Abstract:

Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly investigated for use in dermatologic conditions. We review recent literature on AI, its potential application for pediatric dermatology, and its impact on the underserved community. Objective: To evaluate the current state of AI in dermatology and its application to pediatric patients. Methods: Literature search was performed in PubMed and Google Scholar using the following key terms in combination with "pediatric", and "dermatology": "artificial intelligence," "AI," "machine learning," "augmented intelligence," "neural network," and "deep learning". Results: Current research is based on images from adult databases, with minimal delineation of patient age. Most literature on AI and dermatologic conditions pertains to melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers, reporting accuracy from 67-99%. Other commonly studied diseases include psoriasis, acne vulgaris, onychomycosis, and atopic dermatitis, having varying accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. A recently developed AI algorithm for diagnosis of infantile hemangioma found 91.7% accuracy. AI may be a means to increase access to pediatric dermatologic care, yet challenges remain for its use in underserved communities. Conclusion: Literature on AI systems for dermatologic diseases continues to grow. Further research may tailor AI algorithms for pediatric patients and those of diverse skin color to decrease algorithm bias and increase diagnostic accuracy.

Abstract:

Skin disorders are among the most common complaints in primary care settings, yet dermatology is often underrepresented in medical school curricula. Lecture time during the preclinical years is limited, and clinical dermatology rotations are rarely mandatory. Therefore, dermatology learning during medical school must be efficient and effective. The American Academy of Dermatology’s Basic Dermatology Curriculum is a set of peer-reviewed, online learning modules that serve as an introductory educational resource for medical students to learn about skin disease. Several studies have demonstrated positive effects of the modules in dermatology instruction, and the use of the modules in medical school curricula has been strongly supported by students. Dermatology educators should consider incorporating the Basic Dermatology Curriculum modules into preclinical and clinical medical student dermatology education.

Abstract:

Background: The public and other physicians expect dermatologists to be experts on aesthetic dermatology services. In Canada, current challenges may limit residents from achieving competency in aesthetic dermatology during their training. This may adversely affect patient safety, create medicolegal risks, and deter graduates from offering aesthetic procedures. Objectives: The objective of this article is to characterize the curriculum, hands-on learning opportunities, and perceptions of aesthetic dermatologic training in Canadian dermatology residency training programs. Methods: An online survey of faculty and residents within Canadian dermatology residency programs was performed. The main outcome measures were the hours of formal aesthetic dermatology teaching, the frequency of hands-on dermatology resident training with injectables and devices, and comparing faculty and resident perspectives regarding resident aesthetic dermatology training. Results: Thirty-six faculty members (40%) and 47 residents (34%) responded to the survey. Lasers, fillers, neuromodulators, and mole removal were most commonly taught in the 10 hours or fewer of formal instruction. Residents commonly observed rather than performed procedures. High dissatisfaction among residents was reported with the quality and quantity of aesthetic dermatology training. Faculty and resident respondents supported increasing aesthetic dermatology education, and approximately 70% of residents plan to offer aesthetic services. Discounted pricing or resident-led clinics were felt to be ways to increase resident hands-on experience. Conclusions: The standardization of core competencies in aesthetic dermatologic procedures is essential to ensure patient safety and practitioner competence. At present, formal aesthetic dermatology training in residency may be insufficient for hands-on training. The majority of dermatology faculty and resident respondents support increasing aesthetic dermatology training.

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:

Background: Internal medicine trainees receive limited teaching and training in dermatology and may feel inadequately prepared to assess and manage patients with dermatologic complaints. No study to date has assessed the needs of internal medicine trainees in Canada with regard to dermatology teaching. Objective: To determine internal medicine residents' comfort in assessing and managing dermatologic issues and their educational needs in dermatology. Methods: An electronic survey was conducted of first-, second-, and third-year internal medicine residents at the University of Toronto. Results: Fifty-four of 186 internal medicine trainees responded to our survey (response rate = 29%). Each respondent did not answer every question. Residents were generally uncomfortable or very uncomfortable assessing and managing dermatologic issues in the emergency department (40 of 47, 85%), ward or intensive care unit (39 of 47, 83%), and ambulatory clinic (40 of 47, 85%). Residents thought that various clinical and didactic dermatology exposures would be useful to their training as internists. Case-based teaching and ambulatory clinical rotations were felt to be particularly valuable. Additionally, 38 of 46 (83%) respondents wanted to learn how to perform punch biopsies. Conclusions: An effort should be made to increase the availability of relevant dermatology teaching and clinical exposures for internal medicine residents.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The World Health Academy of Dermatology, the Vitiligo Research Foundation, the University of Parma-Italy and the University of Rome Guglielmo Marconi, Rome-Italy have successfully joined Vietnamese Dermatology Community in the ambitious project of positionìng Vietnam in the Dermatologic Olympus. AIM: The aim of our special issue is to present some pearls of the Vietnamese Dermatology devoted to the description of the national and hopefully international declining of traditional therapies. METHODS: We present 36 contributions from all academic hospitals of Vietnam reflecting the therapeutic strategies and every day's dermato-venereology practice in Vietnam. RESULTS: This special issue show the efficacy and safety of our Vietnamese approach continuously embracing the concept that "old and traditional is beautiful when safe, effective and cheap". CONCLUSION: Vietnamese Dermatology is deeply concerned with any possible marketing orientated lucrative therapies, thus emphasising the risk/benefits ratio of "old-traditional" versus "new" therapeutic strategies.

