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.

Dermatology residency program characteristics that correlate with graduates selecting an academic dermatology career.

OBJECTIVE: To examine the characteristics of 107 dermatology residency programs to determine which factors are correlated with producing academic dermatologists to help reverse the trend of a growing shortage of academic dermatologists. DESIGN: We collected data ranging from total publications to grant funding. Extensive Internet searches were completed to obtain most of the data. Individual programs were contacted as needed to obtain any missing data that were not found on the program's Web site. SETTING: Dermatology residency programs (departments and divisions) in the United States. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Factors that correlated with producing full-time academic dermatologists. RESULTS: We tabulated and analyzed characteristics of 107 dermatology residency programs. Total full-time faculty members in 2004, total publications in 2004, and total publications from January 1, 2001, to December 31, 2004, were the 3 factors most strongly correlated with producing full-time faculty. National Institutes of Health and Dermatology Foundation grants and American Skin Association grant recipients were the 3 characteristics most strongly inversely correlated with producing full-time faculty. Those who entered academic dermatology tended to stay at the same program where they completed a dermatology residency, especially if this program was considered a "smaller" program. CONCLUSIONS: The programs' characteristics of total publications in 2004 and from 2001 to 2004 were 2 of the 3 factors most strongly positively correlated with dermatology residents entering academic dermatology. Encouraging residents to publish may be a window to motivate them toward a career in academic dermatology.

Osteopathic medicine and the practice of dermatology: history and current status. An overview of the American Osteopathic College of Dermatology, an affiliate specialty college of the American Osteopathic Association.

As the unified training body for osteopathic physicians specializing in dermatology, the American Osteopathic College of Dermatology (AOCD) sponsors 18 dermatology residency programs that integrate academic training (focusing on the core of basic medical sciences) with clinical instruction (emphasizing specialized diagnostic and laboratory techniques and the high-level performance of all dermatologic and surgical procedures) to engender the ability to provide superior, specialized dermatologic care. The board of directors of the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) recommended passage of a bylaws amendment establishing a category of osteopathic fellow for those osteopathic physicians who are certified by the American Osteopathic Board of Dermatology; however, the AAD membership failed to adopt the amendment by the required two-thirds majority. Constitutional bylaws of both societies stress the importance of the goal of unification and representation of the specialty of dermatology. Continued rapprochement appears to be in the best interest of the AAD and AOCD and may well enhance our efforts to deal with the challenges that face dermatology and medical practice in the 21st century.

[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!
