All of Us (AoU) is an ongoing precision medicine-based research initiative by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) that facilitates research in populations traditionally underrepresented in biomedical research by prioritizing them for data collection. Our objective was to evaluate the burden of onychomycosis in underrepresented groups defined by the framework provided by AoU. The AoU Registered Tier dataset version 5 was used which includes data collected between May 30, 2017 and April 1, 2021. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis linking survey and electronic health record (EHR) data to estimate the prevalence of onychomycosis in underrepresented groups defined by race, ethnicity, age (≥ 75 years), disability, sexual orientation/gender identity (LGBTQIA +), income (annual household income ≤ \$35 000) and education (less than a high school degree). The latest All of Us data release includes 329,038 participants. Of these, 251,597 (76\%) had EHR data and 13,874 had onychomycosis (overall prevalence, 5.5\%; 95\% CI, 5.4-5.6). Multivariate analyses adjusted by tinea pedis, diabetes mellitus, immune compromise, nail psoriasis, and insurance status, in addition to the aforementioned variables, revealed that, compared with White participants, Black and Hispanic participants had a higher adjusted odds of onychomycosis (OR, 1.29; 95\% CI, 1.23-1.36 and OR, 1.24; 95\% CI, 1.17-1.31, respectively). Higher adjusted odds of onychomycosis were also observed in underrepresented groups. Our findings suggest a disproportionately high burden of onychomycosis in underrepresented groups, although further studies are needed to replicate our findings and address this disparity.}, language = {eng}, number = {3}, journal = {Archives of Dermatological Research}, author = {Moseley, Isabelle and Ragi, Sara D. and Ouellette, Samantha and Rao, Babar}, month = apr, year = {2023}, pmid = {36261664}, keywords = {Aged, Cross-Sectional Studies, Female, Fungal infection, Gender Identity, General dermatology, Humans, Male, Medical dermatology, Nail, Onychomycosis, Population Health, Prevalence, Tinea Pedis, United States}, pages = {647--651}, }

We developed a manually scanned single fiber OCT instrument to perform in vivo skin imaging and tumor boundary assessment. The goal is to achieve more accurate tissue excision in Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) and reduce the time required for MMS. The focus of this study was to develop a novel machine learning classification method to automatically identify abnormal skin tissues through one-class classification. We trained a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) with a U-Net architecture for automatic skin segmentation, used the pre-trained U-Net as a feature extractor, and trained one-class support vector machine (SVM) classifiers to detect abnormal tissues. The novelty of this study is the use of a neural network as a feature extractor and the use of a one-class SVM for abnormal tissue detection. Our approach eliminated the need to engineer the features for classification and eliminated the need to train the classifier with data obtained from abnormal tissues. To validate the effectiveness of the one-class classification method, we assessed the performance of our algorithm using computer synthesized data, and experimental data.

These subjects were followed over time in the clinic to take clinical pictures and monitor surface and anatomical changes in inflammation, melanin, and collagen at regular intervals post-peel (5 min, 48 h, and day 9). Dermoscope and Vivascope® were used to image surface and subsurface anatomical changes, respectively, and ConfoScan® was used to quantify aforementioned anatomical changes. Based on Vivascope and ConfoScan analysis, we could see clear visual clinical evidence of controlled injury-healing mechanism of peel's action: immediate but transient onset of inflammation within 5 min (indicate injury response by skin), followed by melanin redistribution evident at 48 h (indicate activation of skin's defense system), and remodeled fibrous collagen network without any inflammatory cells on day 9 (healing response).

Despite well-documented risks, there is no standardized, evidence-based approach to inject filler in this area, be it using a hypodermic needle or a microcannula. The authors, therefore, sought to establish a preference between the two methods to facilitate progression toward standardization and prevention of adverse events. METHODS: This is a systematic review of articles discussing hyaluronic acid tear trough injection techniques performed in vivo and related outcomes. Searches were conducted across The Cochrane Library, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase to yield relevant articles published before February of 2020. All selected articles incorporated discrete patient cases and were analyzed by a variety of variables assessing evidence strength, outcomes, technique, and patient safety. RESULTS: After appraisal, 42 articles met eligibility criteria: 20 using needles, 12 using cannulas, and 10 focusing on adverse events. Level III was the most commonly awarded evidence grade, corresponding to retrospective, nonexperimental descriptive studies. There were no statistically significant differences in reported aesthetic results, patient satisfaction, or incidence of adverse events across the needle-based and cannula-based articles. Some technique trends, such as targeted anatomical plane and needle position, emerged in subsequent articles. CONCLUSION: Given that there were no statistically significant differences in patient safety or outcomes, an evidence-based preference for needle or cannula injection into the tear trough cannot be made at this time. Current inconsistencies make tear trough injection procedures difficult to replicate, making standardization based on avoidance of adverse events not feasible.}, language = {eng}, number = {5}, journal = {Plast Reconstr Surg}, author = {Rao, B.

