The authors performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of published literature from 2000-2022 to assess the prevalence and incidence of hand eczema (HE) in health care workers (HCW). Sixteen studies were included, providing a population of 24,438 HCWs, with the majority being women (85%, n = 19,331/22,648) and the mean age range being 29.6 to 46.2 years. Nurses and auxiliary nurses constituted the largest group (84%, n = 14,553/17,293), followed by physicians (13%, n = 2248/17,293). Pooled lifetime self-reported HE in HCWs was 33.4% with a 1-year prevalence of 27.4%. (Source: Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology)

Geriatric Dermatologic Surgery Part I: Frailty assessment and palliative treatments in the geriatric dermatology population
Longer life expectancy and increasing keratinocyte carcinoma incidence contribute to an increase in geriatric patients presenting for dermatologic surgery. Unique considerations accompany geriatric patients including goals of care, physiologic changes in medication metabolism, cognitive decline, and frailty. Limited geriatric training in dermatology residency has created a knowledge gap and dermatologic surgeons should be familiar with challenges facing older patients to provide interventions more congruent with goals and avoid overtreatment.

Geriatric Dermatologic Surgery Part II: Peri and intraoperative considerations in the geriatric dermatologic surgery patient
Geriatric patients compose a growing proportion of the dermatologic surgical population. Dermatologists and dermatologic surgeons should be cognizant of the unique physiologic considerations that accompany this group to deliver highly effective care. The purpose of this article is to discuss the unique preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative considerations geriatric patients present with to provide goal-concordant care. Preoperative considerations include medication optimization and anxiolysis. (Source: Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology)

Quality measures of virtual care in ambulatory healthcare environments: a scoping review
Conclusions
The connections between virtual care modalities and quality domains identified here can inform clinicians, administrators and other decision-makers how to monitor the quality of virtual care and provide insights into gaps in current quality measures. The next steps include the development of a balanced scorecard of virtual care quality indicators for ambulatory settings to inform quality improvement. (Source: BMJ Open)

Clinico-mycological and therapeutic updates on tinea corporis/cruris in the era of Trichophyton indotineae
Trichophyton indotineae (TI) has emerged as a novel dermatophyte species causing treatment recalcitrant skin infections. While the earliest reports came from India, TI has now spread to many parts of the world and is rapidly becoming a global health concern. Accurate identification of TI requires elaborate mycological investigations not in the domain of routine microbiology laboratories. Extensive, non-inflammatory and atypical presentations are commonly seen with this novel species. TI shows an alarmingly high rate of mutations in the squalene epoxidase gene leading to lowered invitro susceptibility to terbinafine. (Sourc...
