In this issue of Forum I welcome Kristian Kofoed as a new regional editor from Denmark, a task he has taken over from Robert Gniadecki who has served Forum for many years. I am most grateful for all efforts given by Robert and wish him the best of luck during his stay in Canada. Kristian Kofoed starts his editorial work in this issue by informing us all about some worrying facts regarding the development of venereological diseases in Denmark. Instead of steadily diminishing, the prevalence of STI is actually increasing in some areas( p. 87 – 88).
The Editor-in-Chief of Acta Dermato-Venereologica( Professor Anders Vahlquist) has selected 20 out of nearly 250 articles published in Acta Dermato-Venereologica during 2016. On page 89 – 93 a short commentary on each of the 20 papers from 5 different research areas is presented.
On page 99 – 102, you will find some information regarding NDA: 1) A letter from the General Secretary, and 2) Information regarding a forthcoming NDA course on Virtual Dermatopathology.
From an educational point of view you will hopefully find a case report on Recurrent UVA Photosensitive Erythema Multiforme as well as a quiz on how to Diagnose a Skin Lesion by Dermoscopy of interest.
The Finnish Dermatological Society has become 100 years. Read about their celebrations on page 107 – 109.
Several dissertations and meeting reports are also presented.
Last, but not least, I want to inform you about all news that has been implemented in Acta Dermato-Venereologica. Read more on page 113.
Please enjoy!
