Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemiology of superficial fungal infections.
TL;DR: Global patterns of dermatophyte infection and the changing epidemiology of the causative agents are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A synonymous SNP of the corneodesmosin gene leads to increased mRNA stability and demonstrates association with psoriasis across diverse ethnic groups
Francesca Capon,Michael H. Allen,M Ameen,A. David Burden,David Tillman,Jonathan Barker,Richard C. Trembath +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a comparison of CDSN intragenic haplotypes showed that SNPs exclusive to disease-associated chromosomes are located in regions implicated in the stabilization of RNA transcripts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic Analysis of PSORS1 Distinguishes Guttate Psoriasis and Palmoplantar Pustulosis
Kati Asumalahti,M Ameen,Sari Suomela,Eva Hagforsen,Gerd Michaëlsson,J C Evans,Margo Munro,Colin Veal,Michael H. Allen,Joyce Leman,D Burden,B. Kirby,Maureen Connolly,Christopher E.M. Griffiths,Richard C. Trembath,Juha Kere,Juha Kere,Ulpho Saarialho-Kere,Jonathan Barker +18 more
TL;DR: The PSORS1 locus in the major histocompatibility complex region is the major genetic determinant for psoriasis vulgaris as discussed by the authors, and it has been shown that specific allelic variants of the genes HLA-Cw*6, HCR*WWCC, and CDSN*5 are strongly associated with the pathogenesis of the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficacy of imipenem therapy for Nocardia actinomycetomas refractory to sulfonamides.
M Ameen,Roberto Arenas,Elsa Vásquez del Mercado,Ramón Arce Fernández,Edoardo Torres,Rogelio Zacarías +5 more
TL;DR: Imipenem monotherapy or in combination with amikacin is well tolerated and demonstrates efficacy in severe disease refractory to sulfonamides, and sulfonamide combinations are effective for limited disease of relatively short duration.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Crohn's disease-associated insertion polymorphism (3020insC) in the NOD2 gene is not associated with psoriasis vulgaris, palmo-plantar pustular psoriasis or guttate psoriasis.
C Young,Michael H. Allen,Andrew P. Cuthbert,M Ameen,Colin Veal,Joyce Leman,A. D. Burden,B. Kirby,Christopher E.M. Griffiths,Richard C. Trembath,Christopher G. Mathew,Jonathan Barker +11 more
TL;DR: This particular insertion mutation in the NOD2 gene does not appear to contribute to the genetic susceptibility of psoriasis vulgaris, PPP, palmo‐plantar pustular Psoriasis, guttate psOriasis and the control group.
