Knowledge, Attitudes, and Perceptions of Skin Cancer Clinical Trials in the Hispanic Population.

Objective: To determine the factors that might limit Hispanic patients from participating in dermatological clinical trials.

Methods: From January 2022 to July 2022, we administered a 31-item, in-person questionnaire to patients recruited in the waiting area of the Caridad Center, one of the largest free clinics in the United States with a predominately Hispanic population, and a nearby private primary care clinic.

Results: Overall, Hispanic patients agreed significantly more with statements in the domain of attitude and behavioral beliefs compared to non-Hispanic survey respondents.

Persistent organonickel complexes as general platforms for Csp-Csp coupling reactions.

The importance of constructing Csp-Csp bonds has motivated the development of electrochemical, photochemical and thermal activation methods to reductively couple abundant aryl and alkyl electrophiles. However, these methodologies are limited to couplings of very specific substrate classes and require specialized sets of catalysts and reaction set-ups. Here we show a consolidation of these myriad strategies into a single set of conditions that enable reliable alkyl-aryl couplings, including those that were previously unknown.

Dermoscopic structures and patterns used in melanoma detection.

Melanoma is the leading cause of skin cancer-related deaths. Yet, early detection remains the most cost-effective means of preventing death from melanoma. Early detection can be achieved by a physician and/or the patient (also known as a self-skin exam).
