Introduction: Seborrheic dermatitis (SD) affects a large, diverse population and is associated with significant morbidity/burden.

Methods: The Harris Poll conducted online surveys to understand the perceptions, preferences, and experiences regarding treatments of US patients with SD and dermatology healthcare providers (HCPs) from December 2021 to January 2022.

Results: In this survey, patients using SD treatment invested on average 34 min/d treating SD with 5.9 different treatments/week (cost: ∼$650/year). HCPs underestimated duration of SD treatment (16 min/d). Most patients agreed current treatment options are too time-consuming (61%), and would be more likely to continue a regimen with fewer treatments (88%). Few patients were 'very satisfied' with treatment option affordability (19%) and prescription treatment effectiveness (25%); only 8.7% of HCPs were satisfied with prescription SD treatment options available. Most patients acknowledged SD was difficult to treat (73%) and were interested in trying new treatments (87%). HCPs expressed the need for new treatments (92%) and agreed patients would be interested in trying them (95%). Patients prioritized symptom relief over look/feel of product and regimens that could be easily incorporated into hair routines. Patients would like HCPs to consider skin tone when recommending treatments (81%) and agreed cultural background affects treatment preference (55%).

Conclusions: These findings suggest a need for SD treatments that address patient concerns/frustrations with current time-intensive complex regimens, and consider diverse hair care routines/cultural backgrounds.

Background: Canola essential oil (CEO) contains linoleic and oleic fatty acids that can inhibit the growth of pathogenic micro-organisms and alter microbial digestion to increase ruminal fermentation and nutrient utilisation.

Objectives: The study evaluated the effect of supplementing a basal goat diet with incremental doses of CEO on chemical constituents and in vitro ruminal fermentation parameters and microbial diversity.

Methods: Experimental treatments were a basal goat diet containing 0.

Purpose: Medically tailored transitional foods (TFs) may be a clinically viable alternative to pureed consistency for individuals requiring texture-modified foods. However, little remains known about the performance of TFs during the swallow. The purpose of this investigation was to describe oropharyngeal swallowing physiology in patients with dysphagia during consumption of TFs as compared to pureed solids.

Intervention Techniques Targeting Echolalia: A Scoping Review.

Am J Speech Lang Pathol

School of Allied Health and Communicative Disorders, Northern Illinois University, DeKalb.

Purpose: Although echolalic speech is found in typical development, echolalia is most commonly associated with autism. As such, echolalia has frequently been the focus of various interventions aimed at autistic children. Recent research and the voices of autistic self-advocates indicate that echolalia serves as a meaningful form of communication or functionally supports self-regulation.

Historical studies performed nearly a century ago using mouse skin models identified two key steps in cancer evolution: initiation, a likely mutational event, and promotion, driven by inflammation and cell proliferation. Initiation was proposed to be permanent, with promotion as the critical rate-limiting step for cancer development. Here, we carried out whole genome sequencing to demonstrate that initiated cells with thousands of mutagen-induced mutations can persist for long periods and are not removed by cell competition or by immune intervention, thus mimicking the persistence of cells with cancer driver mutations in normal human tissues.

Objectives: Our study aimed to identify potential predictors for additional systemic involvement in patients with noninfectious uveitis, specifically focusing on their demographic, etiological, clinical, and laboratory data features from the pediatric rheumatology perspective.

Methods: Patients with noninfectious uveitis before the age of 18 years and followed up for at least 3 months in 2 tertiary centers of pediatric rheumatology and ophthalmology departments were included in the study. Demographics, etiology, clinical features, laboratory data, and treatments administered were evaluated and compared based on the etiology (idiopathic and systemic disease-related uveitis [SD-U]) and the use of biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs.
