On the Destruction and Humanitarianisation of the Health System in Gaza and the Need for a Biopolitical Bioethics

Bioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines Israel's destruction and ‘humanitarianisation’ of Palestinian health systems, arguing that this should be understood as an instance of ‘necropolitics,’ as conceived by Achille Mbembe. We review the extensive, long‐term destruction of health systems in Palestine before 7 October 2023 and the catastrophic acceleration of that

Multicentric Asynchronous Endocrine Mucin‐Producing Sweat Gland Carcinoma and Mucinous Carcinoma of the Skin

Journal of Cutaneous Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Endocrine mucin‐producing sweat gland carcinoma (EMPSGC) is an adnexal neoplasm which typically occurs on periorbital skin and demonstrates overlapping histopathologic features with primary mucinous carcinoma of the skin (MCS). Herein, we report a patient who developed five distinct lesions of EMPSGC and MCS over an eight‐year period, some of ...

Cognitive biases in Mohs micrographic surgery

Skin Health and Disease
Mohs surgeons' fallibility is an important topic to explore. There are no studies on the role of cognitive biases in heuristic decision‐making within Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) as a contributing factor in mistakes or errors of clinical judgement. We

Squamoid Eccrine Ductal Carcinoma: Case Series of a Rare, Potentially Aggressive Skin Cancer Associated With Immunosuppression

Journal of Cutaneous Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Squamoid Eccrine Ductal Carcinoma (SEDC) is a rare cutaneous adenexal carcinoma first described in 1997. It has distinct biphasic features on histology which commonly result in misdiagnosis as Bowen disease or cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (cSCC) if diagnostic skin biopsies are too superficial. This may lead to a delay in diagnosis. It is

Merkel Cell Carcinoma With Divergent Differentiation—Or Something Else? A Triphasic Cutaneous Carcinoma With Lineage Plasticity

Journal of Cutaneous Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare, aggressive cutaneous neuroendocrine carcinoma that typically arises in sun‐exposed skin of older or immunosuppressed patients. Combined or collision tumors involving MCC and other cutaneous malignancies are uncommon, and tumors exhibiting more than two distinct malignant phenotypes are exceptionally rare.

Depicting the Immunological Landscape of Basal Cell Carcinoma Subtypes

Journal of Cutaneous Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Anti‐PD‐1 response has been associated with higher PD‐1 ligand (PD‐L1) expression levels in different cancer types. Cemiplimab, an anti‐PD‐1 antibody, has been shown to induce a response rate of 31% and 22% in patients with locally advanced basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and metastatic BCC respectively, who have progressed or are ...
