TL;DR: Ro 10--9359 proved to be an extremely potent antipsoriatic drug and a more than 90% reduction of psoriatic lesions could be seen in 10 patients out of 20 after 4-8 weeks of treatment.
Abstract: Ro 10–9359 is a retinoic acid derivative, selected for study because of a better tolerance than retinoic acid, shown in animal experiments. Doses of 25 mg b.i.d., 25 mg t.i.d. and 50 mg b.i.d. were ad

TL;DR: Assessment methods for atopic dermatitis are not standardized, and therapeutic studies are difficult to interpret, so consensus on these methods is needed to obtain a consensus on them.
Abstract: Background . Assessment methods for atopic dermatitis (AD) are not standardized, and therapeutic studies are difficult to interpret. Aims . To obtain a consensus on

TL;DR: The extent of lesions according to the rule of nines showed interobserver variability mostly for patients with lesions of moderate intensity involving 20-60% of body surface, but variations subsided especially for oozing/crusts and lichenifications.
Abstract: Background: We have previously reported how the SCORAD index was designed. This cumulative index combines objective (extent and intensity of lesions) and subjective (daytime pruritu

TL;DR: In the majority of patients, hot weather and sunlight had a beneficial effect and one third of the females also indicated improvement during the course of pregnancy.
Abstract: The natural history of psoriasis was studied through a questionnaire survey of 5,600 patients throughout the United States. The mean age of onset of psoriasis was 27.8 years. 36% of the respondents reported familial occurrence of the disease. At the time of study, the lower extremities were indicated as being the most often affected; trunk, elbow, and scalp were next, knee and face were cited less frequently. Fingernails were involved in half of the patients at some time during the period of their disease. In the majority of patients, hot weather and sunlight had a beneficial effect. One third of the females also indicated improvement during the course of pregnancy. Remissions were reported in 39% of the patients.

TL;DR: The primary function is no doubt to be an aid in grasping anatomy, normal and malformed, and the book is good: it is clear and balanced and well based on modern descriptive work, though, since the vigilance of no writer is perfect, some refining of careless statements will naturally be needed in later editions.
Abstract: A Textbook of Human Embryology. By R. G. Harrison, M.A., D.M. (Pp. xi+244; 144 illustrations. 45s.) Oxford: Blackwell Scientific Publications. 1959. There are many well-tried textbooks of human embryology, scholarly and pedagogically excellent, but all inflated with detail to a size which makes them a trial to most medical students. A book is needed of about the scope of Professor Harrison's, based on consideration of what an ordinary medical student in an ordinary medical course can gain from embryology. The primary function is no doubt to be an aid in grasping anatomy, normal and malformed. For this the book is good: it is clear and balanced and well based on modern descriptive work, though, since the vigilance of no writer is perfect, some refining of careless statements will naturally be needed in later editions. A flavour of experimental work is necessary to prepare the student for future advances that may impinge on medicine: in this admittedly less important aspect, the book is a little disappointing. It is no doubt the incoherence of the subject that makes it so notoriously difficult to give a clear or even reasonably accurate exposition of the experimental analysis of early development. Professor Harrison has tended to pick out one or two papers about each system, and when his choice is unrepresentative the consequence can be an unbalanced picture of the state of knowledge, as in the important topic of sex differentiation. The book is very welr produced.
