Mycobacterial tissue culture positivity in the work-up of suspected cutaneous infection in a rural dermatology patient population
The objective of this study was to determine mycobacterial tissue culture positivity in the work-up of suspected skin infection. This was a retrospective cohort study including patients biopsied for mycobacterial tissue cultures performed by dermatology providers from 2006 to 2020 in a large Midwestern US rural healthcare system. Main outcomes and measures were mycobacterial tissue culture positivity rates by body location, immunocompromised status, clinical setting, and exposure history. There were 552 mycobacterial tissue culture results from 515 patients, resulting in mycobacterial culture positivity in 13 cases (2.4%)....

High-volume facilities are significantly more likely to use guideline-adherent systemic immunotherapy for metastatic Merkel cell carcinoma: implications for cancer care regionalization
AbstractMerkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a neuroendocrine skin cancer with a high rate of mortality. While still relatively rare, the incidence of MCC has been rapidly rising in the US and around the world. Since 2017, two immunotherapeutic drugs, avelumab and pembrolizumab, have been FDA-approved for the treatment of metastatic MCC and have revolutionized outcomes for MCC. However, real-world outcomes can differ from clinical trial data, and the adoption of novel therapeutics can be gradual. We aimed to characterize the treatment practices and outcomes of patients with metastatic MCC across the US. A retrospective cohort st...

Why different types of patients seek cosmetic treatments
AbstractThe extent to which demographics drive patients to pursue minimally invasive cosmetic procedures is not well-understood. The aim of this project was to better understand how patient demographics impact motivations for cosmetic procedures, irrespective of the procedure desired. Patient-level information from the Cosmetic Motivation Database was evaluated using linear regression analyses to determine whether geographic region, age, gender, race, and education independently influence patients to pursue any cosmetic treatment or consultation. Patients in the Midwest reported fewer motivations related to cosmetic appear...
