Chronicles of A.I. Pospelov Moscow Society of Dermatovenerologists and Cosmetologists (MSDС was founded on October 4, 1891)

On December 17 we held our last meeting of Moscow Society of Dermatologists and Cosmetologists named after A.I. Pospelov in person.

The meeting was held in the conference hall of the V.A. Rakhmanov Clinic of Skin and Venereal Diseases (Sechenov University) and took place in a face-to-face format. There were 110 participants and 2 memberships were approved.

Two reports were presented in the clinical part of the meeting. The report on ANCA vasculitis (antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies) highlighted not only the etiopathogenesis of the disease, but also diagnostic difficulties due to polymorphism of skin manifestations. Thus, in the presented clinical case 6 years passed from the debut of ANCA vasculitis to the final diagnosis, and 11 doctors of different specialities participated in the treatment of the patient.

Two theories of pathogenesis of mammary form of Paget's cancer were reported in another report of the clinical part of the session, which also presented a case of the disease that ended with surgery.

The first report of the scientific part of the meeting on antibacterial properties of low-temperature argon plasma, in addition to the historical excursion, interested the audience in the modern fields of application (purulent surgery, traumatology, military field surgery, plastic and maxillofacial surgery, dermatology and cosmetology, etc.), as well as the results of their own research on the effectiveness of argon plasma in the treatment of acne and gangrenous pyoderma.

The report on the prospects of anticytokine therapy for toxic epidermal necrolysis included clinical examples of successful treatment of the disease, while the report on dermatoses and skin tumours of the breast and nipple-areolar complex focused on pathological conditions that somehow lead to malignant neoplasms (hyperkeratosis of the nipple and areola, added nipple, scleroatrophic lichen, nipple eczema, etc.).
