Many uncertainties surround the definition, frequency, and significance of dysplastic nevi in children. Consequently the management of dysplastic nevi in the pediatric population has been largely derived from the studies of adults. Biopsies are usually performed on this young age group because of lesion change or abnormal appearance. One might therefore assume that the frequency of histologically diagnosed dysplastic nevi would be higher in children than in adults. We decided to attempt to verify this assumption by determining the frequency of dysplastic nevi diagnosed histologically in the pediatric population. To do this we reviewed 199 cutaneous pathology reports of nevi removed from patients less than 18 years old and submitted to a community-based dermatopathology laboratory. The diagnosis of dysplastic nevus was made based on histologic criteria recommended by the World Health Organization Melanoma Program. We found that 3 of 199 nevi submitted for histologic analysis met the histologic criteria for dysplastic nevus. There were no melanomas. Our data suggest that there is an extremely low frequency of histologically confirmed dysplastic nevi within the general pediatric population.
Objectives Pregnant women in the Bronx were at risk for travel-related Zika exposure in the Usa between 2016 and 2017. This qualitative study explored the experiences of 13 pregnant women to learn about their knowledge of Zika and prevention measures. Methods in the summer of 2017, pregnant women at risk of travel-related Zika exposure were interviewed in either spanish or english to learn about their experiences and transcripts were analysed using a grounded theory approach.
Checklists, huddles, and debriefs are tools being more commonly adopted in health care with the goal to achieve a safer health system. Details regarding what, how and when to implement these tools in different circumstances related to women’s health are described in this review.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
