Update on the Pathogenesis of Keloid Formation.

Keloids are abnormal skin growths occurring in a significant portion of the global population. Despite their pervasiveness, the underlying pathophysiology of this scarring process is yet to be fully understood. In this review article, we delve into the current literature on the pathophysiological mechanisms of keloids.

ATLAS: A positive, high-yield review of patient symptoms most significantly associated with melanoma recurrence.

Background: No standardized, evidence-based surveillance practices exist to guide and optimize recurrence detection in patients with cutaneous melanoma.

Objective: To determine the most high-yield positive review of systems for signaling recurrence in patients with cutaneous melanoma.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study assessed patients with a history of cutaneous melanoma and compared demographic and clinical characteristics, including a comprehensive review of systems, among those who experienced recurrence and those who did not.
