Abstract:

Objective. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of and factors associated with self-medication in dermatology in Lomé, Togo.Methods. We conducted an analytical cross-sectional study from February to April 2016 in 2 dermatology departments in Lomé. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were carried out to identify possible factors associated with self-medication.Results. A total of 711 patients were included in the study. The mean age (±SD) of the patients was26.6±6.9years and the sex ratio (male/female) was 0.6. The main dermatologic diseases recorded were immunoallergic dermatoses (39.7%) and infectious skin diseases (22.6%). Two-thirds (481/711; 66.7%) of the patients had practiced self-medication before consultation in dermatology units. In multivariate analysis, factors associated with self-medication were female sex (aOR = 1.44; 95% CI =[1.01, 2.05]), duration of dermatologic disease more than one year (aOR = 1.79; IC =[1.19, 2.68]), adnexal dermatoses (aOR = 2.31; 95% IC =[1.03–5.21]), keratinization disorders (aOR = 4.23; 95% CI =[1.36–13.13]), and fungal skin infections (aOR = 5.43; 95% CI =[2.20, 13.38]).Conclusion. Our study confirms that self-medication practice is very common among patients with dermatologic diseases in Lomé and has identified associated factors.

Abstract:

Background: Telemedicine has been increasingly used in some areas to provide consultation for isolated populations that might otherwise have difficulty accessing specialty care. Little information exists on what types of patients or diseases are being seen in dermatology telemedicine consultation services. Objective: To review our consultations done over a regional telemedicine network with an emphasis on looking at what type of patient, cutaneous diseases, and diagnostic or therapeutic recommendations were made. Results: Between August 1992 and December 1997, 796 teleconsultations were done. The most common diagnoses made were eczemas, follicular based diseases, skin infections, and skin tumours. Steroids were the most commonly recommended therapy, along with antibiotics, antihistamines, and antifungal therapy. Diagnostic recommendations commonly made were a skin biopsy and potassium hydroxide preparation. Conclusion: Common skin problems were seen by our dermatology teleconsultation service. A significant number of diagnostic biopsies and potassium hydroxide preparations were recommended. The efficacy of telemedicine in the delivery of dermatologic care is reviewed.

Abstract:

Background Every two years, German-speaking dermatologic specialist groups gather in Berlin to share the latest developments at Germanýs largest dermatologic conference, the Annual Meeting of the Germany Society of Dermatology (DDG). Because this conference has a lasting effect on dermatologic practice and research, understanding what is moving the specialist groups means understanding what is driving dermatology in Germany. Methods We used word network analysis to compile and visualize the information embedded in the contribution titles to the DDG Annual Meeting in 2019. We extracted words, contributing cities and inter-connections. The data was standardized, visualized using network graphs and analyzed using common network analysis parameters. Results A total of 5509 words were extracted from 1150 contribution titles. The most frequently used words were “therapy”, “patients”, and “psoriasis”. The highest number of contributions came from Hamburg, Berlin and Munich. High diversity in research topics was found, as well as a well-connected research network. Conclusions Focus of the well-connected German-speaking dermatology community meeting 2019 was patient and therapy centered and lies especially on the diseases psoriasis and melanoma. Network graph analysis can provide helpful insights and help planning future congresses. It can facilitate the choice which contributors to include as imbalances become apparent. Moreover, it can help distributing the topics more evenly across the whole dermatologic spectrum.

Abstract:

This study assessed whether a current medical school curriculum is adequately preparing medical students to diagnose and treat common dermatologic conditions. A 15-item anonymous multiple choice quiz covering fifteen diseases was developed to test students’ ability to diagnose and treat common dermatologic conditions. The quiz also contained five items that assessed students’ confidence in their ability to diagnose common dermatologic conditions, their perception of whether they were receiving adequate training in dermatology, and their preferences for additional training in dermatology. The survey was performed in 2014, and was completed by 85 students (79.4%). Many students (87.6%) felt that they received inadequate training in dermatology during medical school. On average, students scored 46.6% on the 15-item quiz. Proficiency at the medical school where the study was performed is considered an overall score of greater than or equal to 70.0%. Students received an average score of 49.9% on the diagnostic items and an average score of 43.2% on the treatment items. The findings of this study suggest that United States medical schools should consider testing their students and assessing whether they are being adequately trained in dermatology. Then schools can decide if they need to re-evaluate the timing and delivery of their current dermatology curriculum, or whether additional curriculum hours or clinical rotations should be assigned for dermatologic training.

Abstract:

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been recognized as an important research field in computer science. Although AI has been around for a while and has been used in many disciplines of medicine, its usage in dermatology is very recent and constrained. Dermatology is a field of bioscience concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of skin diseases. The wide range of dermatologic diseases changes regionally and seasonally according to temperature, humidity, and other environmental factors. Dermatological illnesses have been shown to have major impacts on the behavior of millions of individuals since nearly all forms of skin problems affect everyone every year. Because human analysis of such diseases requires time and effort, and existing techniques are only utilized to analyze certain types of skin diseases, there is a need for higher-level computer-aided skills in the analysis and diagnosis of multi-type skin disorders.

