The Social and Home Environment: Impacts of Determinants of Health on Atopic Dermatitis, Pathways Toward Solutions, and Unique Considerations for Rural and Remote North American Indigenous Populations.

Disparities in environmental and social determinants of health (DOH) are associated with morbidity in atopic dermatitis (AD). The socioecological model (SEM) is a framework that can be applied to better understand how such DOH impacts patients with AD. We include a case scenario of a remote Indigenous patient reflective of real-world situations of living with AD and examine relevant impact, gaps in knowledge, and further research needs.

An atypical presentation of extensive centrofacial microcystic adnexal carcinoma responding to radiation: A case report and review of the literature.

Microcystic adnexal carcinoma is a rare cutaneous neoplasm believed to arise from pluripotent keratinocytes capable of adnexal differentiation. Due to its insidious growth and appearance, diagnosis is often delayed. A deep incisional or excisional biopsy for histopathology is the gold standard for diagnosis.

Trichoblastomas Mimicking Basal Cell Carcinoma: The Importance of Identification and Differentiation.

Trichoblastoma is a rare, slow-growing, benign cutaneous tumor derived from follicular germinative cells. Trichoblastoma commonly appears as an asymptomatic, symmetrical, well-circumscribed, skin-colored to brown or blue-black papule or nodule. It may appear clinically and histologically similar to basal cell carcinoma, making its diagnosis challenging.

Toluene Toxicity: A Case Report of Transdermal Exposure Causing Hypokalemic Paralysis.

Rationale: Hypokalemia is a common finding. Typically asymptomatic presentations of neuromuscular weakness emerge at levels below 2.5 mmol/L.

Geographic distribution of vestibular schwannomas in West Scotland between 2000-2015.

Background: Although the natural history of vestibular schwannomas (VS) has been previously studied, few studies have investigated associated epidemiological factors, primarily because of the lack of large available cohorts.

Objective: The objective of this study was to perform a multi-scale geographical analysis of the period prevalence of VS in West Scotland from 2000 to 2015.

Methods: Adults diagnosed with sporadic VS were identified through the National Health Services of West Scotland database and geocoded to the unit postcode.
