    Abstract Zoom dysmorphia (ZD) is a facial dysmorphia that is triggered or aggravated by frequent virtual meetings. The frequent use of videoconferencing platforms has been linked to a distorted perception of facial images as individuals have an increased awareness of their appearance, given constant video feedback. As a result, dysmorphic concerns can develop. It is crucial to identify ZD as this condition interferes with an individual's life and can trigger or aggravate body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). A standardized approach for screening ZD in non-psychiatric settings has yet to be defined. We discuss the features of ZD and the challenges of screening for ZD in a virtual setting. To facilitate the recognition of ZD in telehealth consultations, we propose a comprehensive ZD screening questionnaire that includes questions related to typical ZD features and a BDD-focused question. The questionnaire is concise and allows the identification of individuals with a potential ZD. A BDD assessment in such individuals should follow.

    Abstract Dermatologic diseases often exhibit distinct geographic patterns, underscoring the significant role of regional environmental, genetic, and sociocultural factors in driving their prevalence and manifestations. Geographic information and geospatial analysis enable researchers to investigate the spatial distribution of adverse health outcomes and their relationship with socioeconomic and environmental risk factors that are inherently geographic. Health geographers and spatial epidemiologists have developed numerous geospatial analytical tools to collect, process, visualize, and analyze geographic data. These tools help provide vital spatial context to the comprehension of the underlying dynamics behind health outcomes. By identifying areas with high rates of dermatologic disease and areas with barriers to access to quality dermatologic care, findings from studies utilizing geospatial analysis can inform the design and targeting of policy and intervention to help improve dermatologic healthcare outcomes and promote health equity. This article emphasizes the significance of geospatial data and analysis in dermatology research. We explore the common processes in data acquisition, harmonization, and geospatial analytics while conducting spatially and dermatologically relevant research. The article also highlights the practical application of geospatial analysis through instances drawn from the dermatology literature.

    Abstract As they are collectively the most common malignancies, the personal and systemic burden of skin cancers represent a significant public health concern in the United States. Ultraviolet radiation from the sun as well as from artificial sources such as tanning beds is a carcinogen well-known to increase the risk of developing skin cancer in individuals. Public health policies can help mitigate these risks. In this perspectives article, we review sunscreen and sunglasses standards, tanning bed utilization, and workplace sun protection guidelines in the US and provide focused examples for improvement from Australia and the United Kingdom where skin cancer is a well-documented public health concern. These comparative examples can inform interventions in the US that have the potential to modify exposure to risk factors associated with skin cancer.

    Abstract Recognizing the skin manifestations of metabolic and endocrine disorders, many of which may have potentially lethal complications, is important for dermatologists and other clinicians. The skin can be a window into a patient's internal health, and cutaneous manifestations can facilitate early diagnosis and intervention of potentially life-altering systemic disorders with associated morbidity and mortality. This contribution provides an overview of the diverse rashes associated with potentially lethal, acquired metabolic and endocrine disorders of the pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, pancreas, adrenals, and blood, as well as neuroendocrine and nutritional disease.

    Abstract It is generally believed that intervention on skin while on isotretinoin or within 6 to 12 months after treatment can lead to prolonged healing and abnormal scarring. The objective of this systematic review is to evaluate the body of evidence on concomitant use of isotretinoin and lasers for adverse events as a consequence of treatment. A PRISMA-compliant systematic review (Systematic Review Registration Number: CRD42017056492) of 12 electronic databases was conducted for the terms "laser" and "isotretinoin" or associated brand names from inception until June 2020. Subsequent reference search of studies meeting predefined inclusion criteria were conducted, and all articles were evaluated for bias and assigned levels of evidence to facilitate data synthesis. The search strategy produced 29 studies. Of 871 patients included in the studies of interest, 12 experienced transient adverse effects that resolved spontaneously, and only two presented with keloid formation, both from case reports. This systematic review suggests the risk associated with concomitant isotretinoin and laser use is small to absent. Further studies are needed, but these results suggest that current contraindications may be overly cautious.

    Abstract It is generally believed that ablative laser therapies result in prolonged healing and greater adverse events when compared with nonablative lasers for skin resurfacing. To evaluate the efficacy of ablative laser use for skin resurfacing and adverse events as a consequence of treatment in comparison to other modalities, a PRISMA-compliant systematic review (Systematic Review Registration Number: 204016) of twelve electronic databases was conducted for the terms "ablative laser" and "skin resurfacing" from March 2002 until July 2020. Studies included meta-analyses, randomized control trials, cohort studies, and case reports to facilitate evaluation of the data. All articles were evaluated for bias. The search strategy produced 34 studies. Of 1093 patients included in the studies of interest, adverse events were reported in a total of 106 patients (9.7%). Higher rates of adverse events were described in nonablative therapies (12.2% ± 2.19%, 31 events) when compared with ablative therapy (8.28% ± 2.46%, 81 events). 147 patients (13.4%) reported no side effects, 68 (6.22%) reported expected, transient self-resolving events, and five (0.046%) presented with hypertrophic scarring. Excluding transient events, ablative lasers had fewer complications overall when compared with nonablative lasers (2.56% ± 2.19% vs 7.48% ± 3.29%). This systematic review suggests ablative laser use for skin resurfacing is a safe and effective modality to treat a range of pathologies from photodamage and acne scars to hidradenitis suppurativa and posttraumatic scarring from basal cell carcinoma excision. Further studies are needed, but these results suggest that ablative lasers are a superior, safe, and effective modality to treat damaged skin.

    Abstract Unmet dermatologic needs of the uninsured patient population are important to identify and address, especially as the COVID-19 pandemic has introduced additional barriers of access to care. We describe the successful collaboration between a student-run free clinic and dermatology practice since 2012, highlighting excellent time to appointment intervals and resolution rates as well as the associated modest financial cost. We believe that the information provided in our report may serve as a proof of concept and facilitate the implementation of such collaborations throughout the United States.

    Abstract Introduction: Surgical management of NSTIs can result in complex wounds, and closure of these wounds is often difficult or complicated. Although surgical factors influencing mortality and LOS have been well described, little is known about patient, wound, and surgical factors associated with time to closure.
    Objective: The purpose of this study is to identify patient, wound, and surgical factors that may influence time to closure of NSTIs.
    Materials and methods: The records of patients who presented to a tertiary care center over an 11-year period (2007-2017) with an NSTI requiring surgical closure were retrospectively reviewed.
    Results: Forty-seven patients met the inclusion criteria. The average time to closure was 31.1 days, with an average of 4.8 procedures. Most patients were middle aged (mean, 50.3 years; range, 20-81 years), immunocompetent, and nondiabetic upon admission. Closure was achieved mainly with autograft. The percent TBSA was described in 19 cases (40%). There was no association between substance use (alcohol, smoking, or other), anticoagulant medication use, or medical comorbidities and time to closure. On multivariable analysis, flap closure (P =.02) and increased number of surgical procedures (P =.003)-the latter reflecting the need for an increased number of debridements-were associated with increased time to closure.
    Conclusions: The data in this study suggest that use of local flaps for wound closure and increased number of surgical procedures (particularly debridements) may be predictors of time to closure in patients with an NSTI.