Abstract:

Background Skin diseases are among the most common diseases encountered by healthcare professionals. Despite this, dedicated dermatology teaching is limited in most Canadian medical school training programs. This is especially true of clinical skills training. Objectives To determine the impact of early introduction of dermatology clinical skills in Canadian undergraduate medical training. Secondary objectives included examining the impact of having sessions co-led by a clinician with expertise in the field of dermatology. Methods A half-day dermatology clinical skills session was introduced in the University of Toronto preclerkship medical school during the dermatology week. Sessions were co-led by staff or resident dermatologists. Sessions were evaluated using student pre- and postclinical skills test scores, as well as experience questionnaires completed by both tutors and students. Results The clinical skills session was well received by both students and tutors, with no cumulative score less than 4.34 on a 5-point Likert scale. The majority of students agreed or strongly agreed that the introduction of clinical skills in the early years of the curriculum facilitated learning consolidation (99.5%). Comparison of pre- and post-test scores showed that students’ dermatology comprehension improved by an average of 12.1% following completion of the session. In questionnaire responses, students and nondermatology co-tutors emphasized the impact of having an expert in the field of dermatology co-lead the session. Conclusions Students valued early clinical skills exposure to dermatology and felt it enhanced their knowledge and abilities. This study demonstrates learning consolidation when dermatologic didactic teachings are paired with practical clinical skills sessions.

Abstract:

Background: Dermatologic diseases have considerable effects on patients’ health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The assessment of diseases’ effects on patients’ lives is an important component of disease management. Although Skindex-29 is one of the most utilized measures for assessing dermatology-specific HRQoL, there is no Persian version of it in Iran. This study aimed to translate Skindex-29 into Persian and assess its psychometric properties. Methods: The study was a methodological study, carried out to examine the psychometric properties and factor structure of the Persian version of Skindex-29. The translation was conducted based on Mapi guidelines. In total, 200 dermatologic patients filled in the dermatology life quality index and the Persian version of Skindex-29. Internal consistency reliability was assessed using Cronbach alpha. Convergent validity and known-group validity were evaluated. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted to test construct validity. Results: The final translated version was comprehensible and Cronbach alpha was 0.967. Skindex-29 total score and its subscales exhibited strong correlations with the dermatology life quality index. Known-group validity was supported by the difference between the mild and severe disease groups (P<0.05). Factor analyses identified three well-fitting factors like the original version, which accounted for 69.95% of the variance of the instrument. Conclusion: This study developed an adequate Persian version of Skindex-29, which can be used as a valid and reliable HRQoL instrument to study Iranian dermatologic patients.

Abstract:

Introduction: COVID-19 has significantly decreased the influx of patients presenting with dermatologic diseases at hospitals due to lockdown and restrictions pertaining to stop the spread of COVID-19. Objective: To describe the effect of changes of COVID-19 on the clinical spectrum of patients presenting in dermatology OPD at a tertiary care unit in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. Method: A comparison of the census of the dermatology outpatient department of three corresponding months before and after COVID-19 was done. During the pandemic year (2020) a significant decrease in patients visiting the dermatology outpatient department was observed. Results: This reduction was much more prominent for the extreme of ages i.e. children and elderly. Infections and infestations were the predominant causes of presentation of patients at our dermatology outpatient department in pre-COVID-19 as well as during the pandemic. Patients with serious dermatologic conditions (e.g., pemphigus vulgaris, erythroderma, and cellulitis), however, had significantly fewer visits during the pandemic as compared to Pre COVID-19 era. In contrast, patients suffering from eczema constituted a significantly higher rate of outpatient visits during the pandemic. Conclusion: Patients with serious dermatologic conditions (e.g., pemphigus vulgaris, erythroderma, and cellulitis), had significantly fewer visits during the pandemic as compared to the Pre COVID-19 era. In contrast, patients suffering from eczema constituted a significantly higher rate of outpatient visits during the pandemic.

Abstract:

Off-label prescribing is a common practice in dermatology, particularly when uncommon dermatologic diseases have limited or no approved treatment options. Topical calcineurin inhibitors are approved for the treatment of eczema, and their anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and steroid-sparing effects make them an attractive therapeutic option for a wide variety of other dermatologic diseases. This review summarizes and qualifies the available evidence supporting the clinical effectiveness of tacrolimus ointment and pimecrolimus cream in non-eczema indications. There is high-quality evidence supporting the effectiveness of topical calcineurin inhibitors in multiple dermatological disorders including vitiligo; psoriasis of the face, folds, and genitals; seborrheic dermatitis; chronic hand dermatitis; contact dermatitis; oral lichen planus; lichen sclerosus; morphea; and cutaneous lupus erythematosus. Lower-quality evidence suggests they may be considered as an option in many other cutaneous disorders.

