Introduction: The mortality-to-incidence ratio (MIR) can be used to approximate healthcare inequities and is helpful to understand/compare cancer survival between geographic regions/jurisdictions. We investigated cutaneous melanoma (CM) outcomes through MIR analysis in Canadian jurisdictions and census divisions (CDs) between 1992 and 2016.
Methods: Data were obtained from the national databases from 1992 to 2016 for all Canadian jurisdictions, except Quebec.
New-onset of pemphigus following COVID-19 infection: A case report.
SAGE Open Med Case Rep
February 2024
Article Synopsis
- * A case study discusses a patient whose pemphigus was triggered by COVID-19, showing improvement with treatments like prednisone and mycophenolate mofetil after 9 months.
- * The unique histological findings prompted the hypothesis that COVID-19 may lead to the release of pemphigus antigens, and clinicians should be cautious about distinguishing it from paraneoplastic pemphigus, especially when specific staining patterns are observed.
Article Synopsis
- * Evidence shows it is at least as effective as other treatments for various skin issues, but there’s still limited data on its effectiveness for newer indications like actinic cheilitis and mycosis fungoides.
- * Challenges with the therapy include pain, cost, and inconsistent treatment protocols; more research is needed to enhance its effectiveness and patient experience.
Reactive Infectious Mucocutaneous Eruption is an acute mucocutaneous inflammation secondary to an infection with minimal to absent cutaneous features that has recently been linked to the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-19 (SARS-CoV-19 virus). Unfortunately, the relative rarity of case reports of Reactive Infectious Mucocutaneous Eruption in paediatric populations has led to fewer known successful treatment options with the current mainstay being systemic immunosuppression (e.g.
