(Press-News.org) (Toronto, March 12, 2024) JMIR Publications is pleased to announce a new theme issue titled “Diversity in Dermatology” in JMIR Dermatology. The premier, peer-reviewed journal is indexed in Sherpa Romeo, Scopus, DOAJ, CABI, and PubMed Central/PubMed and is the official journal of the International Society of Digital Health in Dermatology (ISDHD).
Diversity plays a significant role in dermatology, influencing various aspects of health care delivery in community health. Current research consistently highlights the advantages of diversity in the health care sector in patient outcomes and dermatological research. JMIR Dermatology places a special emphasis on exchanging clinical information, providing education, facilitating diagnosis and care, and promoting dermatological health globally.
Advantages of diversity in dermatology include improved patient outcomes, improved cultural competence and communication, enhanced innovation and problem-solving, and reduced health care disparities. Despite the advantages of diversity in dermatology, some challenges need to be addressed to leverage the strength of a diverse health care workforce and ensure equitable and effective service delivery for dermatology patients. Efforts toward fostering inclusivity, addressing unconscious and implicit biases, and promoting cultural competency are essential for dermatology patients and professionals alike.
This theme issue welcomes contributions from researchers and practitioners in dermatology, medicine, health care, computer science, and related fields. We are seeking original research papers, research letters, viewpoints, short papers, literature reviews, and case reports for this theme issue. Papers should explore research and clinical practice with a focus on diversity in dermatology and may also include:
Equity, diversity, inclusion, accessibility, and belonging
Improving and diversifying the representation of the dermatology workforce
Differences in skin health outcomes depending on race, ethnicity, sex, gender, religion, disability, geographic location, sexual orientation, or insurance status
All submissions will undergo a rigorous peer-review process, and accepted articles will be published as part of the “Diversity in Dermatology” theme issue.

A sprayable gel could make minimally invasive surgeries simpler and safer
2024-03-12
CAMBRIDGE, MA -- More than 20 million Americans undergo colonoscopy screenings every year, and in many of those cases, doctors end up removing polyps that are 2 cm or larger and require additional care. This procedure has greatly reduced the overall incidence of colon cancer, but not without complications, as patients may experience gastrointestinal bleeding both during and after the procedure.
In hopes of preventing those complications from occurring, researchers at MIT have developed a new gel, GastroShield, that can be sprayed onto the surgical sites through an endoscope. This gel forms a tough but flexible protective layer that ...
Scientists propose ten key components to foster climate-smart marine spatial planning globally
2024-03-12
New study identifies ten key components that will promote the development and implementation of sustainable, equitable, climate-smart ocean planning initiatives around the globe.
In a paper published March 12 in npj Ocean Sustainability, the researchers outlined guidelines to support marine managers and planners on how to develop climate-smart ocean plans and put them into action. Led by Catarina Frazão Santos, researcher and professor at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon (Ciências ULisboa) and honorary research associate at the University of Oxford, the team ...
UC Irvine study: vehicle brakes produce charged particles that may harm public health
2024-03-12
Irvine, Calif., March 12, 2024 — Scientists know relatively little about particles released into the air when a vehicle driver brakes, though evidence suggests those particles may be more harmful to health than particles exiting the tailpipe.
In a new study in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, University of California, Irvine researchers show how most of these particles emitted during light braking carry an electric charge – something that could potentially be ...

Gene flow in giraffes and what it means for their conservation
2024-03-12
Giraffes are a beautiful and powerful example of what adaptive evolution can achieve. However, in recent years they have attained notoriety for a completely different reason: it has been suggested that instead of one giraffe species, there might be no fewer than four different species. Such dramatic taxonomic reappraisals in highly conspicuous and well-known “flagship” taxa are very unusual. The suggestion caused some uproar in the scientific community and received a lot of media attention. Much is at stake, because the way that most nature conservation works is focused on species, meaning that each species must receive its own dedicated conservation action plan and must ...
Study reveals the role of the protein Kdm1a in maintaining neuronal identity
2024-03-12
Epigenetic processes allow different cell types to emerge from a single genome. Throughout development, cells differentiate and acquire distinct characteristics by expressing the same genome in different ways. However, a less-known aspect of this process is how cells maintain their unique identities over time. A study led by the Transcriptional and Epigenetic Mechanisms of Neuronal Plasticity laboratory, headed by Angel Barco at the Institute for Neurosciences, a joint center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the Miguel Hernández University (UMH) of Elche, has determined that the protein Kdm1a plays ...
UT Arlington grad student earns fellowship from atomic energy agency
2024-03-12
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has awarded a prestigious fellowship aimed at encouraging women to study nuclear-related subjects to a University of Texas at Arlington graduate student researching isotope hydrology.
Suprina Shrestha, a master’s student in earth and environmental sciences, received a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellowship (MSCF) from the IAEA. She studies tracer hydrology, which is the use of natural and artificial tracers to examine hydrological processes, under the mentorship of Ricardo Sanchez-Murillo, associate professor of ...
More than flying cars
2024-03-12
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory are taking cleaner transportation to the skies by creating and evaluating new batteries for airborne electric vehicles that take off and land vertically.
These aircraft, commonly called eVTOLs, range from delivery drones to urban air taxis. They are designed to rise into the air like a helicopter and fly using wing-borne lift like an airplane. Compared with helicopters, eVTOLs generally use more rotors spinning at a lower speed, making them both safer and quieter.

NIH scientists find weak points on Epstein-Barr virus
2024-03-12
WHAT:
Studies of interactions between two lab-generated monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and an essential Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) protein have uncovered targets that could be exploited in designing treatments and vaccines for this extremely common virus. The research was led by Jeffrey I. Cohen, M.D., and colleagues from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health. Study findings were published in the journal Immunity.
Approximately 95% of the world’s population is infected with EBV, which remains in the body permanently, typically ...
