Advanced Doppler Ultrasound Insights: A Multicenter Prospective Study on Healthy Skin.

There have been multiple studies on the use of Doppler ultrasound to define skin inflammation, but the visible vessels of healthy skin have yet to be described. This study aimed to evaluate the visible vessels of healthy skin using Doppler ultrasound. Prospective multicenter study using Doppler ultrasound to analyze healthy skin.

Hidradenitis Suppurativa Registry of the Spanish Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (REHS): overview and performance metrics during the initial year.

Introduction: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a skin disease which has a major impact on the patients' quality of life. There are still uncertainties surrounding its epidemiology, natural history and saftety and efficacy profile of existing treatments. The Spanish Academy of Dermatology and Venereology has promoted the creation of a Spanish Registry of patients with HS (REHS).

International consensus statement on the use of ultrasound in hidradenitis suppurativa.

Background: So far, the evidence on the use of ultrasound (US) in hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) demonstrates the utility of US in the diagnosis, scoring and assessment of HS; however, to date, there is no international consensus statement on the use of US in HS, and several published guidelines do not include this topic.

Objectives: To create an international consensus statement on using US in HS that can cover and validate relevant aspects.

Methods: A three-round Delphi study with a panel of international experts representing four continents and working with US in HS in their daily practice.

[Translated article] Bishop Flap and Sigma Flap to Repair Surgical Defects in High-Tension Anatomical Regions.

Background: The reconstruction of surgical defects in high-tension anatomical regions is challenging due to the ischemia and subsequent necrosis associated with tension closure. Research on new flaps capable of closing these defects exerting less tension would be a tremendous advancement in dermatological surgery.

Patients And Methods: We conducted a multicenter, retrospective study that used 2 new flaps-the bishop and the sigma ones-to repair surgical defects in high-tension regions such as the scalp, lower extremities, and the nasal pyramid.
