    Description: The European CORDEX (EURO-CORDEX) initiative is a large voluntary effort that seeks to advance regional climate and Earth system science in Europe. As part of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) - Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX), it shares the broader goals of providing a model evaluation and climate projection framework and improving communication with both the General Circulation Model (GCM) and climate data user communities. EURO-CORDEX oversees the design and coordination of ongoing ensembles of regional climate projections of unprecedented size and resolution (0.11° EUR-11 and 0.44° EUR-44 domains). Additionally, the inclusion of empirical-statistical downscaling allows investigation of much larger multi-model ensembles. These complementary approaches provide a foundation for scientific studies within the climate research community and others. The value of the EURO-CORDEX ensemble is shown via numerous peer-reviewed studies and its use in the development of climate services. Evaluations of the EUR-44 and EUR-11 ensembles also show the benefits of higher resolution. However, significant challenges remain. To further advance scientific understanding, two flagship pilot studies (FPS) were initiated. The first investigates local-regional phenomena at convection-permitting scales over central Europe and the Mediterranean in collaboration with the Med-CORDEX community. The second investigates the impacts of land cover changes on European climate across spatial and temporal scales. Over the coming years, the EURO-CORDEX community looks forward to closer collaboration with other communities, new advances, supporting international initiatives such as the IPCC reports, and continuing to provide the basis for research on regional climate impacts and adaptation in Europe.

    Notes: Five patients were each challenged orally with a drug which had previously induced a fixed drug eruption. A positive reaction occurred in all the patients. Punch biopsies were taken 6–12 h, 24h and 3 weeks after challenge. The specimens were tested with different mouse anti-human monoclonal antibodies to identify T lymphocytes and phenotypic subsets, natural killer cells, B lymphocytes, OKT-6 and HLA-DR-positive cells. T suppressor/cytotoxic cells seemed to play a major role in initiating the flare-up reaction and preserving the cutaneous memory function of the fixed drug eruption.

    Notes: Several factors, such as amount of allergen, vehicle, anatomic site, immunologic status and previous eczema, may influence delayed hypersensitivity reactions. In an extended model, we have studied the significance of previous allergic contact dermatitis for elicitation of delayed hypersensitivity to nickel in 25 nickel-allergic females. On 3 occasions, 8, 4 and 1 months before the final challenge patch testing, an experimental allergic contact dermatitis from nickel was induced on the lower back. At the challenge patch testing, 4 identical dilution series of nickel were tested on 4 areas on the lower back 3 with previous but healed dermatitis and I control area. The tests were read in a blind way. A significantly higher test reactivity was found at the areas with a previous allergic contact dermatitis, the shorter the time interval between the previous provocation and the challenge, the stronger the reaction. These results may be of importance for the understanding of factors contributing to chronicity of allergic contact dermatitis.

    Notes: Chronic leg ulcers represent a major health-care problem with considerable socioeconomic impact. Patients with seemingly therapy-resistant leg ulcers are common to all clinics. The purpose of the present study was to (1) examine a group of patients with nonhealing venous leg ulcers treated with a double-layer bandage and (2) evaluate whether the addition of an interactive hydrocolloid wound dressing could initiate healing in these patients. Twenty-two patients with ulcers caused by venous insufficiency were included. The patients had a mean ulcer duration of 27.6 years. Duration of the present ulcer was at least 1 year (mean ≥ 4.1 years). Twenty of the 22 patients showed massive lipodermatosclerosis. Before inclusion, all patients had used double-layer bandage consisting of a zinc-impregnated bandage or stocking and a self-adhesive compression bandage for 1 year or longer without improvement. The new regimen was a triple-layer treatment with the hydrocolloid water applied over the ulcer and the traditional double-layer bandage unchanged. Three patients were dropped from the study. Nineteen patients were followed until healing or for 10 months. Nine of the 19 patients who completed the study healed. Ulcer area was reduced by 70% or greater in 7 patients and by 30% to 40% in two patients. One ulcer did not respond to the treatment and worsened slightly. The results of this study were encouraging and indicate that the triple-layer treatment with the hydrocolloid dressing applied to the ulcer should be evaluated in a randomized, controlled study in patients with less pessimistic prognoses.

    Notes: The release of nickel to boiling water from new and used saucepans of different material was measured. No nickel was released from aluminium, teflon and enamel. Certain amounts of nickel were released from stainless steel, but only al acid pH.

    Notes: 63 female patients with nickel allergy and hand eczema were reinvestigated 6 years after the primary investigation. 30% of the patients were healed. Patients with the pompholyx-type eczema had the worst prognosis. The start of hand eczema was not correlated to any particular occupation. There was a strong correlation between a history of metal sensitivity and a positive patch test reaction. High frequencies of personal and family atopy were found, and atopy made the prognosis worse. Determination of serum IgE was not found to be of any use in predicting the prognosis in patients with nickel allergy and hand eczema.

    Notes: Eleven patients with nickel allergy and hand eczema of the pompholyx type were treated with disulfiram 200 mg daily for 8 weeks. 2 patients healed and 8 improved considerably. Mild relapses were observed in all patients within 2–16 weeks after discontinuation of treatment. Liver enzymes should be carefully monitored during disulfiram therapy.

    Notes: Serum from guinea pigs exposed to a single high dose of UVB and from controls was injected into the spleen of normal animals 5 days prior to sensitization. When 1.0 ml was transferred 4.5 h after irradiation, immunosuppression was obtained. Transfer of 1.5 ml of serum 2.5 h after irradiation failed to induce immunosuppression. This experimental model in guinea pigs might be valuable in further studies investigating the effect of other modalities of ultraviolet exposure (e.g., PUVA or high-dose UVA) on the release of soluble serum factor(s) inducing immunosuppression in allergic contact dermatitis.

    Notes: A clinical study was performed in 66 female patients with hand eczema and contact allergy to nickel. They were drawn from a basic material of 165 patients with nickel allergy in which hand eczema occurred in 86 cases (52 %). The hand eczema started at an average age of 32 years and ii had been preceded by a metal hypersensitivity for an average of 6 years. The eczema was found to the chronic with a mean duration up to the time of examination of 8 years. It was associated with secondary eruptions in half of the cases. The hand eczema showed a low degree of relevance with regard to dependance of occupation or vacation, as well as to exacerbation of the dermatitis after a direct contact with nickel-coated objects. The clinical examination disclosed in 77 % a pompholyx, i.e. a symmetric vesicular eruption mainly located on the palms and volar aspects of fingers, and sides of fingers. The eczema often showed a periodic activity, with about 15 annual eruptions in the pompholyx cases. It is concluded that simple external contact with the metal can hardly explain the most common clinical pattern of the hand eczema in nickel allergy.
