Ethiopia is one of the top ten countries with a high CL load, and Amhara National Regional State (ANRS) is one of the CL hotspot areas in the country. This study examined cutaneous leishmaniasis's epidemiology and clinical profiles in the ANRS region. It was conducted from April to October 2023 across eight Leishmaniasis Treatment Centres (LTCs). A data review was done from patients presenting to these centers between June 2018 and July 2023. Chi-square test and logistic regression were performed using SPSS-23. A total of 1729 patients with CL were recorded, resulting in an overall burden of 8.6 cases per 10,000 outpatients. Patients were from 112 districts, and most of them (71.1%) presented with localized cutaneous leishmaniasis (LCL). Approximately 12% of patients lived with the disease for over a year without treatment, while 13.2% of patients were multiple-time comers. Cutaneous leishmaniasis continues to be a significant public health issue in the ANRS region. Approximately onethird of CL patients exhibit the mucocutaneous leishmaniasis (MCL) clinical form. There has been a notable delay among CL patients in seeking diagnosis and treatment. It is essential to conduct large-scale community-based studies and studies focused on both traditional and modern treatment centers to accurately estimate the prevalence of CL in the region. Follow-up and molecular studies are crucial for enhancing our understanding of the clinical features of the disease. Furthermore, raising community awareness about CL prevention and control can help patients obtain early diagnosis and treatment.","PeriodicalId":11049,"journal":{"name":"Dermatology Reports","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11863562/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143255063","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To our knowledge, this is the first study conducted entirely in children (<14 years old). Case notes and photographic records of 16 pediatric patients with keloids treated with PDL at our center between 2012 and 2019 were reviewed. The red tone of the lesion before the first treatment, number of sessions, clinical improvement, and the evaluation of the satisfaction of patients have been reported. An excellent clearance has been achieved in 7 out of 16 (43.8%) cases, a good-moderate clearance in 7 patients (43.8%), and a slight clearance in 2 patients (12.4%). No patients detected absent or low results. A total of 13 out of 16 patients (81.2%) were satisfied. Lesions with higher red-tone grades could benefit from multiple treatment sessions. PDL is an effective treatment of keloids in the pediatric population, characterized by a good safety profile and high satisfaction. We observed good results treating the active remodeling lesions with a higher red tone. These data need to be confirmed with further studies in a larger set of pediatric patients.","PeriodicalId":11049,"journal":{"name":"Dermatology Reports","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143673346","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This observational case-control study evaluates the efficacy of combining traditional daylight photodynamic therapy (DL-PDT) with pre-treatment using 0.005% calcipotriol (CAL) ointment. Twenty immunocompetent male patients with grade I-II AKs on the scalp and/or face were randomized into two groups: the case group received a 14-day pre-treatment with CAL ointment before DL-PDT, while the control group used a moisturizing cream. Both groups underwent a series of three DL-PDT sessions. The study utilized the Actinic Keratosis Area Severity Index (AKASI) scoring system to measure the actinic damage at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months post-treatment. Results showed a significant reduction in AKASI scores in the CAL group compared to controls, indicating that CAL pretreatment enhances the efficacy of DL-PDT. This combination treatment was well tolerated, with minimal discomfort reported. The findings suggest that incorporating CAL into the treatment regimen can improve the clearance of AKs and potentially prevent their progression to SCCs.","PeriodicalId":11049,"journal":{"name":"Dermatology Reports","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11956547/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143656454","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Black dots corresponded to normal-sized follicular ostia filled with bright, homogeneous material and cadaverized hair. Exclamation mark hairs were short, dark dysmorphic hairs with different sizes of proximal and distal ends, and broken hairs were short dysmorphic hairs.

The objective of this study was to determine Canadian dermatologists' and dermatology residents' perspectives on teledermatology. An online survey was created to determine participants' teledermatology practice patterns and their perception of the challenges, education, training, and research in teledermatology. The survey was distributed through the Canadian Dermatology Association and by administrative staff at Canadian Dermatology departments. There were 33 respondents: 66.7% of respondents started using teledermatology during the COVID-19 pandemic, and 93.8% reported that teledermatology accounted for 0-25% of their practice. Convenience, access, and safety were identified as the primary advantages of teledermatology. Teledermatology was mainly utilized for medication monitoring or refills and to assess, manage, or follow up on dermatitis, other chronic inflammatory conditions, and pre-diagnosed dermatologic conditions. Poor photo quality (32.3%) and the inability to conduct physical examinations or accurately diagnose conditions (74.2%) were reported as significant challenges. Respondents recommended education on the medicolegal considerations of teledermatology and research on how teledermatology compares to in-person consultations. Overall, teledermatology offers convenience, access, and improved safety for patients and healthcare professionals. However, addressing challenges related to physical examinations, accurate diagnoses, and photo quality is essential for optimal care delivery.","PeriodicalId":11049,"journal":{"name":"Dermatology Reports","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143255058","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
