International Dermatology Outcome Measures (IDEOM) - Report from the 2022 Annual Meeting.

Background: The International Dermatology Outcome Measures (IDEOM) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of evidence-based, consensus-driven outcome measures in dermatological diseases. Researchers and stakeholders from various backgrounds collaborate to develop these objective benchmark metrics to further advance treatment and management of dermatological conditions.

Summary: The 2022 IDEOM Annual Meeting was held on June 17-18, 2022.

Early Fractional Ablative Laser for Skin Cancer Excision Scars: A Randomized Split-Scar Study.

Background: Fractional ablative laser resurfacing has been shown to improve the final cosmetic appearance of surgical scars, but optimal timing is unknown.

Objective: To compare surgical scars treated with fractional carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) laser performed on Day 0 and Day 14.

Methods: Prospective, randomized, split-scar, physician-blinded study of 30 surgical scars on the limbs.

Limitations in the literature regarding Mohs surgery and staged excision for melanoma: A critical review of quality and data reporting.

Background And Objectives: The literature supporting Mohs micrographic surgery and staged excision in treating primary cutaneous melanoma is growing but has not been critically reviewed for bias.

Methods: Articles concerning Mohs micrographic surgery and staged excision for melanoma were assessed using modified "Risk of Bias in Non-randomized Studies of Interventions" (ROBINS-I) criteria, which measures bias in 7 categories.

Results: Forty-seven of 48 (97.

Intraoperative Electrosurgical Depilation of a Skin Graft.

Full-thickness skin grafts harvested from hair-bearing areas may negatively impact cosmetic outcomes if the recipient site is hairless. Intraoperative depilation of unwanted hair follicles using an electrosurgical device can permanently remove hair with a single treatment and improve overall cosmesis.

The effect of platelet-rich plasma on female androgenetic alopecia: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) may be a useful treatment for androgenetic alopecia (AGA), although objective studies are needed.

Objective: To determine whether PRP injections improve female AGA.

Method: Prospective randomized controlled trial of 30 women diagnosed with AGA.

Utility of Preinjection Aspiration for Hyaluronic Fillers: A Novel In Vivo Human Evaluation.

Background: Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers have increased in popularity. While complications are rare, practitioners should focus on their prevention. Preinjection aspiration remains controversial as an effective safety checkpoint.

Eccrine porocarcinoma presenting as a recurrent wart.

Eccrine porocarcinoma (EPC) is an exceedingly rare sweat gland tumor most commonly seen in older patients. Diagnosis of EPC is rare, representing a small percentage of cutaneous malignancies. In the absence of established guidelines, wide local excision (WLE) has traditionally been considered the standard treatment.

Evolution of the Picosecond Laser: A Review of Literature.

Background: Picosecond pulse duration lasers (PS) have altered the field of dermatology. PS were initially used in tattoo removal, to optimize efficacy and reduce side effects with nanosecond domain lasers. More recently, they have been demonstrated to be effective in the treatment of pigmentary disorders, acne scarring, and photoaging.

In Vitro Evaluation of Preinjection Aspiration for Hyaluronic Fillers as a Safety Checkpoint.

Background: Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers have increased in popularity. Although complications are rare, knowledge regarding their prevention and management are crucial. The utility of preinjection aspiration has become controversial.

Cadaveric simulation for improving surgical training in dermatology.

Simulation models are rapidly changing medical education, especially the training of dermatology residents. Various models are available, including cadaveric simulations. Our study evaluates the impact of a cadaveric simulation on the training of dermatology residents.

Treatment of pseudoxanthoma elasticum-like papillary dermal elastolysis with nonablative fractional resurfacing laser resulting in clinical and histologic improvement in elastin and collagen.

Objective: Pseudoxanthoma elasticum-like papillary dermal elastolysis (PXE-PDE) is a rare skin condition seen predominantly in elderly females. These asymptomatic lesions are brought to the dermatologist's attention due to patient's displeasure in their appearance. We report a case of a 28-year-old female with PXE-PDE on the right neck treated with nonablative fractional resurfacing (NAFR).

An atrophic plaque on the breast six years after breast reconstruction surgery.

Necrobiosis lipoidica (NL) is a cutaneous disease entity that typically manifests as atrophic yellow plaques with telangiectasias on the anterior tibial region. Although NL is commonly associated with diabetes mellitus, the role of trauma in disease development is less commonly emphasized. The relationship between NL and the Köbner phenomenon has been established, as a few cases of NL occurring in surgical scars have been reported in the literature.

Lasers in tattoo and pigmentation control: role of the PicoSure(®) laser system.

Background And Objectives: The use of picosecond lasers to remove tattoos has greatly improved due to the long-standing outcomes of nanosecond lasers, both clinically and histologically. The first aesthetic picosecond laser available for this use was the PicoSure(®) laser system (755/532 nm). Now that a vast amount of research on its use has been conducted, we performed a comprehensive review of the literature to validate the continued application of the PicoSure(®) laser system for tattoo removal.

Non-ablative fractional resurfacing in the treatment of scar contracture.

Background And Objectives: A 28-year-old female presented with extensive scarring after a traumatic injury to her right lower extremity. She had been hit by a vehicle one year prior to presentation and had several open fractures with extensive overlying cutaneous damage, which required multiple surgeries and skin grafts. She had limited range of motion of the affected limb secondary to scar contracture.
