In this episode of Derms and Conditions, host James Q. Del Rosso, DO, is joined by Diego Ruiz DaSilva, MD, dermatologist at Forefront Dermatology and assistant professor at Eastern Virginia Medical School. Together, they discuss Dr DaSilva's recent publications and his journey in building a collaborative research career focused on real-world clinical insights.  To begin, Dr DaSilva shares the inspiration behind his recent publication that evaluated oral JAK inhibitors in elderly patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis. Motivated by the positive feedback from older patients and the perception that JAKs are underutilized due to safety concerns, he conducted a multicenter retrospective study that found strong efficacy and a reassuring safety profile in patients aged 65 to 96. Next, the discussion turns to nemolizumab, an IL-31 receptor antagonist recently approved for prurigo nodularis and atopic dermatitis. Dr DaSilva highlights a patient case that prompted a broader series: a patient with cancer experiencing recalcitrant itch who saw complete resolution within days of starting nemolizumab. Across 10 cases, 8 showed a rapid and marked itch response, with no adverse events or ocular surface issues. Finally, they review a case report on palmoplantar psoriasis treated with topical roflumilast 0.3% cream. Used initially as a bridge to systemic therapy, the patient achieved unexpectedly robust results with the topical alone, avoiding the need for a biologic. Dr DaSilva notes the importance of keeping nonsteroidal topicals in mind, especially for steroid-sparing strategies. Tune in to the full episode for more real-world data and case-based insights to help manage complex dermatologic conditions.

When a patient is going through an allergic flare, we focus on making the pet comfortable which is absolutely reasonable! However, we have to think of the prevention of future flares and frustration for that case. It is important for us to adjust our mindset once relief has been established and think of the long-term plan for that pet. Each plan can be unique depending on the case presentation, client's goals, etc. Check out this week's episode of The Derm Vet podcast where I discuss shifting to this mindset with ease including a recent cat case I had to go through a treatment adjustment.TIMESTAMPS00:00 Intro02:21 A common scenario that I see at the clinic06:43 Laying the foundation down for the pet to succeed11:16 Cat case with really bad pyoderma13:12 Considering allergy testing15:01 Outro

Welcome to the Choosing Wisely Campaign series! This is the third episode of a 6-part series exploring the ABIM Foundation's Choosing Wisely Lists. This campaign aims to promote conversations between clinicians and patients to avoid unnecessary medical tests, treatments, and procedures. Our second case-based episode presents an infant with diarrhea and diaper dermatitis. After a clear discussion of the case and thoughtful consideration of the etiology and treatment strategies, we use the AAP's Choosing Wisely dermatology and gastroenterology, hepatology, and nutrition lists to create a resource-conscious care plan that is safe and patient-centered. In the coming episodes, we'll explore the pediatric lists and apply our knowledge to cases of common presentations seen in primary and acute care pediatrics.    Series Learning Objectives: Introduction to the Choosing Wisely Campaign: Understand the origins, historical precedent, and primary goals of the campaign. Case-Based Applications: Explore five common presentations in primary and acute care pediatrics, applying concepts from various Choosing Wisely lists to guide management and resource stewardship. Effective Communication: Learn strategies for engaging in tough conversations with parents and colleagues to create allies and ensure evidence-based practices are followed.

From collagen powders to $100 creams, the skincare industry thrives on promises. However, many of the products we rely on for younger, healthier skin are built on shaky evidence. In this episode, world-renowned dermatologist Professor John McGrath breaks down what's real and what's not. We explore how skin truly ages, what happens beneath the surface, and why some popular treatments don't do what they claim. John dismantles three of the biggest myths in skincare, including the truth about SPF, collagen, and “bio-active” ingredients that never make it past the top layer of your skin. Professor McGrath is a Professor of Molecular Dermatology at King's College London and editor of the British Journal of Dermatology. His research has transformed how we understand genetic skin disorders and vitamin D's role in skin health. This conversation is packed with surprising insights - and one daily step that really does support healthier skin as you age.
