How can dermatologists better understand—and improve—the lived experience of patients with vulvar disease?In this episode of JCMS Author Interviews, Dr. Kirk Barber speaks with Dr. Marlene Dytoc about her article, Evaluating the Impact of the Vulvar Quality of Life Index for New Patient Dermatology Assessments, in the Jan/Feb 2026 issue of the JCMS. Together, they explore how the Vulvar Quality of Life Index (VQLI) helps capture the often-overlooked burden of vulvar conditions and can strengthen communication between physicians and patients.The conversation also highlights the surprising impact of expert-led virtual support groups for patients with lichen sclerosus. Dr. Dytoc discusses how peer support, education, and structured quality-of-life assessments can improve patient confidence, satisfaction, and disease management—often after just a single session.Looking ahead, she shares new research examining diagnostic delays in lichen sclerosus and the factors that may contribute to missed or delayed diagnoses, including stigma, examination gaps, and limited awareness among both patients and clinicians.Dr. Barber and his guests do not receive any financial reimbursement for the production of this podcast.For more great CDA podcasts check out Dermalogues, our Residents podcast hosted by Dr Kerri Purdy.To learn more about the work of the Canadian Dermatology Association, please visit our website at dermatology.caThis podcast is produced by David McGuffin and Graham McGuffin of ExploreProductions.caGuest BioDr. Marlene Dytoc is a Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of Alberta and Medical Director of the University of Alberta's Vulvar Dermatology, Occupational Hand Eczema, and Psychodermatology Clinics.

Tammy has been an educator for the past 32 years, spending 31 of those years in the same classroom. She was Jason's teacher in the early 1990's and has taught a few of his children already with another on his way to middle school. Mrs. Marcum likes structure in the classroom and truly loves what she does for a living.

Her grandparents,friends,the local grocery,and church were all in walking distance of her house. She tells of her dad giving swimming lessons,playing in the woods, and the reason she was no good at hunting and fishing.

"Think about draping with everybody, especially younger females. Think a little bit about how you are moving that drape around, whether you need more than one drape, whether you have the patient move the drape. Just thinking about the patient adjusting their own clothing, it kind of makes sense from a dignity point of view."

Italian Dermatologist, Dr Simone Garcovich, joins Kirk to discuss what he learned from his detailed, four year, 870 patient study of pediatric HS that is featured in the March-April 2022 issue of the Journal of Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery.HS is uncommon in patients of pediatric age, and the differentiation with adult-onset disease is controversial. Treatment of pediatric hidradenitis suppurativa is scarcely standardized, and specific guidelines are lacking. As Kirk describes it, Dr. Garcovich's article "is a call to action for people to start thinking about this early."Early diagnosis is key, as is diet, weight and many other factors they discuss, along with use of biologics and surgery, in this fascinating conversation.Dr. Simone Garcovich is a dermatologist and faculty member at Catholic University of the Sacred Heart and Gemelli University Hospital in Rome, Italy.His co-authors are Luca Fania, Dante Caposiena, Giulia Giovanardi, Andrea Chiricozzi, Clara De Simone, Chiara Tartaglia, Davide Ciccone, Luca Bianchi, Damiano Abeni and Ketty Peris.The article is available free outside the paywall at the JCMS website for three weeks after this interview is posted:https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/12034754211039993For more on the work of the Canadian Dermatology Association, please visit our website at dermatology.caJCMS Author Interviews is produced by the CDA and David McGuffin of Explore Podcast Productions in Ottawa.Our theme music was composed by Lee Rosevere.

Dr John Arlette joins Kirk Barber to discuss his article, "Prevention and Management of Filler Induced Iatrogenic Stroke of the Eye," from the September/October edition of the Journal Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery. In this fascinating and important conversation, Kirk and John discuss the rare but potentially life altering instances of blindness caused by filler injections. In the past few decades, minimally-invasive esthetic treatments and the use of injectable Hyaluronic Acid Gels and other filling agents to treat facial esthetics have increased dramatically. Although extremely rare, a filler can cause ocular and orbital ischemia by retrograde flow from the ophthalmic artery when injected in any of the anastomoses of the face. Once filler reaches the central retinal artery, blindness is inevitable, and no treatment is effective. Kirk and John discuss what to do when faced with this rare incident, and the best ways to prevent it.Dr. Arlette is a dermatologist and clinical professor in the department of surgery, division of plastic surgery at the University of Calgary.Dr Arlette's co-author on this article is Dr Vivian Hill, professor of ophthalmology at the University of Calgary Medical School, along with Dr Michael Ashenhurst, and Dr Kailun Jiang.Be sure to check out the second part on this topic with Dr Arlette, based on his JCMS article, "Soft Tissue Filler Therapy and Informed Consent: A Canadian Review."

