This study features one of our esteemed Maui Derm faculty Johnathan I. Silverberg, MD, PhD and it asked whether starting upadacitinib with flexible escalation outperforms dupilumab in adolescents and adults with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis for achieving near complete skin clearance and little to no itch by Week 16.

Jonathan I. Silverberg, MD, PhD and colleagues reported the findings in the British Journal of Dermatology in 2025. The primary endpoint was reached by 19.9 percent with upadacitinib vs 8.9 percent with dupilumab at Week 16, with a key secondary of near clear skin in 40.8 percent vs 22.5 percent and faster itch improvement by Day 2 in post hoc daily tracking.

Safety showed no new signals and remained consistent with expected profiles, with more acne and herpes zoster on upadacitinib and more conjunctivitis and arthralgia on dupilumab. Source: Silverberg et al. (Br J Dermatol, 2025)

This study evaluated whether Mindera Health’s Mind.Px test could guide psoriasis biologic selection more effectively than the usual trial-and-error approach.

Our esteemed faculty, Bruce E. Strober, MD, PhD and colleagues reported their findings in Journal of Dermatology for NPs and PAs, 2025.

When physicians used Mind.Px results, concordance with optimal biologic selection rose to 93.1 percent vs 65.4 percent without guidance.

Patients whose care was guided by Mind.Px achieved PASI-75 faster, by Week 4, and more frequently by Week 12. No new safety signals were identified, and overall safety matched known profiles of biologic therapies. Source: Strober et al. (JDNPPA, 2025)

It started as leg bruising in an otherwise healthy teen.
It ended with a systemic diagnosis.

This case describes a 15-year-old girl with tender, hyperpigmented nodules on both shins. One of our esteemed faculty, Leigh Ann Pansch, MSN, FNP-BC, DCNP reported in the Journal of Dermatology for NPs & PAs (September/October 2025) that biopsy confirmed erythema nodosum, a common panniculitis subtype.

Laboratory testing revealed elevated f***l calprotectin, and the patient was subsequently diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. The lesions resolved with NSAIDs alone, and corticosteroids were not required. The case highlights the importance of systemic evaluation when panniculitis presents in adolescents.
