Eponyms and Clinical Entities from the Land of Israel
Seven eponyms havd been pioneered by dermatologists in Israel: Brenner's sign, Chanarin-Dorfman syndrome, granulated sweetener packet sign, isopathic the phenomenon of Sagher, lanolin paradox, Nakar-Ingber disease, and Wolf's isotopic response. In addition, three id reactions described by Israeli dermatologists are listed: leishmanid, pediculid and scabid. There is also the acronym PEMPHIGUS, which stands for the causative reasons for pemphigus. We celebrate these eponyms and clinical entities, which reflect the impressive progress made by dermatologists in Israel during the past century, which has helped to build an acade...

Sexually Transmitted Infections from the Twentieth to the Twenty-first Century
At the start of the 20 th century, we had little understanding of the size of the problem presented by what was then termed Venereal Diseases. Only gonorrhea, syphilis, and chancroid were recognized as being venereal in origin . Population surveys were available, but their accuracy is open to interpretation. For example, a serologic survey carried out in 1914 suggested that up to 12% of the adult men and 7% of the adult women of London suffered from syphilis. The rate of gonorrhea was thought to be even greater. (Source: Clinics in Dermatology)

The Global Burden of STIs
Understanding the global burden of STIs is fundamental to being able to address and control these infections and the health harms they cause. The WHO has renewed its global health sector strategy for the prevention and control of sexually transmitted infections. Reducing STIs remains an integral part of HIV prevention and of sexual and reproductive health programs. Data to measure and describe the global burden continue to improve with systematic reviews and modelling providing global and regional data for the major STIs. (Source: Clinics in Dermatology)

Skin Cancer and Human Immunodeficiency Virus.
The risk of skin cancer in persons living with HIV (PLWH) is an evolving subject area shaped by the use of antiretroviral therapy. Keratinocyte carcinomas, including basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, have a high incidence in the general population as well as in PLWH. PLWH may have a higher risk of squamous cell carcinoma when compared to the general population. In addition, Merkel cell carcinoma and sebaceous carcinoma exhibit higher incidence rates in PLWH. Data on melanoma risk are varied. (Source: Clinics in Dermatology)

Syphilis for dermatologists – current concepts
Dermatologists are familiar with the classical aspects of syphilis. Our objective in this update is to display novel features of sexually acquired syphilis, its pathophysiology, natural history, atypical clinical variants, skin of color, clinical pearls, and prospects. Textbook knowledge, congenital syphilis, epidemiology, and historical data are excluded. (Source: Clinics in Dermatology)

Sexually transmitted diseases and HIV in transgender  patients
The word transgender is composed of trans, which means “across” in Latin, and gender, and it describes people whose gender identity does not correspond with their birth sex. It is the “T” in LGBTQ+, an abbreviation that encompasses the range of sexual orientations and gender identities. Our review describes the range of human gender identities, as well as variations in anatomy–particularly after gender-affirming treatment–as they pertain to sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

HIV - Inflammatory Dermatoses
HIV positive patients may experience a variety of inflammatory dermatoses, ranging from exacerbations of underlying conditions to those triggered by HIV infection itself. Some conditions may be the presenting sign of HIV infection (seborrheic dermatitis, new onset or worsening psoriasis, pruritus without other identifiable cause, eosinophilic folliculitis) and should prompt consideration of HIV testing. Other conditions may present later in the clinical course as CD4 counts decrease and immune dysregulation become more severe, while others may present after the onset of antiretroviral therapy as part of the immune reconsti...

Some lesser-known facts on the early history of syphilis in Europe.
At the end of the 15th century, an epidemic outbreak occurred in Europe for which the cause was previously unknown. Clinical findings included numerous ulcerations and condylomas as well as disorders of the cardiovascular and neurologic systems. The disease, which had many names at the time and killed about 5 million people on the European continent, is referred to as syphilis in today's medical terminology.The epidemiology of syphilis is complex and represents an important issue, not only historically but also scientifically, in the development of medicine.

Presenting features of indolent primary cutaneous B-cell lymphomas: Distinguishing clinical and histopathologic features
Primary cutaneous marginal zone lymphoma (PCMZL) and primary cutaneous follicle center lymphoma (PCFCL) are indolent B-cell lymphomas representing 20% of all cutaneous lymphomas.1 Because PCFCL and PCMZL can have overlapping clinical and histopathologic features, we investigated their clinical presentations, histopathologic features, and laboratory findings in our institution to determine whether distinguishing characteristics may exist for making a more accurate diagnosis.

Effectiveness of a leadership conference for chief residents in dermatology
The position of chief resident involves increased leadership, mentorship, and management responsibilities. There is no standardized procedure in which dermatology chief residents are trained and prepared for their final year of residency. In 2008, an annual dermatology chief academy conference was initiated in which incoming chief residents were given formal leadership training for their new role. At the 2020 conference, residents completed a survey regarding their expectations and experience with this conference. (Source: Clinics in Dermatology)
