In this first episode of the two part series, we revisit the EADV webinar series "Dermatology during a pandemic" and explore tips and updates on COVID-19. This episode covers skin manifestations, dermatosurgery, dermato-oncology and teledermatology in the times of Covid-19. Prof. Myrto Trakatelli, Chairperson of EADV School, gives an overview of the webinar series, whereas Dr. Elena Rossi, Dr. Christian Posch, Dr. Paola Pasquali and Dr. Cristina Galvan give an update on dermatology and COVID-19 in their respective fields of expertise.

Join us as we go through the JEADV Editor's Picks of January 2021:

(1.) Does pre-exposure prophylaxis increase the risk of acquiring sexually transmitted infections?

(2.) Anti-androgens in the treatment of severe COVID-19.

(3.) Screening for frailty in dermato-oncology.

(4.) ICU admission based on genetic variations (androgen receptor CAG length).

Prof. Dedee Murrell has worked with the EADV on numerous projects, most recently with her efforts working with a team of experts to publish the “Updated S2K guidelines on the management of pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus initiated by the EADV" in the JEADV. Given her profound experience with autoimmune blistering diseases, we take the opportunity to discuss how she balances her passion for research and practice while also creating and managing the Australasian Blistering Diseases Foundation (ABDF) with one of her research fellows.

Join us as we go through the JEADV Editor's Picks of December 2020:

(1.) Getting a grip on eczema.

(2.) The impact of Covid-19 lockdown on melanoma diagnosis and Breslow thickness.

(3.) Stigmatisation in psoriasis.

(4.) A case of scar sarcoidosis following a light-based treatment.

In this episode we discuss "The work-related skin diseases of Santa Claus," a letter published in the JEADV by Dr. Philippe Charlier and Dr. Nicolas Kluger. The authors jovially use the personage Santa Claus to explain potential diagnoses for patients who are exposed to harsh working environments (e.g. extreme climates, temperature changes, radiation exposure, sleep deprivation, and injury).

JEADV Associate Editor Prof. Lidia Rudnicka shares with us her pioneering work with dermoscopy in hair and scalp diseases, her insights on having an article accepted into a high-impact factor journal, her passion of social media, and advice to novice dermatologists ready to make a difference.

The field of dermatology covers a wide and ever-increasing range of topics in medical science, and researchers drive this expanse. Join us as Prof. Laurent Misery shares his research experience in pruritus, disease burden in hair and skin diseases, sensitive skin, and neuroimaging in dermatology.

Join us as we go through the JEADV Editor's Picks of November 2020: 

(1.) Dermatoscopic predictors of nodular melanoma. 

(2.) Targeting education for sun-sensitive individuals. 

(3.) What next for skin aging? Virtual biopsies.

(4.) Quantifying suffering in vulvar chronic inflammatory disorders.

When the SARS-CoV-2 virus struck Europe, Italy quickly became the epicenter of the spreading Pandemic. Resourceful dermatologists began noticing cutaneous manifestations; Prof. Paolo Gisondi was one of the first to publish these findings in the JEADV. Join us as we discuss his experiences.
