Identification of Biomarkers and Critical Evaluation of Biomarker Validation in Hidradenitis Suppurativa A Systematic Review

Samuel Der Sarkissian et al.

Summary: This study systematically identified and evaluated the existing knowledge of biomarkers in hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). The findings showed that none of the identified biomarkers had sufficient clinical validity to be recommended for routine use in clinical practice. Standardization of goals and methods, as well as the integration of biomarkers into clinical trials, are important priorities for the management of HS.

Assessment of inter-rater reliability of clinical hidradenitis suppurativa outcome measures using ultrasonography

A. B. Lyons et al.

Summary: The study evaluated inter-rater reliability in assessing Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) disease severity using clinical and ultrasound techniques. It found that ultrasound improved inter-rater agreement among physicians for assessing disease severity, and should be used in conjunction with physical examination findings.

High-Frequency Ultrasonography Evaluation of Acne by Thickness and Power Doppler Vascular Analysis

Xuanyin Wu et al.

Summary: High-frequency ultrasonography (HF-USG) and power Doppler (PD) can quantitatively assess acne vulgaris, including features like lesion thickness, Qpack ratio, and Qpack peak. These assessments provide a solid basis for the classification and treatment of acne.

Efficacy of high-dose intralesional triamcinolone for hidradenitis suppurativa

Jessica Garelik et al.

Summary: The study investigated the use of high-dose ILTAC-20 mg/ml or ILTAC-40 mg/ml for inflammatory lesions of HS. The majority of patients reported improvements in disease state, quality of life, and overall satisfaction after administration of high-dose ILTAC (20-40 mg/ml). These findings support the use of high-dose ILTAC for acute lesions of HS.

Clinical and Power-Doppler ultrasound features related with persistence of fistulous tracts under treatment with adalimumab in hidradenitis suppurativa: 4 years of follow-up

Raffaele Dante Caposiena Caro et al.

Summary: Fistulous tracts are the hallmark lesions of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and are poorly responsive to current medical treatments. Factors such as high fibrosis and high intensity of PD-US signal are associated with a lower likelihood of healing and longer persistence of fistulas. High fibrosis is the variable with the highest risk of poor response and longer survival, as demonstrated in multivariate regressions.

Hidradenitis Suppurativa in the Pediatric Population An International, Multicenter, Retrospective, Cross-sectional Study of 481 Pediatric Patients

Carmen Liy-Wong et al.

Summary: The study highlighted a gap in recognizing and diagnosing pediatric HS, with pediatric patients likely to present with other comorbidities. More prospective observational and interventional studies are needed to better understand the clinical course and optimal treatments for pediatric HS.

The use of 33 MHz ultra-high-frequency ultrasonography for the evaluation of sweat glands in the axilla with osmidrosis

Akira Shinaoka et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the use of 33 MHz ultra-high-frequency ultrasonography for assessing axillary sweat glands in comparison with histological techniques, finding that it can non-invasively evaluate the distribution of sweat glands in the axilla.

Ultrasound-guided injection of intralesional steroids in acute hidradenitis suppurativa lesions: A prospective study

Michela Iannone et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of ultrasound-guided injections of intralesional triamcinolone on hidradenitis suppurativa flares. Results showed improvements in clinical and ultrasound outcomes, as well as a significant reduction in pain, quality of life, and physician assessment scores. Long-term follow-up confirmed these benefits without any reported adverse effects, suggesting that this treatment approach should be considered for HS flares resistant to topical therapy.

Should We Scan Hidradenitis Suppurativa Patients? A Systematic Review of Radiologic Findings

Gabriel Gutfilen-Schlesinger et al.

Summary: The study aims to emphasize the importance of imaging techniques in the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) while highlighting their critical role in the management of the disease. It is strongly recommended for clinical providers to make full use of these techniques to improve patient care and outcomes.

Comparison of clinical and sonographic scores in hidradenitis suppurativa and proposal of a novel ultrasound scoring system

Gianluca Nazzaro et al.

Summary: The study showed significant disagreement between clinical and ultrasonography scores in assessing Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) patients. Ultrasonography was able to detect HS lesions, such as fistulae, that were not clinically evident, suggesting a higher sensitivity of ultrasonography compared to clinics in HS.