Bo Ruberg, “Trans Game Studies,” JCMS 61, no. 2 (Winter 2022): 200–205.
“Made of light and later sound, the film experience cannot be touched, but that does not mean it is immaterial.” So writes Dr. Caetlin Benson-Allott in her third academic monograph, The Stuff of Spectatorship: Material Cultures of Film and Television (University of California Press, April 2021). In The Stuff of Spectatorship, Dr. Benson-Allott turns away from that canonical concept of medium specificity to explore the nature of material specificity. How might the cinematic and televisual apparatus be expanded to incorporate the lost off-the-air recording, the decaying VHS tape, the mediocre branded Cabernet, and the eruption of violence at your local multiplex? It is not just what you watch, but how you watch, that makes meaning. This reframing not only has profound implications for how critics and fans enjoy their preferred media, while laying bare the racist and classist commitments at the heart of our shared material media cultures. In this discussion, Dr. Benson-Allott describes the origin of her latest project, details her decision to include herself as a character in the proceedings, and talks about her work as the editor at the disciplinary flagship, Journal of Cinema and Media Studies. Caetlin Benson-Allott is Professor of English and Film & Media Studies at Georgetown University. She is the author of The Stuff of Spectatorship: Material Cultures of Film and Television (University of California Press, 2021), Remote Control (Bloomsbury, 2015), and Killer Tapes and Shattered Screens: Video Spectatorship from VHS to File Sharing (University of California Press, 2013). She is also Editor of the Journal of Cinema and Media Studies (JCMS), the scholarly publication of the Society for Cinema and Media Studies, and writes a regular column on politics, platforms, and contemporary media for Film Quarterly. Annie Berke is the Film Editor at the Los Angeles Review of Books and author of Their Own Best Creations: Women Writers in Postwar Television (University of California Press, 2022). Her writing has been published in Public Books, Literary Hub, Feminist Media Histories, Ms., and Camera Obscura. Learn more about your ad choices.

Dr Raed Alhusayen joins Kirk Barber to discuss his article, "Overview of Ultrasound ImagingApplications in Dermatology," from the September/October edition of the Journal Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery. Currently, the most readily available technologies used by dermatologists include dermoscopy and photography. But ultrasound is emerging as a useful, non-invasive tool, which can help with early and more accurate diagnosis. In this fascinating conversation, Raed and Kirk talk about why complete visualization of lesions is critical for the accurate diagnosis and management of dermatological diseases, including Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS), connective tissue diseases like morphia, and in malignancy cancer screenings and surgical excisions.Dr Raed Alhusayen is assistant professor at the University of Toronto, an associate scientist at Sunnybrook Research Institute and past president of the Canadian HS Foundation.Dr. Alhusayen's co-authors on this article are: Nouf Almuhanna, Ximena Wortsman,Iris Wohlmuth-Wieser and Misaki Kinoshita-Ise.The article is available to read outside the paywall for 3 weeks on the JCMS website at this link:https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1203475421999326JCMS Author Interviews is produced by David McGuffin of Explore Podcast Productions in Ottawa.Our theme music was composed by Lee Rosevere.Be sure to also check out the CDA's Residents Podcast, Dermalogues, hosted by Dr Kerri Purdy.

This reframing not only has profound implications for how critics and fans enjoy their preferred media, while laying bare the racist and classist commitments at the heart of our shared material media cultures. In this discussion, Dr. Benson-Allott describes the origin of her latest project, details her decision to include herself as a character in the proceedings, and talks about her work as the editor at the disciplinary flagship, Journal of Cinema and Media Studies.
