An anonymous 9-question survey was composed and distributed to members of the Texas Dermatological Society to evaluate dermatologists' prescription of commercial tanning beds for treatment of certain dermatologic and other medical conditions and to seek opinions on whether commercial tanning beds are a legitimate medical therapy. Results show that although dermatologists agree recreational tanning should always be discouraged, some Texas dermatologists do occasionally recommend commercial tanning bed use for some conditions in patients who cannot afford traditional inoffice phototherapy because they lack insurance or have high copays or for those patients who live in regions with limited access to in-office phototherapy or have significant barriers to coming into the clinic. Conditions for which patients are referred to commercial tanning beds include psoriasis, renal prurigo, atopic dermatitis, and mycosis fungoides. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abnormal epidermal turnover in psoriatic skin impairs its barrier function and tissue repair capabilities. Therefore, studies of hyperkeratinization and hyperproliferation have been conducted to better understand the disease. Here, the administration of heavy water and a tape stripping method are used to measure skin protein turnover in psoriatic skin and surrounding tissues. Results demonstrate benefits over other proliferation measurements. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article focuses on the treatment of skin disease psoriasis. For years biotech firms had tried but failed to develop drugs for psoriasis. Scientists thought it was a skin disease, but in the mid-1980s they realized it is caused by a breakdown in the immune system. In a cruel twist, the body's disease-fighting T cells attack healthy skin cells, misidentifying them as foreign. Psoriatic skin tries to repair itself by generating new cells, but it does so seven times as fast as healthy skin. It is reported that a drug named Amevive, from Biogen Inc., has been effective in the treatment of the disease.