Abstract:

Pruritus is the most frequently described symptom in dermatology and can significantly impair the patient’s quality of life. In 10–50% of adults with persistent pruritus, it can be an important dermatologic clue for the presence of a significant underlying systemic disease such as renal insufficiency, cholestasis, hematologic disorder, or malignancy (Etter and Myers, 2002; Zirwas and Seraly, 2001). This review describes the presence of pruritus in different systemic diseases. It is quite important to discover the cause of pruritus for providing relief for the patients experiencing substantial morbidity caused by this condition.

Abstract:

Context.— Fatal dermatologic diseases and ones with high morbidity can occur in the inpatient setting. In such cases, prompt and accurate assessment of a bedside skin biopsy is required. This may be challenging for many pathologists who are not familiar with the complexity of skin pathology and skin terminology within the fields of dermatopathology and dermatology. Objective.— To provide the pathologist with a practical, up-to-date, and “must-know” reference guide on dermatologic urgencies and emergencies from a real-world perspective, highlighting diagnostic pearls, diagnostic pitfalls, and commonly encountered practice gaps. This review will focus on key diseases with which every pathologist should be familiar, including angioinvasive fungal infections, Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis, staph-scalded-skin syndrome, acute graft-versus-host disease, bullous pemphigoid, calciphylaxis, Sweet syndrome and its histiocytoid variant, pyoderma gangrenosum, and leukocytoclastic vasculitis, as well as those in their clinical and histopathologic differential. Data Sources.— This review is based on peer-reviewed literature and our personal experiences with these diseases at major academic institutions, including one where a large number of stem cell transplants are performed. This review is unique as it represents collaborative expert opinion from both a dermatopathology and a dermatology standpoint. Conclusions.— This review outlines the critical role that the pathologist plays in the outcomes of patients with dermatologic urgencies and emergencies. Improved patient care will result from prompt and accurate histopathologic diagnoses as well as an open line of communication with the dermatologist.

Full text

Abstract:

Biofilms represent densely packed aggregates of microorganisms encased in a self-produced matrix of extracellular polymeric substance, helping in their attachment to biotic and abiotic surfaces conferring them survival advantage in unfavorable conditions. The stages in biofilm formation are complex, the knowledge of which is important as their role in a diverse range of dermatological diseases is being constantly unraveled. Due to their chronic persistent nature, inability of routine culture techniques to detect them and their resistance to standard antimicrobial therapy, they pose a unique challenge to the treating clinician. Although various novel treatment options are available, they show varying degrees of efficacy and the eradication of biofilm in cutaneous diseases still remains enigmatic. Hence, better understanding of their molecular biology, pathogenesis, and role in various diseases can help in the development of potential therapeutic strategies against biofilms in the future.

Abstract:

Background: An accurate, sensitive, but brief quality-of-life outcomes measure is needed for studies of dermatologic care. Objective: To construct a single-page version of Skindex (a dermatologic quality-of-life instrument) that would have two new features compared with the current 29-item version: (1) fewer items to which a majority of patients choose the same response, and (2) measurement of bother rather than frequency of patient experiences. Methods: Random samples of patients waiting for dermatology appointments in clinics of Veterans Affairs hospitals and in private dermatology practices completed questionnaires; 692 patients responded to the parent instrument and 541 additional patients responded to the brief version. Reproducibility, internal consistency reliability, validity, and responsiveness of the brief version of Skindex were determined. Results: For 16 items of the current 29-item version (55%), more than 50% of patients responded “Never.” After an explicit process of item analysis and elimination, a single-page 16-item version was composed that asks patients about bother from their experiences; responses are reported as three scales, Symptoms, Emotions, and Functioning. For 6 items of the 16-item version (38%), more than 50% of patients responded “Never.” Scale scores were reproducible after 72 hours ( r = 0.88–0.90) and were internally reliable (Cronbach's a = 0.86–0.93). The instrument demonstrated both content and construct validity: Most patients' responses to an open-ended question about their skin disease was addressed by the items; patients with inflammatory dermatoses had higher scores than those with isolated lesions; and in an exploratory principal axes factor analysis with an oblique rotation, 74% of the common variance was explained by three factors that correlated with the a priori scales. Mean scale scores stayed the same or changed in the expected direction in patients who reported that their skin was the same or had improved. Conclusion: This brief single-page version of Skindex accurately and sensitively measures how much patients are bothered by their skin conditions.

