View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: The Sun Protection Outreach Teaching by Students (SPOTS) program previously demonstrated benefits to adolescents and medical students in the Midwest. Six years later, there have been significant program enhancements and geographic outreach has expanded.
Objective: This multi-institutional program evaluation study sought to quantify the efficacy of the enhanced SPOTS program in improving skin cancer knowledge, sun-safe attitudes, and sun protection behaviors in adolescents living in multiple geographic regions of the United States.
Background: Scalp skin cancers have delayed detection due to their discreet location. Hairstylists are uniquely positioned to alert their clients about possible scalp skin cancers.
Objective: This study aimed to educate hairstylists on the basic concepts of skin cancer, increase their confidence in identifying suspicious lesions, and, subsequently, their likelihood of referring to dermatology.
Background: With the evolution of residency applications and the myriad of roles that program coordinators (PCs) undertake, there is a gap in the medical education literature surrounding PCs' role in the resident selection process.
Objective: We sought to quantify the role of Dermatology residency PCs in the resident selection process and the unique perspective they gain from their interactions with applicants.
Methods: PC- and program director (PD)-specific surveys were designed and distributed in 2023 via email to Dermatology PDs via the Association of Professors of Dermatology (APD) listserv and to PCs via email using the contact information found on publicly available residency program websites.
A Case of Pleomorphic Dermal Sarcoma: Giant Exophytic Tumor of the Medial Canthus.
Dermatopathology (Basel)
December 2023
We present the case of a 99-year-old Caucasian female who was referred for treatment of a painless, 8.0 cm × 7.8 cm exophytic, pedunculated, ulcerated tumor of the left medial canthus.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Surgical site infections (SSIs) are the most common adverse events after Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS). However, there is a paucity of literature characterizing gram-negative (GN) SSIs after MMS.
Objective: This study aimed to depict the clinical features and risk factors of GN infections after MMS.
Background: Full-thickness skin grafts (FTSGs) are useful repairs for reconstructing nasal alar defects. Traditional donor sites include the preauricular, postauricular, and supraclavicular skin.
Objective: To evaluate esthetic outcomes and complications of nasal alar defects repaired with FTSGs from the medial cheek.
Objectives: Identify which delivery modality for skin reconstruction care, face-to-face (FTF) in-person versus two telemedicine modalities, store-and-forward (S&F) and live video chat (LVC), is patient preferred and how cost, access, wait time, and demographics influence this preference.
Study Design: Cross-sectional survey.
Methods: A 16-question survey querying demographics and five scenario-specific preferences questions for the delivery of skin cancer reconstruction care was created and distributed via Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk), a crowdsourcing online marketplace, and in-person to Mohs micrographic surgery patients.