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: Many dermatologists know the name Jean Darier. Few are familiar with his accomplishments. The contemporary dermatology scene, with its emphasis on surgery and laser, is in danger of forgetting its roots in living gross pathology. Objective: To describe in summary form Darier's excellent dermatology text, Precis de Dermatologie, with particular emphasis on its organization and morphologic approach to skin disease. Conclusion: Knowledge in some areas of dermatology has increased manyfold since Darier's Précis was first published. This does not apply to current clinical descriptions of disease found in many current texts and journal articles. A study of Darier's Précis would be an excellent start to reinvigorate morphologic knowledge in dermatology.

Abstract:

Background: The Canadian dermatology undergraduate curriculum was reviewed in 1983, 1987, and 1996. All surveys revealed the limited amount of time dedicated to dermatology in the undergraduate curriculum. Objective: This survey was designed to obtain current information regarding undergraduate dermatology teaching in Canadian medical schools. Methods: A survey was sent electronically to all undergraduate dermatology curriculum coordinators at each of the 17 Canadian medical schools. Results: Between 1996 and 2008, the average number of hours of dermatology teaching has increased by 7 hours to 20.5 ± 17.2 hours. Again, most of the teaching is performed in the preclinical years. The majority of schools would like to have more time dedicated to dermatology teaching; however, many schools cited a restriction in the number of dermatology faculty members, with an average of 7.8 ± 7 dermatologists, as a barrier to education delivery. Conclusion: It is important to have dermatology included throughout the undergraduate medical curriculum because most dermatologic problems are seen by nondermatologists. Respondents at each school believed that there may be value in moving toward a national strategy for dermatology curriculum changes, and this can ensure both uniformity and consistency within Canada.

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:

Objective: This study assessed the prevalence and clinical characteristics of inpatient dermatologic diseases, examined trends over 3 academic years in a tertiary care hospital in Thailand, and evaluated their relevance to the current dermatology residency curriculum. Materials and Methods: A retrospective review was performed at the Department of Dermatology, Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand. Consultation records from July 2018 to June 2021 were assessed. Data extracted included patient age, sex, referring departments, and diagnoses. Results: Of the 1964 consultations, 2002 diagnoses were identified. Consistent with previous findings, the predominant diagnostic categories were drug eruptions (28.02%; 561), eczema (16.18%; 324), and viral infections (9.29%; 186). Internal medicine made the most requests, followed by surgery and orthopedics. While the prevalence of consulted diseases remained constant over the 3 academic years, the total number of consultations increased. Most of the consulted conditions were already covered in the “must-know” section of the dermatology residency curriculum, with a few exceptions. The consultation cases satisfied the inpatient evaluation requirements of EntrustableProfessional Activity. Conclusion: The prevalence of inpatient dermatologic diseases was highest for drug eruptions, followed by eczema and viral infections. The consistent trend in the prevalence of these consulted diseases underscores the significance of inpatient dermatology. Incorporating these insights into revisions of the dermatology residency curriculum may enhance the training of dermatologists.

