We analyzed posed as questions using a systematic content analysis approach categorized into need goal types subtypes.The resulted in an average 80 per interview. them 6 types: (1) situation understanding,...
Abstract Twelve previously unreported cases of nevus comedonicus are presented. Characteristic closely grouped dilated follicular openings with horny plugs that mimic comedones led to the diagnosis. One patient had syndrome and there were atypical locations unusual complications this condition. We also highlight clinical associations therapeutic options.
<h3>Importance</h3> Acne is a common dermatologic condition and significantly affects psychosocial health quality of life. An international task force recommended routine use quality-of-life measures for clinic visits associated with acne management, but this has yet to translate into clinical practice. <h3>Objective</h3> To assess mean Skindex-16 scores over time among patients moderate severe receiving isotretinoin treatment. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> A longitudinal,...
RASopathies are disorders resulting from mutations in the RAS-MAPK pathway that often cause lymphatic anomalies, including lymphedema, chylous ascites, or chylothorax, which contributes to significant morbidity and mortality. Inhibition of MEK, a crucial enzyme RAS-MAPK-ERK signaling pathway, has been demonstrated modulate upregulated signaling, may lead reconfiguration vessels. While MEK inhibitors have employed off-label for malformations associated with RASopathies, there is limited data...
Autoimmune bullous diseases (AIBDs) are chronic relapsing-remitting conditions with significant morbidity. Skin-related quality of life (SRQL) may vary by AIBD subtype and disease type. Disease severity flare can be difficult to define; SRQL offer a key insight.
Background Pain is an underappreciated symptom of atopic dermatitis that can affect the health-related quality life (HRQL) patients. Objective The aim this study to understand effect pain on patients with and their family members recognize how affects HRQL. Methods We conducted focus groups interviews members.

Infantile perianal protrusion is characterized by a skin fold located in the area. It relatively recent reported condition and affects both infants prepubertal children with clear female predominance. Three types are recognized: constitutional/congenital, acquired, associated lichen sclerosus et atrophicus. We report eleven new cases, three of whom have defect locations that been only once before. would like to increase awareness this avoid erroneous diagnostic therapeutic procedures.
Cornelia de Lange (CdLS) is caused by genes affecting the function of cohesin that can impact cell replication (mitosis and meiosis) disrupt normal development. Heterozygous pathogenic variants in NIPBL, SMC3, BRD4, RAD21, or hemizygous pathogenetic X-linked HDAC8 SMC1A cause a spectrum severity depending on gene involved and, for some genes, type variant (missense, splice site, frameshift nonsense). RAD21 usually causes milder form CdLS accounts less than 1% all identified variants. Our...
Abstract Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) capture disease severity metrics from the patient’s perspective, including health-related quality of life (HRQL). Disease-specific validation PROMs improves their clinical utility. We evaluated construct validity (HRQL) for Skindex-16 in routinely seen psoriasis patients and characterized instances discordance between scores clinician reported measure severity. retrospectively studied by University Utah Dermatology 2016 to 2020....
Patients with psoriasis commonly report experiencing severe sensory symptoms, and the burden of these symptoms can extend beyond unpleasant experiences to impair patients' health-related quality life (HRQL). However, symptom pain its consequences are still poorly understood in patients.