Routinely available options to assess psoriasis severity and progression are limited. More options are needed to monitor disease progression as therapeutic management is based on disease severity. OBJECTIVES: This study evaluates the usage of complete blood count components (CBC) including platelet count, mean platelet volume (MPV), and red cell distribution width (RDW) as hematological markers for assessing psoriasis severity. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this cross-sectional study of 120 patients with psoriasis, disease severity was assessed using the PASI score followed by a blood draw to determine whether correlations existed between each marker and PASI score. RESULTS: A significant, positive correlation was found between total platelet count and PASI while no such correlation was found in MPV and RDW. When stratifying for age, duration of disease, sex, and body parts involved, we found intriguing relationships and offer potential explanations for their occurrence. CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that hematological parameters MPV, platelet count, and RDW found in the CBC are useful in identifying psoriasis severity to some extent. We foresee the use of RDW, MPV, and platelet count biomarkers as a complement to the PASI score in assessing severity for psoriasis patients, while also as a gauge for likelihood of developing comorbidities such as cardiovascular disease.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of our case study was to elucidate the mechanism of action of professional peels/peeling. For proof-of-concept, we used a commercial blended peel containing trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and lactic acid. METHODS: The facial peeling was performed by a physician on 4 subjects. These subjects were followed over time in the clinic to take clinical pictures and monitor surface and anatomical changes in inflammation, melanin, and collagen at regular intervals post-peel (5 mins, 48 hrs, and day 9). Dermoscope and Vivascope® were used to image surface and subsurface anatomical changes, respectively, and ConfoScan® was used to quantify aforementioned anatomical changes. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Based on Vivascope and ConfoScan analysis, we could see clear visual clinical evidence of controlled injury-healing mechanism of peel's action: immediate but transient onset of inflammation within 5 minutes (indicate injury response by skin), followed by melanin redistribution evident at 48 hours (indicate activation of skin's defense system), and remodeled fibrous collagen network without any inflammatory cells on day 9 (healing response).

Scars secondary to acne can lead to physical disfigurements and a profound psychological impact. Early and effective treatment is the best means to minimize and prevent acne scarring. In patients with darker skin tones, current acne scar treatments pose complications, including dyspigmentation, further scarring, and overall unsatisfactory clinical outcomes. OBJECTIVE: We sought to compare the efficacy of microneedling versus 35\% glycolic acid chemical peels for the treatment of acne scars. METHODS: Sixty patients with Fitzpatrick Skin Phototype IV to VI with atrophic acne scars were randomized into two groups: Group A underwent microneedling every two weeks for a total of 12 weeks and Group B received chemical peels every two weeks for a total of 12 weeks. Acne scar treatment efficacy was represented by an improvement greater than one grade from baseline according to the Goodman and Baron Scarring Grading System, measured two weeks after the completion of the last treatment session. RESULTS: Group A demonstrated more improved outcomes in acne scar treatment compared to Group B; 73.33\% (n=22) of patients in Group A achieved treatment efficacy while 33.33\% (n=10) in Group B did the same. Additionally, 26.67\% (n=8) in Group A showed no efficacy after treatment compared to 66.67\% (n=20) in Group B.

Over the past decade, the advent of targeted therapy and immunotherapy have productively enriched the treatment options for advanced melanomas and further improved the prognosis. The treatment of melanoma is a rapidly evolving field. In patients with sentinel lymph node (SLN)-positive (SLN+) melanoma, the role of complete lymph node dissection (CLND) is still a matter of debate. Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is a staging procedure for melanoma that is routinely offered to patients with tumor thickness \≥1 mm or \≥0.8 mm with additional risk factors and is widely accepted as an important diagnostic and prognostic tool, since SLN+ patients can receive adjuvant targeted treatment or immunotherapy. Currently, the role of CLND has largely been replaced by often recommended adjuvant therapies since their approval.

RCM images were taken to visualize transepidermal application of topically-applied zinc. The intensity of zinc reflectance at different depths was measured by ImageJ software. Based on LAST scores, the 'stinger' group showed significantly higher reflectance of zinc at 8 µm (stratum corneum) [face (P {\textless} 0.001), forearm (P = 0.004)], and at 80-104 µm (dermo-epidermal junction layer) on the face.

Additionally, we present the findings of a literature review for similar reported cases conducted by searching the following terms on PubMed: reflectance confocal microscopy, RCM, lentigo maligna, melanoma, Langerhans cells, dendritic cells, and atypical cells. In our case, the lesion was determined to be a solar lentigo on histopathology. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) with CD1a identified the atypical-appearing cells as ILC, as it did in 54 reported cases of benign lesions (benign melanocytic nevus, Sutton/halo nevus, labial melanotic macule, and solar lentigo) misdiagnosed as malignant on RCM (melanoma, lip melanoma, lentigo maligna, and LM melanoma). According to our case and the literature, both ILC and atypical melanocytes can present with atypical-appearing dendritic and/or roundish cells under RCM. Currently, there is no method to distinguish the two without IHC.
