Skin Cancer Diagnosis Among People With Disabilities.

Introduction: People with disabilities face unique challenges that may affect skin cancer prevention, diagnosis, and access to treatment. These challenges could be exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2022, the prevalence of self-reported skin cancer diagnoses, delayed medical care because of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, and skin cancer risk factors among people with disabilities were estimated.

Hydroxyurea-induced genital ulcers and erosions: Two case reports.

Hydroxyurea is a chemotherapeutic agent used for myeloproliferative disorders and sickle cell anemia that is well known to cause painful mucocutaneous ulcers, typically involving the legs or mouth. However, genital ulcerations due to hydroxyurea therapy are a rare, and likely underrecognized, adverse effect with only a few cases reported in the literature to date. Ulcers of the lower legs caused by hydroxyurea are associated with a diagnostic delay, and this is likely exacerbated in cases of genital ulceration due to a lack of awareness.

A feasibility study of the burden of disease of atopic dermatitis using a smartphone research application, .

Background: Our understanding of chronic diseases, such as atopic dermatitis (AD), could benefit from the ability to rapidly collect patient-reported, longitudinal data from a large population.

Objective: This study aimed to determine whether a smartphone app can be used to collect demographic and longitudinal symptom data and recognize prescribing patterns and affordability of medications to study the burden of AD.

Methods: We collected data using the myEczema smartphone app between July 2017 and April 2018.

Considerations for the Selection and Use of Disinfectants Against SARS-CoV-2 in a Health Care Setting.

Proper disinfection using adequate disinfecting agents will be necessary for infection control strategies against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, limited guidance exists on effective surface disinfectants or best practices for their use against severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2. We outlined a process of fully characterizing over 350 products on the Environmental Protection Agency List N, including pH, method of delivery, indication for equipment sterilization, and purchase availability.
