Experimental dermatological research has been carried out for several decades at the Department of Dermatology and Allergology, University of Szeged, where our main focus
is to uncover the pathogenesis of selected skin diseases and to develop new therapeutic methods to treat them. During these years, with the support of Prof. Dr. Attila Dobozy,
our Department has gained a considerable national and international recognition. As a result, one of the most important milestones and also the recognition of this work was the
establishment of the MTA-SZTE Dermatology Research Group, where clinicians collaborate with researchers to achieve our goals. During these years we have successfully established
a collaboration among the three major tasks of our Department: research, education and patient care, and this synergy resulted in a solid foundation for a professional work.

Authors present two cases, an 80-year-old female and an 84-years-old male patient, who attended our outpatient clinic with several weeks long itching bullous skin symptoms localized on the vulva and the scrotum. Based on the clinical symptoms the possibility of bullous pemphigoid was suspected in both cases. Biopsy was taken from the vulva and the scrotum for direct immunofluorescent and routine histological examination, both confirmed the suspected diagnosis. Topical therapy was applied in both patients with success.

In ANCA-associated vasculitis cutaneous manifestations are frequently observed. Although, they show no specific features, they can be associated with the activity of the disease.
Various skin lesions are more frequent in eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) than in granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) or microscopic polyangiitis
(MPA). Data on the clinical significance of cutaneous manifestations and on the clinico-pathological correlations are lacking. In this article we review the cases of three patients
diagnosed with EGPA, presenting their clinical manifestations and the efficacy of the therapy. Based on our experience we conclude that cutaneous manifestations can be considered as an early activation marker for EGPA, but the various clinical patterns do not correlate with the prognosis and severity of the disease.

The authors provide an overview of the novel diagnostic and treatment methods used in the dermatooncology unit, which was initiated 25 years ago by Attila Dobozy academician.
Besides the general principles of the diagnostic and therapeutic interventions, they present shortly their efficacy and their own experiences.

The authors provide an overview of novel treatment possibilities in psoriasis and hidradenitis suppurativa. After a discussion of general principles they present detailed descriptions of the currently available therapeutics regarding their efficacy and their application in an everyday clinical setting.

This review outlines the novel pathomechanical and therapeutical properties of chronic wounds and lymphedema stressing the important role in th development of both disease.
However compression therapy still represents the cornerstone of all treatment modalities of chronic venous origin wounds and lymphedema, recent reports brought up challenging
results that may possess new perspectives in the improvement of therapy.

Significant changes have emerged in the field of plastic and reconstruction procedures in the last couple of years due to accelerated lifestyle and higher demands of patients. In addition to the previously widely used treatment alternatives often including radical surgical interventions, there is a clear tendency observable towards less invasive methods. The number of fast, easily manageable „lunch time” surgeries providing appropriate aesthetical outcome has significantly risen lately.
One should always try to choose the most appropriate procedure that will satisfy both the patient and the surgeon.
