Abstract
Defining quality indicators is a key strategy for ensuring the quality and standardization of health care. The CUDERMA project, an initiative of the Spanish Academy of Dermatology and Venerology (AEDV), was undertaken to define quality indicators for the certification of specialized units in dermatology; the first 2 areas selected were psoriasis and dermato-oncology. The aim of this study was to reach a consensus on what should be assessed by the indicators used to certify psoriasis units. The structured process used to do this comprised a literature review to identify potential indicators, the selection of an initial set of indicators to be evaluated by a multidisciplinary group of experts and, finally, a Delphi consensus study. A panel of 39 dermatologists evaluated the selected indicators and classified them as either "essential" or "of excellence". Consensus was finally reached on 67 indicators, which will be standardized and used to develop the certification standard for psoriasis units.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For years, phototherapy has been used in a wide range of skin diseases, which is
unsurprising as skin is the anatomical feature most directly exposed to light,
especially in psoriasis. Although the role of light therapy has been replaced by
different therapeutic modalities in recent years, this treatment is now an
established option for many skin diseases. OBJECTIVES The aim was to characterize the patient population thathad received the
aforementioned treatment in the Virgen Macarena Health Area in Seville (Spain)
between June 1985 and October 2011. METHODS We have designed a descriptive study with a univariate analysis covering 443
treatments with light therapy, all administered to the same number of patients
suffering from psoriasis. RESULTS 79.15% of patients were discharged due to improvement or healing, while the 20.85%
were discharged due to other reasons. The average total accumulative dose was
131.53 J/cm2. We do not detected an increase in proportion in patients for develop
NMSK after light therapy treatment. CONCLUSIONS We consider that phototherapy is still an effective and efficient treatment that
will have to be reconsidered in the current macroeconomic context.

Abstract
An eleven month old girl presented with chronic urticaria since three months of age. There was a generalised hyperpigmented maculo-papular rash. Darier sign was positive. The skin biopsy showed plenty of spindle shaped mast cells with eosinophilic cytoplasm infiltrating the dermis and the appendiceal structures. The diagnosis of cutaneous mastocytosis (urticaria pigmentosa) was made. The child received symptomatic relief with chronic oral hydroxyzine and ranitidine therapy. Automated epinephrine self-injectors usually prescribed in this condition for self-management of anaphylactic episodes were not available. Intramuscular administration of (1:1000) diluted adrenaline via a disposable tuberculin syringe was taught to the mother. A medical bracelet containing her diagnosis and instructions in emergency was custom-made for her.
