- Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) can cause serious side effects, including a severe skin condition called epidermal necrosis, which can resemble Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN).
- In a study of 98 cases of ICI-associated epidermal necrosis, it was noted that symptoms can develop anywhere from 1 day to 3 years after starting treatment, with more severe cases often showing a preceding rash and mucosal involvement linked to fatal outcomes.
- Most patients recover, but young age was associated with worse outcomes in extensive disease, highlighting that ICI-associated epidermal necrosis may be different from other drug-induced skin conditions.
3D bioprinting: a review and potential applications for Mohs micrographic surgery.

Mohs Micrographic Surgery (MMS) is effective for treating common cutaneous malignancies, but complex repairs may often present challenges for reconstruction. This paper explores the potential of three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting in MMS, offering superior outcomes compared to traditional methods. 3D printing technologies show promise in advancing skin regeneration and refining surgical techniques in dermatologic surgery.

Disaster Med Public Health Prep
August 2020
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has greatly impacted health-care systems worldwide, leading to an unprecedented rise in demand for health-care resources. In anticipation of an acute strain on established medical facilities in Dallas, Texas, federal officials worked in conjunction with local medical personnel to convert a convention center into a Federal Medical Station capable of caring for patients affected by COVID-19. A 200,000 square foot event space was designated as a direct patient care area, with surrounding spaces repurposed to house ancillary services.
