A report from the American Academy of Dermatology 70th Annual Meeting (March 16-20, 2012--San Diego, California, USA).

摘要

Hydrating the skin to maintain its healthy appearance and prevent diseases is a basic concern of all dermatologists, although all the rain persistently falling over San Diego during this year's American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) meeting seemed to point towards prevention of moisture-associated diseases rather than a need for skin hydration. Nevertheless, the rooms were gray inside the convention center, wherein scientific presentations and technical exhibits fought to attract the over 10,000 attendees to the meeting crowding rooms, aisles and floors. The following report briefly reviews news reported on therapies for skin diseases, focused mostly on new clinical research and the results of randomized, controlled trials.
