Antimony Compounds Associate with Atopic Dermatitis and Influence Models of Itch and Dysbiosis

The printed correlation with pediatric atopic dermatitis visits was 0.84 in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, and the Dakotas, and -0.014 elsewhere (PDF p.3).

The printed correlation with pediatric atopic dermatitis visits was 0.84 in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, and the Dakotas, and -0.014 elsewhere (PDF p.3). In vitro, antimony inhibited ceramide-family lipids in Roseomonas mucosa and induced calcium flux blocked by a TRPA1 antagonist. No antimony concentration is printed for those assays.

Key numbers

The printed correlation with pediatric atopic dermatitis visits was 0.84 in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, and the Dakotas, and -0.014 elsewhere (PDF p.3). In vitro, antimony inhibited ceramide-family lipids in Roseomonas mucosa and induced calcium flux blocked by a TRPA1 antagonist. No antimony concentration is printed for those assays.

Methods (brief)

The methods name ICD-10 L40.9 (PDF p.2). That code is psoriasis, unspecified. The title treats the outcome as atopic dermatitis.

Evidence fitness

Supports the printed coefficients and the billing-code conflict. Does not support a diaper-area cohort or a skin-wipe concentration.

Limitations

Ecological association plus in vitro assays.
