Article Synopsis
- A study aimed to explore the connection between socioeconomic status (SES) and the prevalence of psoriasis found that higher SES is significantly associated with increased rates of the skin condition.
- Researchers analyzed data from nearly 4.6 million patients, concluding that those in the highest SES group were 1.43 times more likely to have psoriasis than those in the lowest SES group.
- The findings suggest a correlation between SES and psoriasis prevalence, prompting the need for further research to understand the underlying factors behind this association.
Article Synopsis
- Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that significantly impacts patients' quality of life and healthcare costs.
- A study analyzed electronic health records from 2016 to 2019, finding that HS incidence and prevalence rates in Israel increased, particularly among Jews with lower socioeconomic status.
- The increase in HS cases highlights the need for improved awareness among healthcare policymakers to better allocate resources and reduce diagnosis delays.
Drainless thyroid surgeries including goiter or central neck dissection: a case-control study.
Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol
March 2024
Background: Despite ample of evidence regarding feasibility of simple drainless thyroid surgeries, the evidence of feasibility of such procedures in goiters and central neck dissections remains limited.
Methods: Patients undergoing total thyroidectomy (TT) between January 2017 and July 2022 were included. The study included two study groups: drainless TT with central neck dissection (CND) and drainless TT due to goiter, which were compared to two controls: non-goiter drainless TT and drained TT for goiter or with CND.
