The Safety And Efficacy Of Spironolactone Versus Oral Antibiotics For Moderate-Severe Acne In Post-Adolescent Females, Bhav Patel

Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies Capstone Presentations (Center City)

Introduction

• Acne is a common skin condition when the pores are clogged by particles like dead skin or oil, affecting approximately 50 million individuals in the U.S.¹
• Over a third of females experience moderate-severe forms that persist into adulthood and that number seems to be on the rise³
• Persistent moderate-severe acne often requires systemic medications and oral antibiotics are the most frequently prescribed therapy²
• Dermatologists prescribe more antibiotics per provider than any other specialty, and often for longer durations than recommended²
• The inappropriate use of oral antibiotics is contributing to bacterial resistance and disruption of the …

The Impact Of Intralesional 5-Fluorouracil In The Treatment Of Keloid Scars, Madeline Derham

Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies Capstone Presentations (Center City)

Background

- The American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) defines a keloid scar as a type of raised scar extending past the initial area of injury¹

- Approximately 10% of the general population affected - significant risk factors include +family history, darker skin tones, mechanism of injury (burn, surgical)³

- Symptom presentation: pain, pruritus, burning, increased sensitivity³

- Varying existing treatment methods with high resistance and recurrence rates leading to no agreed upon standard approach⁵

• Most widely adopted method currently : intralesional (ILS) steroid ^injection5

Presentations Of Tumor Recurrence Of Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer After Treatment With Low-Energy Superficial Radiation Therapy, Marshall Hall, Henry Lim, Christian Scheufele, Christopher M. Wong, Daniel A. Nguyen, Michael Carletti, Stephen Weis

North Texas GME Research Forum 2023

Background: Basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma are the most common types of non-melanoma skin cancers.1 Superficial radiation therapy (SRT) is a treatment modality that utilizes low-energy x-rays to disrupt cell mitosis.2 While this technique has been used for over a century, it has recently gained favor in clinical practice.3,4 This method of treatment offers favorable outcomes and advantages for select patients. Although the incidence of cancer recurrence after superficial radiation therapy is low, relatively little is known regarding predictive patterns. The frequency and timing of cancer recurrence is not well defined using SRT delivered technology with an image-guided …

Retrospective Review Of Adverse Events Following Treatment Of Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer With Low-Energy Superficial Radiation Therapy, Marshall Hall, Henry Lim, Christian Scheufele, Christopher Wong, Daniel A. Nguyen, Michael Carletti, Stephen Weis

North Texas GME Research Forum 2023

Background: Basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma are the most common types of non-melanoma skin cancer.1 Superficial radiation therapy (SRT) is a treatment modality that utilizes low-energy x-rays to disrupt cell mitosis directly and indirectly.2 This method of treatment offers advantages for select patients. While this technique has been utilized for over a century, it has recently begun to gain favor in clinical practice.1,3 Although SRT has shown favorable outcomes with a low risk of complications, it still poses a risk for adverse events.1,3,4 The frequency and severity of adverse events are not well-defined with SRT delivered technology with …

Lesion Size Inclusion On Dermatopathology Requisition Forms: A Quality Improvement Project, Christopher M. Wong, Henry Lim, Christian Scheufele, Daniel A. Nguyen, Ashleigh E. Hermann, Michael Carletti, Stephen Weis

North Texas GME Research Forum 2023

Introduction: Dermatopathology requisition forms (RFs) are a critical communication tool between dermatologists and dermatopathologists. Including detailed information on RFs improves the diagnostic accuracy of the consulting dermatopathologist. However, the diameter of the biopsied lesion is often omitted on RFs. This study aimed to increase the rate of reporting lesion diameters on RFs from an academic outpatient dermatology clinic to greater than 65% through education, reinforcement, and evaluation. Methods: This quality improvement project retrospectively and prospectively analyzed the inclusion rate of lesion diameters on dermatopathology RFs from a single institution. In Phase 1, data was collected from all skin biopsies performed …

An Innovative Model For Graduate Medical Education Faculty Development Through Physician In Training Delivery, Daniel A. Nguyen, Christopher Wong, Christian Scheufele, Michael Carletti, Stephen Weis

North Texas GME Research Forum 2023

BACKGROUND/INTRODUCTION: Faculty development is an important component for ACGME accreditation of residency programs. 1-3 There are multiple strategies for faculty development with methods including workshops, lunch-ins, and online modules. 10-12 Having successful approaches to develop faculty has lead to self-reported improvement in teaching and clinical skills, intrapersonal and interpersonal growth with faculty given more positive ratings by learners. 8,9 Beyond the individual faculty, there can be system wide cultural shifts supportive of scholarly teaching. 10 Delivering content that is convenient and valuable to the faculty can be challenging. 3,4 If resident physicians can deliver effective convenient faculty development programs then …

Forum Discussion Indicates Favorable Views Of Jak Inhibitors For Atopic Dermatitis, Nicole Levin, Karan Rajalingam, Ashley Wentworth, Leila Tolaymat

East Florida Division GME Research Day 2023

Background: There is increasing discussion online concerning the management of atopic dermatitis (AD). Patients often document their subjective experience of a given treatment. It remains to be determined if the experiences vary based on treatment or align with efficacy.

Objective: To determine which treatments are associated with positive or negative experiences.

Methods: The largest online AD platform was searched for posts that only discussed a singular treatment. The discovered 28,159 posts were rated “positive” or “negative” by DistilBERT, a pre-trained sentiment analysis model that derives from BookCorpus, a collection of 11,038 books containing 74 million sentences. Positive sentiment proportions (PSP), …
