European S2k guidelines on management of autoimmune blistering diseases in children and adolescents

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, EarlyView.
Autoimmune blistering disorders (AIBDs) in children are rare, challenging to diagnose and treat and often require immunosuppressants. Until now, no paediatric care guidelines existed. The EADV Task Force for AIBDs has developed the consensus‐based recommendations, enabling physicians to adopt a uniform, tailored treatment strategy to improve outcomes ...

Nerve Function and Dysfunction in Acute Intermittent Porphyria

, 2009
Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is a rare metabolic disorder characterized by mutations of the porphobilinogen deaminase gene. Clinical manifestations of AIP are caused by the neurotoxic effects of increased porphyrin precursors, although the ...

The “5L” framework of diagnostic reasoning: A stepwise scaffold to support clinician educators

Journal of Hospital Medicine, Volume 21, Issue 6, Page 665-669, June 2026.
Abstract Diagnostic reasoning (DR) is a core clinical skill, yet its teaching remains variable. We introduce the “5L” framework as a bedside teaching scaffold that gives educators and learners a shared, stepwise set of prompts for DR during individual encounters. By asking, “What's Lethal? What's Likely? What's Logical? What's Lurking?
