Insights

Pediatric dermatology literature shows a greater focus on skin of color (SOC) topics than adult dermatology. This highlights pediatric dermatology

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Medical Literature Analysis
  • Pediatric Health

Background:

  • Recent efforts aim to increase skin of color (SOC) representation in dermatology textbooks.
  • Existing research on SOC representation in dermatology publications primarily focuses on adult populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the representation of skin of color (SOC) in pediatric dermatology literature published between 2013 and 2023.
  • To compare SOC representation in pediatric dermatology with that in adult dermatology.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of peer-reviewed dermatology publications from 2013 to 2023.
  • Quantitative analysis of article content focusing on skin of color topics within pediatric dermatology.

Main Results:

  • Pediatric dermatology constitutes a smaller portion of the total dermatology literature.
  • Pediatric dermatology literature consistently shows a higher proportional focus on skin of color (SOC) topics compared to adult dermatology.
  • This trend has been sustained over the 2013-2023 period.

Conclusions:

  • Pediatric dermatology demonstrates leadership in advancing diversity and representation of skin of color.
  • The consistent focus on SOC in pediatric dermatology sets a positive precedent for the broader field.
  • Further research may explore the specific factors contributing to this higher representation.

Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives01:14

Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

The first thing a clinician sees is the skin, so the examination of the skin should be part of any thorough physical examination. Most skin disorders are relatively benign, but a few, including melanomas, can be fatal if untreated. A couple of the more noticeable disorders, albinism and vitiligo, affect the appearance of the skin and its accessory organs.
Albinism
Albinism is a genetic disorder that affects (completely or partially) the coloring of skin, hair, and eyes. The defect is primarily...

Assessment of Airway, Skin Color, and Use of Accessory Muscles

A thorough assessment of respiratory health is paramount in clinical settings to identify and manage respiratory distress and ensure adequate oxygenation. This article elaborates on the critical aspects of respiratory evaluation, including airway assessment, skin color examination, and the observation of accessory muscle use, which are integral to effectively diagnosing and managing patients with respiratory conditions.
Introduction
The initial evaluation of a patient's respiratory system...

State Space Representation01:27

State Space Representation

The frequency-domain technique, commonly used in analyzing and designing feedback control systems, is effective for linear, time-invariant systems. However, it falls short when dealing with nonlinear, time-varying, and multiple-input multiple-output systems. The time-domain or state-space approach addresses these limitations by utilizing state variables to construct simultaneous, first-order differential equations, known as state equations, for an nth-order system.
Consider an RLC circuit, a...

Control Volume and System Representations01:16

Control Volume and System Representations

Two key frameworks are employed to analyze mass, energy, and momentum transfer: the control volume approach and the system approach. These frameworks offer different perspectives, depending on whether the focus is on a specific region in space (control volume approach) or a defined mass of fluid (system approach).
The control volume approach considers a stationary region in space through which fluid flows. This region is bounded by a control surface.  For instance, in the case of water...

Graphical Representation of Inequalities01:28

Graphical Representation of Inequalities

The graph of the equation where y equals x squared forms a curve known as a parabola. This curve acts as a boundary in the coordinate plane, dividing it into distinct regions based on the relative position of points.When the equality sign in the equation is replaced with an inequality—such as greater than, less than, greater than or equal to, or less than or equal to—the graphical representation changes from a single curve into a broader shaded area that signifies the set of all...

Color in Coordination Complexes
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
