The 8th Annual Las Vegas Dermatology Seminar, as stated in its name, was held in Las Vegas, NV, USA on 8-11 November 2007. With an attendance of more than 300 people, this well-known event brought together prominent guest speakers from the USA, Italy, Mexico and the Czech Republic to present on numerous topics mostly related to medical dermatology. Additionally, the last day of the event was dedicated to cosmetic dermatology. The meeting had a strong clinical flavor with abundant and useful pearls for the practicing physician. The afternoon sessions focused on biologic therapy for psoriasis, and were targeted at third-year dermatology residents. The practical nature of the seminar was clearly revealed during the resident's symposium, where most of the discussion time was devoted to the analysis of real-life cases/ scenarios, preceded by a short and concise summary of biologics as individual drugs. This session concluded with an interesting discussion on optimal office effectiveness. © 2008 Future Drugs Ltd.
