating your head when sleeping by using two pillows will also improve drainage of fluid from facial skin, particularly from around the eyes."

Who is doing what and where? How do you find out more information? Have you checked your 'Safety Diamond'? From consultation to post-op care there's a lot more to consider than mere price. Taragh Loughrey-Grant went to Dublin's Blackrock Clinic to interview plastic surgeon Ms Siun Murphy and dermatologist Dr Caitriona Ryan to get their professional advice.......'
"I think there's been a huge rise in non-invasive cosmetic procedures particularly botox and fillers."
"Personally, I’ve been shocked since coming back to Ireland about the lack of regulation within the cosmetic industry in general, particularly when it comes to plastic surgery".
"I think as a country we’re very trusting when it comes to what our doctors say and unfortunately there are non-specialist doctors who are misleading the public in some ways".
"I don’t think the Irish Medical Council have really been aggressive in trying to challenging these doctors who are really impacting on the safety of our patients".
