Publication Open Access Which dermatology patients attend to Dermatology Outpatient Clinics during the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak in Turkey and what happened to them?(2020-05-11T04:00:00Z) CENGİZ, Fatma Pelin; EMİROĞLU, Nazan; BAHALI, ANIL GÜLSEL; DİZMAN, DİDEM; TAŞLIDERE, NAZAN; MERT, Ömer; Akarslan, Tahsin Cagdas; Gunes, Begum; KÜÇÜK, Özlem Su; ONSUN, Nahide; CENGİZ, FATMA PELIN; EMİROĞLU, NAZAN; BAHALI, ANIL GÜLSEL; DİZMAN, DİDEM; TAŞLIDERE, NAZAN; GÜNEŞ, BEGÜM; MERT, ÖMER; SU KÜÇÜK, ÖZLEM; ONSUN, NAHIDECoronavirus disease, first emerged in Wuhan, rapidly spread all over the world since December 2019. There are concerns about elective dermatology appointments and its results. Herein, we aimed to find out which type of dermatologic patients attended to dermatology outpatient clinic. The patients visiting the clinics for elective dermatologic diseases between March 11 and 18, 2020, were included in this study. Their age, sex, diagnosis of disease, requirement for emergent intervention, and their medical records about COVID-19 were obtained. There were 390 patients attending to the dermatology outpatient clinic in this period. The most common disease was acne (N: 94, 24%), only 19% of patients need emergent interventions or dose adjustment. There were 40 (10%) patients over the age of 65. After their visits, five patients were diagnosed as COVID-19 in 2weeks. Dermatologic examinations may be a vector for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission since being closed to the patient. Five of our patients were diagnosed as COVID-19 after their elective visit to hospital. Since the asymptomatic course of some young patients, most of our patients were not screened for COVID-19. Our findings support the concerns of elective physician examinations.Publication Open Access Retention and survival rate of etanercept in psoriasis over 15 years and patient outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic: The real-world experience of a single center(2020-12-01T00:00:00Z) GÜNEŞ, BEGÜM; ONSUN, Nahide; YABACI, AYŞEGÜL; ONSUN, NAHIDE; GÜNEŞ, BEGÜM; YABACI TAK, AYŞEGÜLThere have been a number of investigations of the efficacy and safety of etanercept. This study was performed to obtain long-term drug survival data (ie, time to drug discontinuation) for etanercept, and the reasons for its discontinuation. The study population consisted of patients with psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis followed up by our clinic, registered in the Turkish Psoriasis Registry (PSR-TR) and treated with etanercept for at least 4 weeks between January 1, 2005, and January 31, 2020. The efficacy of etanercept was evaluated in terms of the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) 75, PASI 90 and PASI 100 response rates at 12, 24, 36, and 48 weeks, and annually thereafter. The behaviors of the patients with respect to the use of etanercept, and the outcomes of those who continued to use it during the COVID-19 pandemic, were also investigated.Publication Metadata only A'dan Z'ye Kaposi Sarkomu(Galenos Yayın Evi, 2023-03-01) Onsun N. (Editör); ONSUN, NAHIDEPublication Metadata only Cyclosporine(2022-01-01T00:00:00Z) ONSUN, Nahide; ONSUN, NAHIDECyclosporine is an immunosuppressive agent used in the treatment of psoriasis. It shows its action through calcineurin inhibition and T-lymphocytes. With its rapid effect, it can be used as an induction therapy in plaque, pustular and erythrodermic psoriasis. Its most common side effects are elevated serum creatinin values and arterial hypertension. In long-term treatment not to exceed 2 years, it may be used under nephrology control.Publication Open Access Prognostic factors of patients with mycosis fungoides(2020-01-01T00:00:00Z) BAHALI, ANIL GÜLSEL; Su, Özlem Su; CENGİZ, Fatma Pelin; EMİROĞLU, Nazan; Ozkaya, Dilek Biyik; ONSUN, Nahide; BAHALI, ANIL GÜLSEL; SU KÜÇÜK, ÖZLEM; CENGİZ, FATMA PELIN; EMİROĞLU, NAZAN; ONSUN, NAHIDEIntroduction: Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common type of primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Prognostic factors may help to evaluate the course of the disease and may also be useful in selecting appropriate treatment plans for patients.Publication Metadata only Primary cutaneous lymphomas and Coronavirus disease-2019: A critical overview of primary cutaneous lymphoma management in pandemic(2022-01-01T00:00:00Z) Ornek, Sinem; BİLGİÇ, ASLI; YAZİCİ, SERKAN; BAYRAMGÜRLER, DİLEK; ŞANLI, HATİCE; ONSUN, Nahide; ONSUN, NAHIDECoronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) is a serious cause of respiratory tract infection, and its severe course has been associated with some risk factors, including malignancies and immunosuppressive treatments. Primary cutaneous lymphomas (PCL) are a heterogeneous group of immune system neoplasms, which are subclassified as indolent and aggressive types according to their survival rates. PCL treatment ranges from skin-based therapies to systemic treatments, of which immunosuppressive effects occur in some. During the COVID-19 pandemic, patients with PCL should be protected from possible COVID-19 complications, and the optimal treatment should be provided to control the disease taking into account the treatment-related risks. Therefore, recommendations about the management of patients with PCL during the COVID-19 pandemic were overviewed in light of the literature. Topical treatments can generally be considered low-risk therapies and can be continued without interruption. Phototherapy, skin radiotherapy, and total skin electron beam therapy increase the risk of COVID-19 exposure due to hospital visits. Moderate-risk therapies like interferons, systemic retinoids, methotrexate, and systemic corticosteroids might be used with caution. Advanced-stage patients with COVID-19 related comorbidity and who previously received immunosuppressive therapy should be carefully evaluated. Biological agents and systemic chemotherapeutics, which are considered high-risk, should not be delayed when needed. However, increasing intervals between treatments or switching to alternative therapies may be preferable in stable diseases. Most importantly, all patients with PCL should be ensured to comply with general protection measures as long as the pandemic continues.