Abstract:

Background: Till recently, dermatology was primarily being considered to be an outpatient focused discipline. However, several inpatient admissions to other specialties require dermatologic consultation for optimum management. This study was conducted to analyse the incidence and indications for inpatient dermatology referrals and the impact of dermatology consultation on patient management.Methods: A cross-sectional study was undertaken by analyzing the records of 243 patients referred to dermatology department over a 2-year period. Descriptive analysis was conducted in the form of study of presumptive diagnoses by the referring clinicians, causes of referral, distribution of referrals across specialties and the dermatological opinions with respect to diagnosis and management etc.Results: Clinically significant change was documented in the course of skin lesions management of almost two-thirds of referred patients. Maximum referrals were from the department of general medicine with “skin rash” being the most common cause for seeking 2nd opinion. Concordance for diagnosis between the referring clinician and the dermatologist was observed in only 30.2% of the cases.Conclusions: Dermatologic referral does lead to improved patient care. But there is need for better training of non-dermatologists enabling them to recognize and treat common skin lesions.

Abstract:

As the skin is an accessible organ and many dermatological diagnostics still rely on the visual examination and palpation of the lesions, dermatology could be dramatically impacted by augmented and virtual reality technologies. If the emergence of such tools raised enormous interest in the dermatological community, we must admit that augmented and virtual reality have not experienced the same breakthrough in dermatology as they have in surgery. In this article, we investigate the status of such technologies in dermatology and review their current use in education, diagnostics, and dermatologic surgery; additionally, we try to predict how it might evolve in the near future.

Abstract:

Background and Objectives: Dermatology is often an overlooked and underemphasized area of training in postgraduate primary care medical education, with an abundance of dermatological educational resources available, but no clear guidelines on how to best take advantage of them. The objective of this study was to develop a dermatology digital tool kit designed to describe, evaluate, recognize, and manage (DERM) common dermatological conditions in primary care residency education and to evaluate potential improvement in clinical confidence. Methods: A total of 14 family medicine (FM) and 33 internal medicine (IM) residents were given the DERM tool kit to complete over 7 weeks. Effects on residents’ self-reported comfort with dermatology and resources used were measured by voluntary anonymous surveys distributed before and after DERM completion. Results: A response rate of 100% (14/14) for FM residents and 52% (17/33) for IM residents was achieved. The majority of residents (61%) recalled minimal dermatology education—less than 2 weeks—in medical school and 71% agreed that there is not enough dermatology in their residency curriculum. A statistically significant increase in resident comfort with describing (P=0.002), recognizing and diagnosing (P<0.001), and managing (P=0.001) dermatologic conditions was observed postcompletion. Residents reported they would recommend this tool to other primary care residents. Conclusions: Implementing the DERM digital tool kit is feasible with primary care residents and appears to improve comfort with describing, recognizing and diagnosing, and managing dermatologic conditions.

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.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Access to timely, satisfactory dermatology care is an ongoing challenge that specifically impacts aging adults. Among the numerous barriers that older generations face, transportation emerges as a central obstacle that affects their ability to receive proper treatment and follow-up care. Overcoming this potential hurdle requires innovation in healthcare delivery from the current traditional brick-and-mortar option. One solution to closing this gap and improving treatment opportunities includes the collaboration with senior living facilities to provide on-site dermatologic care to this vulnerable population. This forward-thinking healthcare delivery model not only addresses access and transportation barrier issues but also offers additional advantages including personalized timely care, flexible patient scheduling, a culture of safety, space for patient dignity, and privacy as well as strengthens partnerships with ecosystem stakeholders. Dermatology nurses are uniquely positioned to advocate for older adults in need of appropriate dermatology services. It is our hope that the information in this article will support the successful delivery of on-site dermatology care for older adults.

Abstract:

This article aims to provide a comprehensive assessment of the current status and future potential of augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) technologies in the field of dermatology. We conducted an extensive review of the existing literature, encompassing studies and case reports related to the utilization of AR/VR in dermatology. This analysis encompassed diverse applications, including medical education, diagnostics, and dermatologic surgery, to offer a holistic view of their current implementations. Despite the significant interest generated within the dermatological community, the integration of AR/VR technologies in dermatology has not advanced at the same pace as in surgery. Our review underscores the current applications of AR/VR, which encompass improving medical education through interactive simulations, enhancing diagnostic precision, and facilitating complex dermatologic surgical procedures. Additionally, we address the challenges and constraints associated with their practical implementation in clinical settings. Augmented and virtual reality technologies possess immense potential to transform the landscape of dermatology. While their adoption has been gradual, these technologies have showcased their ability to enhance medical education, diagnostics, and surgical interventions. The future holds promising prospects for further developments in AR/VR applications, positioning them as valuable assets for dermatologists and aspiring dermatologists alike. However, it is imperative to address issues related to accessibility, cost-effectiveness, and patient acceptance to foster their widespread integration into clinical practice.

