Does Teledermatology Enable Earlier Diagnosis of Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma Than Face-to-face Consultation?

Authors: Marta Cebolla Verdugo, Husein Husein El-Ahmed, Ricardo Ruiz Villaverde

Earlier diagnosis of skin cancer improves outcomes. This study shows that teledermatology helps detect squamous cell carcinoma at an earlier stage. With shorter waiting times, patients can receive faster treatment. Teledermatology also helps hospitals prioritize urgent cases and reduce unnecessary delays. These findings support the use of digital tools to improve cancer care and access to specialists.

Clinical Impact of Systemic Treatment Choices Made in Current Practice in Elderly Patients with Atopic Dermatitis

The number of elderly people with atopic dermatitis is expected to increase in the future, but data from clinical trials in the elderly are lacking. This study analysed data from 679 patients with atopic dermatitis aged ≥ 65 (n = 83) and < 65 (n = 596) years from initiation of treatment by a participating dermatologist. Results showed that treatment was as effective in elderly patients as in younger patients. Treatment improved both measures of disease and quality of life, which suggests it is possible to significantly improve the burden of atopic dermatitis in elderly patients using standard treatments with a good risk–benefit profile.

Margin Status following Simple Excision of Head and Neck Basal Cell Carcinoma: A Population-Based, Cross-Sectional Study of 9,291 Excisions

Authors: Milad K. Tabatabai, Johan Sieborg, Katrine E. Karmisholt, Nina L. Mårtensson, Grethe Schmidt, Emily Wenande, Merete Haedersdal

A mainstay treatment for basal cell carcinomas of the head and neck is simple excision with a fixed surgical margin. This large-scale national cross-sectional study assessed 9,291 head and neck basal cell carcinoma excisions throughout 2022. Overall, 4 out of 5 basal cell carcinomas (80.0%; 95% confidence interval 79.2–80.8%) were excised with free margins, with the highest odds of tumour-positive margins in high-risk histopathologic subtypes, superficial basal cell carcinomas, auricular, postauricular, nasal anatomic locations, and small specimen sizes.

Application of T-SPOT.TB in the Diagnosis of Cutaneous Myco­bacterium marinum Infections and Evaluation of Treatment Efficacy

Authors: Chen Cen, Bibo Xie, Rui Zeng, Wenyue Zhang, Hongsheng Wang, Xudong Sang

This study demonstrates that T-SPOT.TB, a standardized interferon-γ release assay (IGRA), can serve as an adjunctive tool for rapid diagnosis and treatment monitoring of cutaneous infections caused by M. marinum. Monitoring dynamic changes in T-SPOT.TB reactivity during treatment provides clinicians with objective immunological data to supplement clinical evaluation of treatment efficacy. This approach may facilitate earlier and more precise diagnosis, enabling optimized treatment strategies that reduce therapeutic delays and improve clinical outcomes – particularly in high-risk populations with aquatic exposures, such as aquaculture workers.

Prevalence of Central Sensitization in Notalgia Paresthetica Patients and its Association with Vertebral Degeneration: A Cross-sectional Study

Authors: Derya Cirakoglu, Fatma Etgü

Notalgia paresthetica is a chronic skin condition that causes persistent itching and skin discoloration, primarily on the back. Our study found that patients with this condition exhibited higher levels of central sensitization compared with healthy controls. Central sensitization was associated with more intense itch and pain, and patients had more widespread spinal degeneration and lesions. Therefore, targeting central sensitization in treatments for these patients could enhance treatment effectiveness and significantly improve their quality of life.
