Photographic utilization in dermatology clinics in the United States: a survey of university-based dermatology residency programs.

BACKGROUND: Photography has recently been introduced as an adjunct to the clinical management of patients with the dysplastic nevus syndrome (DNS). OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to evaluate the methods used and the extent of clinical photography in dermatology residency programs in the United States. METHODS: Nonmilitary accredited dermatology residency programs in the United States were surveyed (73% response rate) regarding utilization and technical aspects of clinical photography. RESULTS: Forty-one percent of respondents used photography for the clinical management of 90% or more of patients with DNS. Twenty-four percent of respondents used photography for the clinical management of all patients with DNS. Eighty-one percent of respondents used slides, and 62% utilized total body photographs. The median number of photographs taken for a patient with DNS was 20. CONCLUSION: Dermatologic photography has been widely adopted for the clinical management of patients with DNS. Failure of the health insurance industry to recognize the value of this procedure may result in its underutilization.

Studies on cold insoluble globulin in dermatological patients. II. Its immunochemical quantitation in citrated plasma in a group of unselected dermatological inpatients.

Cold insoluble globulin (CIG) is the main non-clottable protein of heparin precipitable fraction from dermatological patients. CIG is a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of about 440 000. It is found on cell membranes on fibroblasts and is a normal protein of human plasma and serum. Levels of CIG in citrated plasma are sex- and age-dependent, but the origin and its physiological significance is unknown. In plasma of 294 dermatological patients, levels of CIG were elevated in eczema contactum allergicum (males and females 30-49 years), psoriatic arthritis (females 50 years and above) and were depressed in dermatitis herpetiformis (males 30-49 years).
