One of the many consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic was the cancelation of the 2020 American Academy of Dermatology Annual Meeting. This conference historically features lectures from world-renowned experts in all areas of dermatology, thus providing an important educational experience for dermatology residents. We hypothesized that the cancellation of this meeting produced a substantial educational loss for dermatology residents. To mitigate this impact, we developed a virtual faculty exchange program and surveyed dermatology residents' perspectives on its implementation. All participating residents found the virtual faculty exchange useful and would recommend it to other residents/programs. Moreover, all residents wanted to participate in more faculty exchange sessions as well as incorporate them throughout the academic year. Additionally, this educational program eliminated the potential cost of >$15,000 in flights and >24 metric tons of carbon emissions. This virtual faculty exchange program is a viable tool to enhance dermatology resident education in the COVID-19 era.In the United States access to healthcare continues to be a major issue. Although "top down" public policy approaches hold promise for expanding access, a lack of political consensus has hindered progress. A review of the literature was conducted to investigate the efficacy of clinical interventions aimed at expanding access to care from the "bottom up." The greatest improvements in access to care over the past decade have harnessed teledermatology, shared care, appointment scheduling strategies, and team-based care. Optimization of these approaches will require additional population-based, dermatology-specific research. It is clear that dermatologists, using a "bottom up approach," can significantly expand access to care in their communities in a manner that is economically viable and maintains quality of care and patient satisfaction.

We update and expand our 2010 article in this journal, Patient safety in dermatology A review of the literature [4][DH1].

PubMed at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), United States National Library of Medicine (NLM) was searched September 2019 for English language articles published between 2009 and 2019 concerning patient safety and medical error in dermatology. Potentially relevant articles and communications were critically evaluated by the authors with selected references from 2020 added to include specific topics medication errors, diagnostic errors including telemedicine, office-based surgery, wrong-site procedures, infections including COVID-19, falls, laser safety, scope of practice, and electronic health records.

Hospitals and clinics are adopting the methods of high-reliability organizations to identify and change ineffective practice patterns. Although systems issues are emphasized in patient safety, people are critically important to effective teamwork and leadership. Advancements in procedural and cosmetic dermatology, organizational and clinical guidelines, and the revolution in information technology and electronic health records have introduced new sources of potential error.

Despite the growing number of dermatologic patient safety studies, our review supports a continuing need for further studies and reports to reduce the number of preventable errors and provide optimal care.

She was treated with two sessions of endoscopic internal drainage using plastic double-pigtail stents. Her clinical evolution was favorable, but four months after the initial stent placement, she became symptomatic, and a gastrobronchial fistula with the proximal end of the stents invading the diaphragm was diagnosed. She was treated with antibiotics, plastic stents were removed, and a partially covered metallic esophageal stent was placed. Eleven weeks later, the esophageal stent was removed with no evidence of fistula. Inappropriate stent size, position, stenting duration, and persistence of low-grade inflammation could explain the patient's symptoms and provide a mechanism for gradual muscle rupture and fistula formation. Apoptosis activator Although endoscopic internal drainage is usually safe and effective for the management of post-laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy leaks, close clinical and radiological follow-up is mandatory.

The present study aimed to elucidate the clinical values of miR-337-3p, miR-484, miR-582, and miR-3677 in patients with osteosarcoma.

After extracting RNA from serum samples of healthy volunteers, OS patients, and periostitis patients, the real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) analysis was carried out. Afterwards, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) assays were conducted in order to identify the area under the curves of certain microRNAs in OS. Finally, the log-rank survival analysis was used to analyze the five-year survival rate and disease-free survival rate of OS patients with aberrant microRNA expressions.

From the results, miR-337-3p, miR-484, miR-582, and miR-3677 were remarkably decreased in OS cell lines, tumor tissues, and serum samples of OS patients. Furthermore, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis verified that serum miR-337-3p, miR-484, miR-582, miR-711 and miR-3677 had favorable diagnostic values for identifying OS from periostitis patients with the area under the curves of 0.9434, 0.8760, 0.717,0 and 0.8705 and from healthy volunteers with the area under the curves 0.8218, 0.8358, 0.8008, and 0.7141, respectively. After surgery, serum miR-337-3p, miR-484, miR-582, and miR-3677 were dramatically increased. Meanwhile, lower expressions of miR-337-3p, miR-484, miR-582 and miR-3677 were strongly correlated with clinical stage and metastasis. Last but not the least, the log-rank survival analysis demonstrated that lower expressions of miR-337-3p, miR-484, miR-582, and miR-3677 were related to unfavorable prognosis in OS patients.

Our study verified and illustrated the clinical values of miR-337-3p, miR-484, miR-582, and miR-3677 for the detection and prognosis of OS.
