Journal of Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery, Ahead of Print. BackgroundSystemic therapy for atopic dermatitis (AD) has been challenging with limited safe and efficacious long-term treatment options. In 2017, dupilumab was approved in the United States, Europe, and Canada as the first targeted therapy for patients with moderate-to-severe AD. Despite promising efficacy and safety results in clinical trials, our understanding of dupilumab in clinical practice remains limited with few studies outside clinical...

Journal of Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery, Ahead of Print. BackgroundDermatological conditions are commonly seen in the emergency department and inpatient wards. The ability to access dermatology on-call services improves the accuracy of diagnosis and management of common and sometimes life-threatening conditions. Limitations of dermatologist availability led to the suspension of the dermatology on-call service for 3 months in Ottawa, Canada.ObjectivesOur objective was to assess the impact of this...

Journal of Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery, Ahead of Print. Atopic dermatitis (AD) severity measurement scales are important in clinical trials as objective outcome measures and are often required for government and private insurance plans. These scales are sometimes underused by clinicians due to a variety of factors including time constraints and lack familiarity. We conducted a literature review on the most commonly used AD measurement scales and provide succinct user guides and scoring explanations,...

Abstract This study aimed to determine the whole gene expression profiles and to ascertain potential biomarkers for 22 oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) among Thai patients using the Illumina Human HT-12, V4.0 Expression BeadChip array. Result indicated 2,724 differential expressed genes composed of 1,560 up-regulated and 1,164 down-regulated genes (unpaired t-test, p-value <0.05; fold change ≥2.0 and ≤2.0). The top 9 up-regulated genes were validated in 39 OSCC cases using...

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), previously known as the novel coronavirus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) emerged in December 2019 and spread worldwide. The World Health Organization declared this pandemic outbreak a global public health emergency, and as of April 7, 2020, 1,282,931 cases and 72,774 deaths have been reported in 211 countries.[1] Approximately 18 million cases of cancer are diagnosed worldwide annually;[2] thus, treating and simultaneously...

Radiation therapy plays a critical role in the treatment of esophageal cancer (EC), especially for locally advanced EC [1]. Historically, three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT) has been the most widely used radiation technique for EC. Based on inverse planning algorithm and complex modulated beams, IMRT can provide improved target coverage and better sparing of organs at risk (OARs) [2]. Therefore, as an advanced conformal radiation modality, intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) has...

Since its outbreak in December 2019 [1], the novel coronavirus (SARS–CoV-2) and associated respiratory disease (COVID-19) have led to a global pandemic, adversely impacting healthcare across the world [2]. The field of oncology faces particular challenges, as reports from Wuhan indicate that cancer patients are more vulnerable to COVID-19 and carry a greater risk of morbidity and death [3]. These data are corroborated by reports from Italy [4–6], in which radiotherapy (RT) departments have also been...