Abstract:

Background Surgical technique is an important part of resident training, which is the reason why various models have been implemented to acquire this skill. Animal models have been useful in teaching dermatologic suturing techniques. With the advancements in technology, simulators have been developed for these exercises, but at a very high cost. The use of pig heads and freshly killed animals have proven to be effective and low-cost. However, they do not reproduce skin pathologies with accuracy. Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of a live anesthetized rat model to simulate skin pathologies requiring surgical excision in a dermatologic suture workshop for residents. Methods We analyze the outcome of a theoretical and practical suturing workshop using live Wistar rats with 13 dermatology residents. Results The residents showed an improvement in surgical maneuvers, suturing techniques, and in the use of surgical instruments (p < 0.01). Conclusion The model proposed in the present study was economic, easy to obtain and to manage, and it portrays live and accurate skin response to manipulation. Therefore, it is effective for conducting surgical training sessions in dermatology.

Abstract:

Over the last three and half-decade of my life, I have seen the changes in dermatology and marked paradigm shift towards procedural dermatology and cosmetic dermatology. Dermatosurgery clinics started in 1996, and lasers were procured in 2009, setting the tone for laser and cosmetic dermatology at Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (JIPMER), Puducherry. Cosmetic dermatology (aesthetic medicine/medical aesthetics) has now been recognized as a sub-specialty of dermatology. Dermatologists have supremacy over other aesthetic practitioners as they also treat visible as well as stigmatizing skin disorders. In the last two decades in India, more and more women are taking up dermatology to pursue aesthetic practice. Women in dermatology have started their association, the Women’s Dermatologic Society, and their journal, International Journal of Women’s Dermatology (IJWD). Skin lightening products are overwhelmingly used by women and are one of the world’s largest markets. Nowadays, aesthetic surgical procedures are done with a motive to earn profits. Cosmetology has gained tremendous interest in the world, especially in the United States of America. Much of its recognition is due to scientific research in the development of imaging techniques, drug therapy, and other nonsurgical methods lessening downtime for the patients. The focus in dermatology is shifting gradually from diseased skin to desired skin which people prefer. Hence, the journal CosmoDerma, gives cosmetology its due place. Moreover, there is an increase in the anti-ageing population in this world who don’t want their face wrinkles and aging skin changes. In the absence of world wars in recent times and the increasing longevity of man, the cosmetic industry/aesthetic industry is surging ahead despite the COVID 19 pandemic. Accreditation system to regulate the practice of cosmetology practice needed to be put in place in all countries. Many of these cosmetology practitioners are inadequately equipped to perform cosmetology procedures. There is a need for structured training and accreditation for cosmetic dermatology, aesthetic surgery, dermatosurgery, use of lasers, and hair transplantation.

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:

Introduction: High-frequency ultrasonography (HF-USG) uses frequency above 20 MHz, which allows to visualize skin layers and measure their thickness. As it is simple, non-invasive and reliable technique, it has become a relevant tool in the field of dermatology along with other methods like for example dermoscopy. It can be used not only for the evaluation, diagnosis and management of various skin diseases, but also for analysis of the healthy skin structure Aim of the study: The aim of this review is to present information on the use of high-efficiency USG and its application in dermatology. Materials and methods: The literature available in the PubMed and Google Scholar data bases was reviewed, using the following keywords: "dermatologic ultrasound", "skin ultrasound, "HFUS dermatology". Conclusions: HFUS has given many opportunities in dermatology. Although ultrasound is not a new thing and it has been used in the field of dermatology for more than four decades, its significance has evolved with improvements in technology. We already have some pathognomonic sonographic features for skin lesions, but this amount will definitely increase due to the growing popularity of HFUS devices in clinical practice.

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:

Patients whose psychopathology is expressed in cutaneous lesions often consult a dermatologist rather than a psychiatrist. Dermatologists may not be interested in working with these difficult patients. The need for liaison dermatology is becoming more widely recognized. This article discusses the place of psychiatric consultation in the dermatology setting, and describes the common dermatologic presentations of psychopathology: cutaneous delusions, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, expressions of depression, and dermatitis-artefacta. Diagnostic criteria for these conditions are outlined and a treatment approach, within the competence of the interested dermatologist, is offered.

