Purpose: The aim of this research is to describe the use of the social media platform, Instagram, by academic ophthalmology residency programs in the United States over time and consider the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on ophthalmology's social media presence.
Methods And Subjects: This cross-sectional study was conducted online by reviewing the publicly accessible Instagram accounts of all accredited US academic ophthalmology residency programs.
Main Outcomes And Measures: Number of US ophthalmology residency programs with an affiliated Instagram account were analyzed by year of creation.
Aim: Elevated Src-Family tyrosine kinase (SFK) activity drives carcinogenesis and elevated SFK activity is found ubiquitously in human cancers. Although human squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) demonstrate increased SFK activity, in silico analysis of SCCs demonstrates that only 0.4% of lesions contain mutations that could potentially increase SFK activity; similarly, a low frequency of activating SFK mutations is found in other major cancers.

Although SCCIS is common, its pathogenesis remains poorly understood. To better understand SCCIS development, we performed laser captured microdissection of human SCCIS and the adjacent epidermis to isolate genomic DNA and RNA for next-generation sequencing.
