Although such contributions are common in other graduate institutions, medical schools must be convinced about potential conflicts of interest and public opinion. We re-explore the benefits these kinds of gifts would afford for improved educational and research resources against the ethical dilemmas this kind of donation would present and concerns about public perception and actual conflict of interest. Using the principles of beneficence, nonmaleficence, autonomy, and distributive justice, we discuss the physicians' obligations and conceivable patient backlash that may ensue. Ultimately, we recognize the necessity for financial resources to support academic missions but contend that health care facilities and medical education must be equipped while ensuring a complete lack of bias in sponsorship.</p>","PeriodicalId":10358,"journal":{"name":"Clinics in dermatology","volume":" ","pages":"727-729"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141330506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Of the 24,147 patients, 13,081 (54.2%) had nail psoriasis. Patients with nail psoriasis had later onset of psoriasis (34.0 ± 16.6 years vs 32.9 ± 17.6 years, P < .001) and longer disease duration (11.4 ± 10.5 years vs 8.5 ± 9.4 years, P < .01), with a man-to-woman ratio of 1.2:1. They were more likely to have a family history of psoriasis, cardiometabolic diseases, smoking history, higher body mass index, severe disease, PsA, face and scalp involvement, and higher mean Dermatology Life Quality Index scores (9.36 ± 6.84 vs 8.87 ± 6.60). Systemic treatment and biologics were more commonly prescribed in this cohort (25.0% vs 13.2%, P < .001). Overall, 54.2% of the Malaysian Psoriasis Registry patients had nail involvement. Nail psoriasis was associated with longer duration of psoriasis, older age of onset, male sex, and a family history of psoriasis.