Abstract:

Background: Skin disease is a significant contributor to the global disease burden, with dermatologic health disparities adding to this burden. Internists, general practitioners, and other medical professionals often manage skin disease with limited exposure to dermatologic education in medical school. Objective: This study evaluated a brief educational intervention for medical students to improve dermatologic knowledge, diagnostic and communication skills, and comfort in performing dermatology-focused physical exams. A secondary focus of the intervention was to promote awareness of skin disease, detection, and prevention for patients with a variety of skin tones. Methods: Sixty-five first through fourth-year students at Rutgers RWJMS participated in a pre-test–post-test within-subject study. Students described images using open-ended responses followed by multiple-choice identification questions. Students watched a one-hour self-paced module created by a licensed dermatologist and completed a follow-up assessment. Results: At pre-test, descriptions were brief and often inaccurate but significantly improved post-intervention to include descriptors such as primary morphology and demarcation. Accuracy on diagnostic and management questions significantly improved and comfort in advising patients and performing dermatologic exams significantly increased. Conclusions: A low-cost, brief, self-paced module can augment dermatologic education for medical students while increasing exposure to multiple skin tone presentations of lesions.

Abstract:

Background: Delivering quality dermatologic instruction to medical students can be difficult; time constraints, limited clinical teachers, and a lack of standardization pose challenges. The literature suggests that many trainees and primary care physicians could benefit from increased clinical dermatology teaching. Objective: We sought to deliver and analyze the results of a large-scale patient-viewing undergraduate dermatology education program. Methods: A total of 250 third-year medical students participated in a 32-station patient-viewing program. Voluntary pre- and posttest surveys were administered to evaluate knowledge and self-perceived abilities in dermatology. The identical tests were composed of 20 multiple-choice and 5 self-perception questions. Results: The response rate for completion of pre- and posttests was 24% (N = 59). Pre- and postknowledge test score means were 69.0% and 93.20%, respectively. Pre- and post–self-perception test score means were 3.95/10 and 7.25/10, respectively. Positive student feedback was received on the patient-viewing educational experience. Conclusion: Improvements in knowledge scores and self-assessment scores support the potential integration of structured patient-viewing teaching into undergraduate dermatology medical education curricula.

Abstract:

Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is a common dermatologic disorder that is estimated to affect 15–20% of the general population. Because of its prevalence, it may be expected that ACD should be easily recognized. However, it can present with many clinical variations that may complicate diagnosis. Although ACD is a treatable condition, patients from rural and underserved areas suffer if timely access to specialty care is limited. Dermatology Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (Dermatology ECHO) telemedicine sessions were created to mentor rural primary care providers (PCPs). To illustrate their benefit, we present the case of a 19-year-old female patient who suffered from worsening undiagnosed ACD for over nine months following a laparoscopic appendectomy. During that time, the surgeon and multiple PCPs treated her with antibiotics, antivirals, and Scabicide without improvement in her condition. The de-identified patient case was presented by her PCP during the Dermatology ECHO session. The Dermatology ECHO specialty team mentored and educated the PCP in the diagnosis and treatment of ACD. After making the diagnosis, the patient received new treatment and her condition improved significantly. Dermatology ECHO provides a knowledge-sharing network for participating PCPs that may improve patient outcomes and reduce patient suffering.

Abstract:

Background A lack of representation of skin of color (SoC) in dermatology curricula is well-documented across North American medical schools and may present a barrier to equitable and comprehensive undergraduate medical education. Objectives This study aims to examine representation in dermatologic educational materials and appreciate a link between bias in dermatologic education and student diagnostic ability and self-rated confidence. Design The University of Toronto Dermatology Undergraduate Medical Education curriculum was examined for the percentage photographic representation of SoC. A survey of 10 multiple-choice questions was administered to first- and third-year medical students at the University of Toronto to assess diagnostic accuracy and self-rated confidence in diagnosis of 5 common skin lesions in Fitzpatrick skin phototypes (SPT) I-III (white skin) and VI-VI (SoC). Results The curriculum audit showed that <7% of all images of skin disease were in SoC. Diagnostic accuracy was fair for both first- (77.8% and 85.9%) and third-year (71.3% and 72.4%) cohorts in white skin and SoC, respectively. Students’ overall self-rated confidence was significantly greater in white skin when compared to SoC, in both first- (18.75/25 and 17.78/25, respectively) and third-year students (17.75/25 and 15.79/25, respectively) ( P = .0002). Conclusions This preliminary assessment identified a lack of confidence in diagnosing dermatologic conditions in SoC, a finding which may impact health outcomes of patients with SoC. This project is an important first step in diversifying curricular materials to provide comprehensive medical education.

