Mashup Score: 1Increasing the Use of Total Body Skin Exam in Medicare Beneficiaries: Is This a Blessing or a Curse? - 1 month(s) ago
Author links open overlay panel Yin Li 1 2, Robert A. Swerlick 2 The investigators tracked TBSE use from 2009 through 2018 and observed stepwise increases in TBSEs, starting with 53% of Medicare FFS encounters in 2009. In the final year of queried Medicare data (2018), 73% of encounters included a TBSE. The researchers recognize the limitations of the model used to infer TBSE use. There is also substantial uncertainty regarding why patients received TBSEs, whether in response to specific skin cancer

Mashup Score: 5How Efforts to Understand Somatic Mosaicism Will Impact Dermatology - 2 month(s) ago
Author links open overlay panel Ryland D. Mortlock 1 2 3, Keith A. Choate 1 2 4 The skin harbors unique SNV signatures compared with other tissues. A higher proportion of somatic SNVs in skin are related to UV light exposure, and skin has a higher overall SNV burden than any other tissue. Damaging SNVs in genes related to skin cancer can be found in normal sun-exposed skin (Martincorena et al, 2015), and their proportion increases with age. In addition, the number of somatic SNVs and the specific signature

Mashup Score: 4Deciphering the Pathobiological Impairment Mechanisms of the Lymphatic System during Secondary Lymphedema Progression - 2 month(s) ago
Secondary lymphedema resulting from oncologic treatment presents one of the most frequent, however underestimated complications of oncologic surgery. It is nowadays a common understanding that the lymphatic insult presents the trigger of a number of reactions, leading eventually to lymphedema onset and progression. Importantly, though, the triggering lymphatic insult does not present the sole cause of lymphedema, as such would correspondingly imply a “stop-cork” mechanism upon the lymphatic Despite
