The burning truth about light therapy: a retrospective analysis of the MAUDE database on UV phototherapy and photodynamic therapy complications 2013 –2023
DiscussionThe COVID-19 pandemic prohibited in-person light treatments, and social distancing requirements may have resulted in increased frequency of home-based light treatments. Hence, while at home treatment may be easier and more accessible, in-office physician supervised UV treatments are associated with less frequent AEs. Moreover, some phototherapy MDRs reported poorly written instructions accompanying the home light box, and some PDT MDRs documented patients receiving inadequate education regarding the procedure.

Pediatric primary cutaneous anaplastic large-cell lymphoma with associated hypovitaminosis D
AbstractCD30+ lymphoproliferative diseases (LPDs) are relatively uncommon in the general population, especially in children. Distinguishing between the two main CD30+ LPDs, lymphomatoid papulosis and cutaneous anaplastic large-cell lymphoma is crucial, as the latter requires different treatment and systemic malignancy workup. We outline an uncommon presentation of a primary cutaneous anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (PC-ALCL) accompanied by hypovitaminosis D in a young Hispanic child and a holistic approach to treatment. While baseline testing of vitamin D levels in patients with cutaneous lymphoma and LPDs is not yet the st...

The impact on quality-of-life following treatment of surgical facial scars with laser-based therapy: a scoping review
AbstractPost-surgical scarring impacts quality of life (QOL) and is a significant source of morbidity. Existing treatments targeted at improving the appearance and morbidity of scarring include laser-based therapies. Although lasers are frequently used to improve scar appearance, the effects on QOL are unclear. A scoping review was conducted to assess the impact of laser-based therapy for patients with surgical facial scarring on QOL. Throughout literature review was conducted with the guidance of a medical librarian. Relevant articles underwent two rounds of screening by two, independent reviewers. Data were extracted fro...

Trends in Mohs surgery fellowship directors
AbstractThe purpose of this study is to illustrate demographic trends among Mohs Micrographic Surgery (MMS) Fellowship Directors. Our search was constructed from the 2022 to 2023 Mohs Micrographic Surgery Fellowship Directory on the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) website. Datapoints gathered included: age, sex, residency/fellowship training location, time since training completion until FD appointment, length in FD role, and personal research H-index. We identified 77 FDs, of which all 77 were included in this study. The mean age was 55.5 years; 55 (71.4%) were men and 20 (26.0%) were women....

Risk factors for hospital-based surgical site infections
AbstractSurgical site infections (SSIs) contribute to morbidity and are costly to the healthcare system. To identify factors associated with SSIs. Case –control study analyzing the Nationwide Readmission Database (NRD). We identified 45,445 SSIs. Infection rates were higher in those who were obese (BMI ≥ 30) (OR: 1.39, 95% CI 1.28–1.51), tobacco users (OR: 1.08, 95% CI 1.02–1.15), diagnosed with diabetes (OR: 1.16, 95% CI 1.10–1.22), with Elixhauser Comorbidity Index ≥ 2 (OR: 1.14, 95% CI 1.09–1.20), admitted to hospital for 4–6 days (OR: 1.35, 95% CI 1.29–1.42), in medium-size hospital (OR: 1.15...