Abstract:

e15170 Background: Skin toxicity can be a limiting factor for the use of anti-EGFR therapies, such as panitumumab, and there are currently no standard practice guidelines for rash management in the United States (U.S.). This study aimed to evaluate if there were regional or practice setting differences in strategies used among oncologists to manage EGFR rash, including utilization of dermatologic and nursing support. Methods: 250 practicing oncologists who had treated at least three mCRC patients with panitumumab in the last year completed an online survey to report their opinions and perceptions regarding skin toxicity management strategies. Participants reported if they were affiliated with an academic/university or a community-based practice. Participants were stratified into years of practice post-fellowship ( < 10 and > 10 years) and geographic region of primary practice (West, Midwest, Northeast, Southern U.S.). Results: Oncologists surveyed did not consistently utilize dermatology support. 40% (n = 99) of practicing oncologists surveyed reported consulting a dermatologist “occasionally.” Less than 5% reported “always” consulting dermatology and 6% reported “never” utilizing dermatology support. Utilization of dermatology support varied significantly by region. In the Southern US more oncologists reported “never” consulting dermatology while in the Midwest more oncologists reported “always” utilizing dermatology support (p = 0.05). While dermatology was inconsistently utilized, oncologists frequently utilized nursing support to minimize and manage anti-EGFR skin toxicity. 73% (n = 182) of oncologists engaged nursing support to “monitor skin toxicity during treatment” and 70% (n = 175) of oncologists had nursing support to “educate on skin toxicity prior to starting treatment.” Conclusions: While nursing support is consistently utilized by oncologists in the management of EGFR rash in mCRC patients treated with panitumumab, use of dermatology support was inconsistent and varied significantly by region. This lack of consistency in toxicity management strategies highlights the need for increased physician education.

Abstract:

ZusammenfassungDas Fachgebiet der Dermatologie umfasst die Vorbeugung, Erkennung, konservative und operative Behandlung, die Nachsorge und Rehabilitation von Krankheiten der Haut sowie von Geschlechtskrankheiten. Historisch war die Dermatologie stark durch infektiöse Hautkrankheiten und sexuell übertragbare Infektionen geprägt wie Tuberkulose und Lepra, Syphilis und Gonorrhoe, aber auch virale Hautkrankheiten wie Pocken-, Herpesvirus- und HPV-Infektionen. Nicht nur die Diagnostik und Therapie von Infektionskrankheiten der Haut gehören zum Fachgebiet der Dermatologie, sondern auch deren spezifische Prävention, für die sich in den vergangenen Jahren neue Möglichkeiten durch die Verfügbarkeit von Impfstoffen ergeben haben.Die Deutsche Dermatologische Akademie (DDA) hat daher mit dem Zertifikat „Impfen für Dermatologen (DDA)“ ein wichtiges Fortbildungsangebot auf diesem zunehmend wichtigen Teilgebiet der Dermatologie geschaffen.Die Fortbildungsinhalte für die Zertifizierung „Impfen für Dermatologen (DDA)“ werden in einem ganztägigen Modul (8 Stunden) vermittelt; auch eine Aufteilung in Halbtage im Rahmen größerer Fortbildungsveranstaltungen ist möglich.Die Seminare sind interaktiv; bestimmend ist die praxisorientierte Präsentation des Wissens und die kollegiale Diskussion mit ausgewiesenen Experten. Zum Erhalt des Zertifikats ist einmal alle 5 Jahre die Teilnahme an einem Qualitätszirkel (2 Stunden) vorgesehen, in dem aktuelle Entwicklungen komprimiert dargestellt und anhand von Falldiskussionen thematisiert werden.

Abstract:

Background: The Dermatology and Rheumatology Treatment Clinic is a novel multidisciplinary clinic where patients are concomitantly assessed by a rheumatologist and dermatologist. Objectives: To determine the number of patients seen in clinic, patient demographics, and most common diagnoses. Method: A retrospective review was performed over a 2-year period. Data collected included patient age, sex, dermatologic diagnosis, rheumatologic diagnosis, biopsies performed, and number of follow-up visits. Results: A total of 320 patients were seen (78% female, 22% male). The most common rheumatologic diagnoses were systemic lupus erythematosus (18%), rheumatoid arthritis (15%), psoriatic arthritis (13%), and undifferentiated connective tissue disease (8%). The most common dermatologic diagnoses were dermatitis (17%), psoriasis (11%), cutaneous lupus (7%), various types of alopecia (6%), and infections (5%). Conclusions: Skin diagnoses were often unrelated to the underlying rheumatologic diagnosis. Rheumatologists and dermatologists can both benefit from being aware of the dermatologic conditions that rheumatologic patients are experiencing.
