    Abstract Cumulative childhood sun damage increases skin cancer risk. Considerable childhood time is spent at school, posing an ideal site for sun safety intervention. Currently, national prevalence estimates of school district-level sun safety policies are limited. We evaluated the prevalence of sun safety policies in the US school districts and correlated with district-level factors using cross-sectional data from the 2012 and 2016 School Health Policies and Practices Study. The prevalence of sun safety policies among the US school districts was infrequent. In 2016, policies to schedule outdoor activities avoiding peak sun, allowing and encouraging use of sunscreen, and encouraging the use of protective attire were required by less than 5% of districts and remained unaddressed in 50%-75% of districts. Sun safety policies remain inadequately addressed in many US school districts and may contribute to preventable childhood sun damage. Implementing sun safety interventions in schools through more robust district-level regulations may more effectively reach students, allocate resources, and monitor implementation.

    Abstract Seborrheic keratoses (SKs) are benign epidermal neoplasms presenting as waxy, brown to black papules and plaques. Patients often seek removal for cosmetic reasons or irritation. The objective of this systematic review is to assess the efficacy and safety of topical treatments for SKs. Studies involving any topical medication indicated for SK removal were retrieved from Embase, Scopus, PubMed, and Cochrane. The final search was conducted on November 9, 2021, and 26 reports met inclusion criteria. A quality rating scheme was utilized to assess evidence quality. Heterogeneity of treatments and outcome measures precluded meta-analysis. Topical treatments that yielded a good-to-excellent response include hydrogen peroxide, Maxacalcitol 25 µg/g, BID Tazarotene 0.1% cream, 5% potassium dobesilate cream, 1% diclofenac sodium solution, urea-based solution, and 65% and 80% trichloroacetic acid. Local skin reactions were often mild and transient. Topical hydrogen peroxide showed the greatest evidence for clinical clearance of SKs, although there are no studies to our knowledge that directly compared hydrogen peroxide to current first-line treatments (e.g. cryotherapy or shave excision). The results of this review suggest viable and safe treatment of SK with topical therapies; however, there remains demand for topical treatments that reliably equate or exceed the efficacy of current first-line therapies.Key Points

    Abstract Mycosis fungoides (MF) is a rare subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, for which no standard treatment exists. The objective of this study is to provide evidence-based recommendations for adult patients with early-stage MF treated with oral bexarotene and phototherapy. A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted utilizing studies identified via Embase, Pubmed, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library from inception to April 2020 to evaluate the clinical efficacy and adverse events of oral bexarotene and phototherapy. Of 645 abstracts retrieved, 17 full-text articles with 143 subjects were included for analysis. There were nine case reports, five retrospective cohort studies, two prospective cohort studies, and one randomized controlled trial. Most subjects were men (24.48%) with stage IB disease (54.4%), and the mean age at presentation was 63. One patient had folliculotropic disease. The retrospective studies' analysis included 67 subjects and indicated that the partial response was 40.36% (95% CI 18.24-64.92), complete response was 34.06% (95% CI 10.73-62.56), and overall response was 64.48% (95% CI 48.56-78.89). Side effects from bexarotene were hypertriglyceridemia (54%), hypothyroidism (50%), and hypercholesterolemia (46%). Similar results were noted in the prospective studies. The literature consists mostly of uncontrolled studies, which suggest that combination therapy with oral bexarotene and phototherapy is a therapeutic option. Future randomized control studies with longer follow-up and standardized definitions of treatment responses and dosages are needed to support the development of evidence-based approaches for the treatment of early-stage MF.

    Abstract Elisabeth Kübler-Ross' pioneering work focused on dying, yet some clinicians persist in prescribing it as a path through grief. We surveyed 964 mental health clinicians who completed a five-section mixed methods survey: two sections assessed knowledge with multiple choice questions and a case study to assess clinicians' knowledge-base and approach to grief/loss in practice. Analysis of four items related to Kübler-Ross' model and 66/962 case studies indicates ongoing use of "stages" and Kübler-Ross' model. Only 330 (34.2%) of the clinicians were deemed knowledgeable; 462 (47.9%) were questionable; and 172 (17.9%) were misinformed, continuing to use Kübler-Ross' stage theory for grief.

    Abstract Background: The rapid expansion of telemedicine, including teledermatology, during the COVID-19 pandemic has required both providers and patients alike to adapt to this digital transition. However, patient attitudes towards electronically shared images with their providers are poorly understood. To address this gap, we assessed digital image sharing preferences and associated determinants in a nationally representative sample.
    Methods: We analyzed pooled data from the Health Information National Trends Survey 4, Cycle 3 and 4. Digital image sharing preferences were compared by patient characteristics and beliefs via chi-square at a significance level of p<0.05, using sampling and jackknife replicate weights to develop nationally representative sample estimates and account for the complex survey design. P-values were adjusted for multiple comparisons when appropriate.
    Results: Among 6437 adults, 53.5% reported reluctance in electronically shared images and videos with providers. Greater aversion was observed among adults aged 75 or above (70.9%), retired (67.3%), and those with lower education (65.1%), lower annual income (60.9%), limited English proficiency (63.3%), distrust in health information from doctors (75.4%), and fair or poor health (60.4%).
    Conclusion: Patient hesitancy towards digital image sharing may present challenges for teledermatology adoption. Greater efforts may be needed to address the age and socioeconomic digital divide, multilingual telemedicine tools, and patient-physician dynamics to ensure vulnerable groups receive needed teledermatologic care.

    Abstract Rosacea, a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by recurrent episodes of facial flushing, erythema, pustules, and telangiectasia, largely affects fair-skinned women over 30 years of age. Although a long-recognized entity, the exact pathophysiology of this disease is still debated. Current theories highlight the role of the cutaneous microbiome and its associated inflammatory effects in rosacea's pathogenesis. However, microbiological reverberations are not limited to the skin, as recent studies have described the potential cutaneous effects of alterations in the gastrointestinal (GI) microbiome. Associations with additional GI pathologies, including small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), have been investigated, as well as Helicobacter pylori infection. In an attempt to better understand and characterize these relationships, as well as current treatment options, we conducted a systematic review of the literature in PubMed, Cochrane, and Embase from their inception to August 6, 2020. We have synthesized the literature findings within three sections of this manuscript: the cutaneous microbiome, the gut microbiome, and therapeutic strategies. Future studies should focus on specific mechanisms linking GI pathology with rosacea manifestations and the role of enteral drugs in mitigating cutaneous symptoms.
