“…During the First World War, sunlight therapy became known, and several hospitals and clinics were built with exposure to solar radiation in England and Germany [27,28]. Currently, sunbathing is used in the treatment of, among others: psoriasis [24,[29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37], atopic dermatitis [35,[38][39][40], acne vulgaris [38,41], as well as rickets, and other diseases associated with vitamin D deficiency [20,21,42,43]. In heliotherapy, the most important thing is the influence on the human body of the mid-ultraviolet light, whose biological activity is at a solar altitude >30 • [13,44].…”

Global solar radiation is an important atmospheric stimulus affecting the human body and has been used in heliotherapy for years. In addition to environmental factors, the effectiveness of global solar radiation is increasingly influenced by human activity. This research was based on the use of heliographic and actinometric data (1996–2015) and the model distribution of global solar radiation to determine the possibility of heliotherapy with the example of two health resorts: Cieplice and Kołobrzeg (Poland). The solar features of health resorts (sunshine duration and global solar radiation) were characterized, and they were correlated with the spatial distribution of global solar radiation data obtained with the use of remote sensing techniques (System for Automated Geoscientific Analyzes-SAGA), including COoRdination and INformation on the Environment (CORINE) land cover (CLC) data. Using the maximum entropy model (MaxEnt), a qualitative and quantitative relationship between morphometric parameters and solar climate features was demonstrated for individual land cover types. Studies have shown that the period of late spring and summer, due to the climate’s solar features, is advisable for the use of heliotherapy. The human activity that determines the land cover is the main element influencing the spatial differentiation of the possibilities of using this form of health treatment. It also affects topographic indicators shown as significant in the MaxEnt predictive model. In general, areas with high openness were shown as predisposed for health treatment using global solar radiation, which is not consistent with areas commonly used for heliotherapy. The conducted research has shown the need for an interdisciplinary approach to the issue of heliotherapy, which will contribute to the optimization of the use of this form of health treatment from the perspective of climate change and human pressure.

and serum tests for circulating autoantibodies. A histopathological examination (HPE) of skin lesions, routinely stained with haematoxylin and eosin (H + E), although unable to detect crucial pathologic autoimmune phenomena, may reveal features suggestive of pemphigus, especially when assessed by an experienced dermatopathologist [3]. Due to the limited repertoire of microscopic patterns available for inflammatory dermatoses, a close, mutual collaboration between the clinician and the pathologist is required in order to make a precise diagnosis. Hence the concept of an international dermatopathological special-AbstrAct Introduction: Diagnosing autoimmune blistering diseases is based on clinical presentation and direct immunofluorescence detection of circulating autoantibodies. However, a histopathological examination of the affected tissues may also be helpful in such a diagnosis. Objective: To present a case illustrating that a histopathological examination facilitates the diagnosis of autoimmune blistering diseases, particularly for a patient with concomitant dermatological conditions. Case report: We present the case of a 91-year-old female patient with symptoms of generalized scaly, crusted erosions on an erythematosus base, who was diagnosed with psoriasis 10 years earlier. Based on a histopathological examination, there was a suspicion of pemphigus foliaceus, which was later confirmed by direct immunofluorescence and the multiparametric ELISA. Conclusions: A histopathological examination is not obligatory for a pemphigus diagnosis; however, in ambiguous cases, where a patient has other concomitant dermatoses, it may significantly improve the accuracy of the diagnosis. The limitations and advantages of histopathological examinations in pemphigus are discussed.
