During an outbreak of Sarcophagidae, or flesh flies, in a community hospital's perioperative department, the infection prevention and control (IPC) department developed, validated, and piloted a novel epidemiologic tool to track hourly fly prevalence by room. Interrater reliability of the tool was measured as 0.88 and hourly point prevalence counts were superimposed on floor plans to create heat maps.

Objective: To use 3D photography to evaluate the clinical efficacy of a novel radiofrequency delivery device used to improve the appearance of rhytids and laxity of the face and neck.

Study Design: Forty-nine subjects received a total of two radio-frequency treatments to the face and neck one-month apart. The novel radio-frequency delivery device was used to heat the dermis between 41-43°C for five heat cycles.

A three month, open-label, single center study was conducted to determine whether a uniquely derived serum containing barley bioengineered, human-like epidermal growth factor protein could improve visible signs of photodamage and aging in facial skin. Twenty-nine females, aged 39 to 75 years, with mild to severe, fine and course rhytids, photodamage, and pigmentation were enrolled. Subjects then applied the treatment serum per the prescribed protocol twice-daily for 3 months, in addition to the use of a basic sunscreen and facial cleanser.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Jonathan M Schouest"

  • - Jonathan M Schouest's research primarily focuses on the intersection of dermatological procedures and epidemiological tools, with a significant emphasis on infection control and skin rejuvenation techniques in clinical settings
  • - His work includes the validation of a novel epidemiologic tool for tracking fly infestations in hospital settings, demonstrating a high interrater reliability (0.88) and providing actionable data for infection control response
  • - In dermatological studies, Schouest has evaluated innovative treatments like a radio-frequency device for skin rejuvenation and a barley-derived serum with synthetic epidermal growth factor, both showing promising results for improving skin appearance and reducing signs of aging in clinical trials
