A survey of reference accuracy in two Asian dermatologic journals (the Journal of Dermatology and the Korean Journal of Dermatology).

BACKGROUND: The reference list is an important part of a scientific article. To be useful, it must be accurate. METHODS: To evaluate the reference accuracy in the Journal of Dermatology and the Korean Journal of Dermatology, we randomly selected 100 references from each journal and checked them against the original articles. RESULTS: The overall rate of citation errors was 24% in the Journal of Dermatology and 33% in the Korean Journal of Dermatology. Errors in the title and author names were common, each occurring in about half of the citation errors. The overall rate of quotation errors was 14% in the Journal of Dermatology and 27% in the Korean Journal of Dermatology. CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that the rate of citation errors is unacceptably high in the Journal of Dermatology and the Korean Journal of Dermatology, which significantly diminishes the value of the reference list. We would strongly urge that the peer review of citation and quotation accuracy should be strengthened.

Patient personal injury litigation against dermatology residency programs in the United States, 1964-1988. Implications for future risk-management programs in dermatology and dermatologic surgery.

A national survey reviewing patient injury litigation against US dermatology residency programs revealed that 50% of the respondents had experienced at least one lawsuit between 1964 and 1988. The northeast region reported the most legal activity. Fifty percent of the lawsuits related to therapeutic or surgical complications. Plaintiffs were successful in 37.9% of the lawsuits. The mean award was $26,505, and the largest reported award of $200,000 was for failing to diagnose herpes simplex in an immunocompromised patient. In view of several recent trends in dermatology, the amount of litigation against dermatologists may increase.

[Dermatologic clinic of the Bad Cannstatt Hospital. Origin and development of clinical dermatology in Stuttgart].

In 1837, Germany's first in-patient dermatological department named "Heilanstalt für Flechtenkranke" was founded by Dr. Albert Friedrich Veiel in the city of Cannstatt (which since 1905 is part of Stuttgart). Later his son, Dr. Theodor Veiel, directed this private dermatological clinic, and became head of the district hospital of Cannstatt in 1881. Although he was active in many areas of medicine, dermatology was his main interest. He very much influenced the development of dermatology during his period as president of the German Dermatology Association until his death in 1923. In 1935, the first dermatological city hospital was established in Cannstatt/Stuttgart. But, after World War II, all the medical facilities were taken over by the US Army. Thus, medical activities including dermatology had to be spread all over Stuttgart, until in 1965 they were returned to their former place. At the end of 1998, the large abandoned US army hospital will home a totally renovated and modernized Stuttgart dermatology hospital.

DERM/MIS update. The Dermatology Management and Information System of the American Academy of Dermatology.

The Dermatology Management and Information System (DERM/MIS) was created by the Task Force on Biomedical Communications of the American Academy of Dermatology. The concept of such a System was conceived as part of the National Program for Dermatology and has been actively pursued since. The purpose of this report is to review the current status of DERM/OMS (Dermatology Office Management System); DERM/LIT (Dermatology Literature); DERM/RX (Dermatology treatment); DERM/DDX (Dermatology Differential Diagnosis); DERM/PATH (Dermatopathology). Other components of the DERM/MIS system are currently being planned. Predictions indicate that by the end of this decade a substantial percent of dermatologic offices will have access to some form of computerized programs. The DERM/MIS system has been designed specifically to meet the needs of the practicing dermatologist in the office setting.

International Foundation for Dermatology. A challenge to meet the dermatologic needs of developing countries.

The primary goal of the IFD, which serves under the aegis of the International Committee of Dermatology (the governing body of the International League of Dermatological Societies), is to improve dermatology and dermatologic care in rural areas and developing countries. The principal mission of the IFD is to create regional dermatology training centers in geographic areas of greatest need. The first such center, serving the 12 countries of the African Regional Health Community, is located in Moshi, Tanzania. After successfully completing a 2-year course, the emerging dermatology officers will return to their countries of origin to promulgate the information they have learned by teaching others. The second RDTC is located in Chimaltenango, Guatemala to serve 10 countries in the Caribbean basin by training auxiliary nurses to man health posts in rural areas in this region. All dermatologists in the developed world should view their responsibility to their profession and to those suffering from dermatologic diseases in developing countries as a challenge that can be met if we all labor together to ensure a better world for those who currently have minimal or no dermatologic care. Remember: Give a man a fish and you feed him for one day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for life!

[Psychosomatic dermatology in Germany: a survey of 69 dermatologic clinics].

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: A questionnaire study of German dermatological clinics was designed to show the situation and development of psychosomatic dermatology 10 years after a similar study. PATIENTS/METHODS: A questionnaire was sent to 170 dermatological clinics. 76 were send back; 69 of them (40.6%) were evaluable. The questionnaires were mostly answered by the heads of the dermatological clinics (38/69 = 55.1%). RESULTS: Nearly 85% of the dermatological clinics answered that they take psychosomatic aspects into consideration in the therapy. 5.1% of the dermatologists working in clinics have additional psychotherapeutic certification. The improvement of coping behaviour seems to be the main goal of psychosomatic interventions. The importance of psychic factors increased in the last 10 years in comparison to a former study in regard to most of the dermatological diseases. CONCLUSIONS: Psychosomatic aspects seem to be an obligatory part of inpatient dermatological therapy. The frequency of some diseases was underestimated in comparison with results from literature.

Continuing education in pediatric dermatology: the role of pediatric and dermatologic journals.

To summarize the quantity, quality, and subject matter of articles pertaining to pediatric dermatology in current pediatric and dermatologic journals, 2,010 articles published in 1981 in 9 clinical journals were reviewed. Of articles in the pediatric journals, 4% had a primary dermatologic focus, and another 6% had a secondary dermatologic focus. Of the clinical articles in the dermatologic journals, 15% concerned only pediatric patients, and an additional 18% involved both pediatric and adult patients. The great majority of pediatric (65%) and dermatologic (83%) articles concerning pediatric dermatology were case reports, with lesser proportions of research reports and review articles. There was a relative scarcity of prospective clinical studies describing either the natural course of pediatric skin diseases or the effects of various therapies upon these diseases. Frequent topics of articles in both types of specialty journals included cutaneous manifestations of systemic disease, hereditary skin disorders, and bacterial skin infections. It is hoped that interest in this important field will promote mutually beneficial collaboration between pediatricians and dermatologists in the areas of patient care and clinical research.

The changing status of inpatient dermatology at American academic dermatology programs.

BACKGROUND: Changes in health care delivery financing such as the adoption of the diagnosis-related groups (DRG) in 1983 has affected inpatient services of dermatology programs across the United States. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to define the present status of inpatient dermatology at academic medical centers compared with 1982. METHODS: Questionnaires inquiring about the state of inpatient service were sent to the chairpersons of each dermatology residency program in the United States. RESULTS: Of the 71 programs responding, 79% reported a reduction in inpatient activity. Nearly half of the dermatology programs with dedicated dermatology beds in 1982 reported not continuing to have these in 1997 (41 to 24). The average number of patients admitted for skin disease decreased from 1 19 in 1982 to 36.5 in 1997, and the average daily census decreased from 8.9 to 2.2. CONCLUSION: There has been a decline in the number of patients hospitalized by academic dermatology departments and a shift of some patients hospitalized to beds where the attending is other than a dermatologist.
