Article Abstract
Background: Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is an increasingly recognised condition in children and adolescents. However, there is limited knowledge about the different paediatric patch test procedures in European patch test clinics.
Objectives: To map current European paediatric patch test practices, and to relate these to the existing literature, with the aim of guiding the development of a future paediatric patch test guideline, and a corresponding paediatric European baseline series (pEBS).
Materials And Methods: In the course of late 2023/early 2024, a standardised paediatric patch test e-mail questionnaire was developed, distributed, and discussed among members of the European Baseline Series (EBS) Working Party of the European Society of Contact Dermatitis (ESCD).
Results: Areas of agreement and discussion were identified regarding patch testing in children of different ages, with and without atopic dermatitis: (contra)indications, choice of allergens and patch test chambers, peculiarities regarding the application and fixation of tests, occlusion and reading times.
Conclusion: Although variability exists in paediatric patch test practices across Europe, there is broad agreement on common procedures, and only a few areas of debate; these findings may be used to inform the development of a future paediatric patch test guideline and pEBS.

Purpose: The present study aimed to fabricate microneedles (MNs) for transdermal delivery of insulin. Chitosan-conjugated carboxy phenyl boronic acid polymer was synthesized and characterized to load insulin in the form of nanoparticles.
Methods: Optimized insulin nanoparticles (ILN-NPs) were loaded into MN arrays by micromolding, and the resulting MN patches were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and mechanical failure tests.

Contact dermatitis (CD), which includes both allergic CD and irritant CD, is a common inflammatory condition that can pose significant diagnostic challenges. Although patch testing is the gold standard for identifying causative allergens for allergic contact dermatitis (ACD), it is time-consuming, subjective, and requires expert interpretation. Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), particularly in machine learning (ML) and deep learning, have shown promise in improving the accuracy, efficiency, and accessibility of CD diagnosis and management.

Tailoring surface characteristics is key to guiding scaffold interaction with the biological environment, promoting successful biointegration while minimizing immune responses and inflammation. In cardiac tissue engineering, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is a material of choice for its intrinsic piezoelectric properties, which can be enhanced through electrospinning, also enabling the fabrication of nanofibrous structures mimicking native tissue. However, the inherent hydrophobicity of PVDF can hinder its integration with biological tissues.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a preferred treatment option for many patients with severe aortic stenosis, but concerns exist regarding safety in patients with nickel allergy due to metallic valve frames. We report a series of 7 patients with a history of nickel allergy who underwent TAVR. Preprocedural allergy evaluation varied, including patch testing or direct skin contact with valve fragments.
