A Novel Topical Emollient Plus for Canine Atopic Dermatitis: A Clinical Trial Assessing Efficacy and User Acceptance. [PDF]
Background: Canine atopic dermatitis (cAD) is a common, chronic skin condition characterised by epidermal barrier dysfunction, immune dysregulation and cutaneous dysbiosis. While “emollient plus” formulations are widely used in human atopic dermatitis, their role in cAD remains underexplored. Hypothesis/Objectives: To evaluate the clinical efficacy and

Efficacy of Der f 2/Zen 1-LAMP1 Plasmid-Based Vaccine Immunotherapy in Dogs With Atopic Dermatitis: A Proof-of-Concept Study. [PDF]
Background: DNA‐based vaccination rapidly induces strong cellular and humoral immune responses, which may be enhanced by inclusion of lysosomal‐associated membrane protein‐1 (LAMP). Objectives: This proof‐of‐concept study evaluated the efficacy and safety of a Der f 2/Zen 1‐LAMP‐based DNA vaccine immunotherapy in client‐owned dogs with nonseasonal AD ...

Randomised, Double-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled Challenge Test With Single Food Items in Dogs With Atopic Dermatitis and Adverse Food Reactions. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Identification of offending foods in dogs with adverse food reactions is usually based on “deterioration” during open food challenges. Objectives To examine the placebo effect during double‐blinded, placebo‐controlled food challenges using a predefined set of criteria for relapse.

Machine Learning Model for an App-Based Tool to Assist With the Diagnosis of Canine Atopic Dermatitis. [PDF]
Canine atopic dermatitis (cAD) is a chronic condition requiring life‐long management. Accurate diagnosis can be challenging, with no reliable diagnostic test. This study aimed to generate a simple diagnostic model for cAD. This model is a relevant prototype for an app‐based tool to support general practitioners in the diagnosis of cAD alongside ...

Evaluation of filaggrin 2 expression in dogs with atopic dermatitis before and after oclacitinib maleate administration. [PDF]
Background – Canine atopic dermatitis (cAD) is a chronic, inflammatory, multifactorial and pruritic disease. The presence of skin barrier impairment (e.g. filaggrin alterations), along with abnormal immune responses, can negatively impact cutaneous barrier function.

Effect of a Spray Containing Occlusive Agents, Humectants and Physiological Lipids on Skin Hydration of Healthy Dogs When Applied After Bathing With a Chlorhexidine 2%/Miconazole 2% Shampoo. [PDF]
Background: Normal hydration of the canine epidermis is imperative for cutaneous homeostasis. Xerosis may be encountered in canine atopic dermatitis and may be aggravated by topical antiseptics. Hypothesis and Objectives: To evaluate the hydrating properties and the safety of a spray (Sensiderm spray; MP Labo) when applied after shampooing healthy dogs

Development of a Four-Language Questionnaire to Investigate Environmental Risk Factors for the Development of Canine Atopic Dermatitis and to Monitor Disease Course and Progression. [PDF]
Background: The chronic and multifactorial character of canine atopic dermatitis (cAD) often leads to poor disease control and treatment dissatisfaction. Environmental factors are likely to contribute to the disease development and may play a more important role than assumed previously.

An open-label pilot study on an adsorbent mousse containing adelmidrol in client-owned cats with feline atopic skin syndrome and associated seborrhoea. [PDF]
Background – Besides pruritus and skin lesions, cats with feline atopic skin syndrome (FASS) may have seborrhoea. Hypothesis/Objectives – The aim of this pilot study was to investigate whether an adsorbent mousse containing tapioca starch, adelmidrol and a nonpharmacological antimicrobial complex could decrease FASS‐associated seborrhoea in cats ...
