In 1859, the New Sydenham Society undertook the publication of an Atlas of Portraits of Diseases of the Skin, having been inspired by Ferdinand Ritter von Hebra's Atlas der Hautkrankheiten. Utilizing information contained in Sir Jonathan Hutchinson's Descriptive Catalogue of the New Sydenham's Society Atlas of Portraits of Diseases of the Skin (published in 1869 and 1875), an exhibit of twenty-five illustrations of cutaneous disorders, along with teaching points, was held at the Harvey Cushing/John Jay Whitney Medical Library at Yale University. It served as an educational tool for dermatologists, dermatology residents, medical students, and even physicians from other specialties.

Article Synopsis
- Drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DiHS), also known as DRESS, is a serious skin reaction that includes symptoms like fever and involvement of internal organs, commonly triggered by medications like anticonvulsants and antibiotics.
- The condition typically arises 2-6 weeks after drug exposure and is driven by a complex interaction between the drugs, viruses, and the immune system, particularly T-cells.
- This continuing medical education activity aims to inform healthcare professionals about the latest trends in DiHS/DRESS's epidemiology, underlying mechanisms, and clinical features for better prognosis and treatment.
Article Synopsis
- - Drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DIHS) is a serious skin reaction that includes symptoms like rashes, fever, and problems with blood and organs, making it crucial to distinguish it from other similar conditions and diseases.
- - Although there are proposed diagnostic criteria for DIHS, there's no established consensus, so identifying the right cause can be complex and requires thorough evaluation.
- - The main treatment involves stopping the suspected drug immediately and using systemic corticosteroids, with ongoing research into alternatives; follow-up care is also essential to monitor for any long-term effects.
Importance: Therapy for advanced melanoma has transformed during the past decade, but early detection and prognostic assessment of cutaneous melanoma (CM) remain paramount goals. Best practices for screening and use of pigmented lesion evaluation tools and gene expression profile (GEP) testing in CM remain to be defined.
Objective: To provide consensus recommendations on optimal screening practices and prebiopsy diagnostic, postbiopsy diagnostic, and prognostic assessment of CM.
