Implementation of Teledermatology in Alberta, Canada: A Report of One Thousand Cases.

Background: Teledermatology utilizes photoimaging and background information to allow dermatologists to remotely provide a diagnosis to practitioners. ConsultDerm is an asynchronous, web-based teledermatology software that allows practitioners to submit their electronic referrals for assessment by board-certified dermatologists.

Objective: Our study aimed to retrospectively analyze teledermatology's utilization in Canada by using the teledermatology platform ConsultDerm.

Retrospective Study of Patients With SJS/TEN Treated at a Tertiary Burn Unit in Canada: Overview of 17 Years of Treatment.

Background: Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are adverse drug reactions.

Objectives: To learn about the clinical characteristics of patients with SJS/TEN including treatments provided, outcomes, and mortality.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review of patients who were hospitalized with the diagnosis of SJS/TEN at the Ross Tilley Burn Center between the years 1999 and 2015.

SJS/TEN 2019: From science to translation.

Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN) are potentially life-threatening, immune-mediated adverse reactions characterized by widespread erythema, epidermal necrosis, and detachment of skin and mucosa. Efforts to grow and develop functional international collaborations and a multidisciplinary interactive network focusing on SJS/TEN as an uncommon but high burden disease will be necessary to improve efforts in prevention, early diagnosis and improved acute and long-term management. SJS/TEN 2019: From Science to Translation was a 1.

Photodistributed sarcoidosis: a case report and approach to management.

Sarcoidosis is an idiopathic disease, characterized by non-caseating granulomas in multiple organs/tissues. Cutaneous involvement occurs in approximately one-quarter of patients with a wide variety of presenting morphologies. This case report describes a case of photodistributed sarcoidosis, a rare cutaneous variant, with systemic involvement.

Severe Physical Complications among Survivors of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis.

Introduction: Few studies have reported the physical complications among Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) survivors.

Objective: The aim of this study was to comprehensively characterize the physical complications among SJS/TEN survivors and to learn about patients' perspectives of surviving SJS/TEN.

Methods: SJS/TEN survivors older than 18 years of age were assessed by different methods: a medical interview; a questionnaire assessing patients' perspectives; thorough skin, oral mucous membrane, and ophthalmic examinations; and a retrospective assessment of medical records.

An evaluation of accessibility and content of microsurgery fellowship websites.

Background: Websites for residency and fellowship programs serve as effective educational and recruitment tools.

Objective: To evaluate the accessibility and content of fellowship websites that are commonly used by microsurgery applicants for career development.

Methods: A list of one-year microsurgery fellowship websites (MFWs) was compiled by visiting the centralized American Society for Reconstructive Microsurgery (ASRM) website, followed by performing an extensive 'Google' search in October 2015.

Enucleation Refusal for Retinoblastoma: A Global Study.

Background: Enucleation (eye removal) is often the only curative treatment for the childhood eye cancer retinoblastoma, yet parental refusal of enucleation commonly contributes to treatment delay and poor survival globally.

Methods: Physicians who treat retinoblastoma were surveyed to glean underlying reasons for treatment refusal.

Results: Refusal rates were higher when less time was spent with parents explaining retinoblastoma/enucleation, and where fewer support services were available.
