Mashup Score: 10Use of hemostatic clips to reduce blood loss in between Mohs micrographic surgery stages - 10 day(s) ago
During Mohs micrographic surgery on the scalp, intraoperative hemostasis often requires the use of hemostats, figure-of-eight sutures, or electrosurgery. Hemostat and a figure-of-eight suture placement can be cumbersome in this location and pose difficulty in controlling diffuse bleeding,1 and electrosurgery can create a devitalized wound bed.

Mashup Score: 69Subcision modification to prevent intraoperative blood spillage and to keep the needle aligned - 12 day(s) ago
The traditional subcision is often associated with the spurting of blood from the needle hub and rotation of the beveled end of the needle. These issues lead to obscuring the operative field, the need for an assistant, increase procedure time, and rarely ineffective subcision. Various modifications like bending the needle, holding the needle with artery forceps, and marking the needle have been reported in the past to prevent the rotation of the needle.

Petrolatum, also known as petroleum jelly, is a widely used topical agent, with a variety of uses in dermatology. Despite its popularity, many myths surround this ubiquitous dermatologic staple. This review details the history of petrolatum and how it is manufactured as well as how its biologic properties make it a great moisturizer. Additionally, data on its potential for flammability, allergenicity, and comedogenicity are detailed, dispelling misconceptions about petrolatum use around oxygen and as a cause of acne.

Mashup Score: 7Noninvasive treatment of cutaneous neurofibromas (cNFs): Results of a randomized prospective, direct comparison of four methods - 20 day(s) ago
People with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) suffer disfigurement and pain when hundreds to thousands of cutaneous neurofibromas (cNFs) appear and grow throughout life. Surgical removal of cNFs under anesthesia is the only standard therapy, leaving surgical scars.

Mashup Score: 23Generalized pustular psoriasis: A consensus statement from the National Psoriasis Foundation - 24 day(s) ago
Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a serious, immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease with significant morbidity and mortality. Estimates of GPP prevalence vary between 1.8 and 124 per million people.1 GPP pathogenesis primarily involves abnormal activation of the interleukin (IL)-36 pathway of the innate immune system, with secondary contributions from the adaptive immune system. Through a validated Delphi method,2,3 32 physicians specializing in psoriatic diseases from the Medical Board of the National Psoriasis Foundation formulated the following consensus statements to guide clinicians, payors, and patients in GPP management.

Mashup Score: 38Modified linear closure with standing cone management: An alternative to the purse string suture - 28 day(s) ago
Compared to fusiform excisions, purse-string closures eliminate excision of extraneous tissue, with the resulting scar typically shorter than the original defect.1 However, purse-string closures rely on a single suture. Compromise of this suture results in dehiscence of the entire wound.

Authors in JAAD discuss a technique for standing cone management that combines the purse-string concept with a linear closure. This allows reinforcement from multiple sutures, which decreases risk of dehiscence, without excision of Burow’s triangles. ➡️ https://t.co/cgwSzvgBYX https://t.co/neaOOtiBm4