Abstract:

AbstractObjective:To investigate a cluster of mupirocin-resistantStaphylococcus aureuson a dermatology ward.Design:An outbreak of mupirocin-resistantSaureus was noted on the dermatology ward during a prospective epidemiologic study of methicillin-resistantS aureus(MRSA) and borderline methicillin-susceptibleS aureus(BMSSA). Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) of whole-cell DNA digested with Sma I was used as a marker of strain identity.Setting and Patients:An 850-bed university hospital with a 12-bed inpatient dermatology ward. Most patients have severe, exfoliating dermatologic disorders.Results:MRSA or BMSSA were isolated from 13 patients on the dermatology ward over a 14-month period. Eleven of these isolates (84.6%) were mupirocin-resistant. Nine isolates were present on admission (81.8%); 8 of these patients had been hospitalized on the same ward within the last two months. Nasal and hand cultures from 36 personnel were negative for mupirocin-resistant MRSA or BMSSA. Extensive environmental culturing revealed that a blood pressure cuff and the patients' communal shower were positive for mupirocin-resistant BMSSA. PFGE of all mupirocin-resistant isolates demonstrated that the nine patients and both environmental sources had identical DNA typing patterns.Interventions:Changing of blood pressure cuffs between patients and more stringent cleaning of communal areas was initiated. Repeat environmental cultures were negative.Conclusions:S aureusis not usually associated with an environmental reservoir; however, these patients all had severe desquamation, which may have prolonged environmental contamination.

Abstract:

Background and Objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic has a considerable influence on public health, either directly or indirectly. We investigated outpatient skin disease diagnoses at the dermatology clinic to determine the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on these patients. Materials and Methods: We conducted a retrospective study using the International Codes of Diseases data from the outpatient department of Dermatology clinic, Vajira hospital, Navamindradhiraj University, Bangkok, Thailand from January 2019 to June 2021. Results: A total of 20,915 patients with 34,116 skin diagnoses were included in the study. The average weekly dermatologic clinic visits remained unchanged between the years with and without COVID-19 pandemic. While the percentage of xerosis cutis, other skin infections (syphilis and parasitic infections), hair and nail disorders, pigmentary disorders, benign skin tumors and drug eruptions were significantly decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic years, the percentage of other dermatitis, fungal and viral skin infections, acne, psoriasis, urticaria, vesiculobullous and autoimmune diseases were increased. Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic had a minimal effect on the average weekly skin clinic visits, but the diagnosed skin diseases pattern was affected. Knowing the pattern of skin diseases may help aid hospitals to better prepare for future pandemics in securing appropriate medications and supplies and training the medical teams.

Abstract:

Skin diseases are common all over the world with high prevalence in developing countries with significant socioeconomic and behavioral impact. In Nepal, it is the fourth leading cause of nonfatal diseases. A community clinic is a term used for a specialist clinic provided in a Primary Care setting. The aim of these clinics in Nepal is to improve access to basic health services including family planning, child health, and safe motherhood. But there are no policies for dermatological diseases in rural communities. As skin diseases do not usually cause mortality, it is often ignored. But the morbidity is often high and the impact on the quality of life is also high. Conducting regular skin camps at inaccessible parts of the country is a good way to provide service to the people of the community. Keywords: Community Dermatology, Skin Diseases

Abstract:

Background Over half of dermatologic conditions are seen by nondermatologists, yet medical students receive little dermatology education. Medical students in the clinical years of training at our institution felt insecure in their physical diagnosis skills for dermatologic conditions. Objective The objective of this study was to implement dermatology-focused curricula within the Internal Medicine (IM) Core Clerkship to increase student confidence in diagnosing skin diseases. Methods Two dermatology-focused sessions were integrated into the IM Clerkship. A faculty dermatologist leads students on a dermatology-focused physical diagnosis “Skin Rounds”, where patients are seen at the bedside and students practice describing skin lesions and forming a differential diagnosis. Students also participate in a case-based active learning session. A dermatologist selects images of common skin conditions that students describe utilizing appropriate terminology and offer a differential diagnosis. The impact of these sessions was assessed through survey-based student feedback and by comparing the results from the IM Shelf Exam before and after intervention. Results A total of 74 students completed the skin rounds survey (32% response rate). About 99% ( n = 73) of students felt that skin rounds were effective and useful, and 92% ( n = 68) of students reported that they felt more confident in describing skin lesions afterward. A total of 43 students completed the case-based learning session survey (37% response rate), and 98% ( n = 42) of students strongly agreed or agreed that the session was effective and useful. Performance on the dermatologic questions of the IM Shelf Exam was analyzed. While not statistically significant at P < 0.05, students improved from an average of 77% correct responses before intervention to 79% afterward ( P = 0.60). Conclusions Our case-based and bedside teaching interventions were met with high satisfaction from medical students and increased their confidence in describing skin lesions. This intervention can serve as a model to improve dermatology education and can be adapted to utilize the IM clerkship to address curriculum inadequacies at other institutions.
