Dental curettes: useful tools for obtaining nail material for mycologic examination.
Obtaining material, especially subungually, from suspected onychomycotic nails can be difficult and/or traumatic with instrumentation frequently utilized by dermatologists. Use of scalpel blades and standard dermal curettes is often awkward and/or traumatic to the nail bed. Large clippings require micronization with a nail mill or tedious processing with less specialized instruments prior to microscopic examination (potassium hydroxide preparation) and fungal culture. A mycologist at our institution has efficaciously utilized dental curettes to obtain powdery subungual material suitable for immediate mycological assessment. This nontraumatic technique is becoming increasingly popular among clinicians.

Total-body photographs of dysplastic nevi.
A method of taking total-body photographs to document dysplastic nevi is described. A set of 24 views is taken. These 35-mm color slide transparencies are projected onto a rearview screen at the time of subsequent follow-up examinations. A comparison between the baseline photographs and the current clinical findings allows the physician to detect thin malignant melanomas in a curable stage.
