EADV Podcast

Early detection of skin cancer is still a major challenge in dermatology practice today. While surveillance programs are offered to high-risk patients, systematic total-body examination in the general population is not cost-effective. Lesion-directed screening may be a way to optimise skin cancer detection in the general population and use available time as efficient as possible in daily dermatology practice.  Prof. Jan Gutermuth explores this topic with Prof. Lieve Brochez. 

The research discussed in this webcast can be found in the JEADV here:

We have a vast amount of research about the impact of UVB, UVA, visible light and infrared radiation on skin and subsequent dermatoses. We also have extensive information and research on how to mitigate risk from sun exposure. Yet, how do we communicate this to a public that doesn't often look much beyond the SPF number on a bottle of sunblock? Dr Elena Rossi explores this topic with Prof. Thierry Passeron to delve deeper into the proper habits that dermatologists, and really everyone, should know.

In a digital world, are you ready to adjust, evolve and stay ahead of the curve when it comes to offering a state-of-the-art experience to your patients and improving their quality of life? Digitalization has made tremendous progress during the COVID pandemic; it is here to stay and its impact is already visible on (tele)dermatology. Join today’s discussion between Prof. Jan Gutermuth (University of Brussels) and Mr. Maicher (Global Partner & Director of Allianz Global Strategic Partnerships) to get an insight on the recent healthcare system shifts, learn more about digital platforms and related virtual services, not to mention the importance of building strategic partnerships.

This week Dr Fiona Lewis discusses common inflammatory dermatoses that affect the vulva. She brings practical clinical experience focusing on diagnosis and basic management of these conditions.

How can we bring our research data back to the benefit of our patients? Prof. Lajos Kemény, one of the most respected scientists in Hungary and a JEADV Section Editor, says this has always been the question at the heart of his clinical and research activities. Tune into this information-packed episode as Prof. Kemény shares with us his wide-ranging expertise on acral lentiginous melanoma, the application of the xenon chloride excimer laser technology for treatment of vitiligo, and the new therapeutic advances in treatment of atopic dermatitis and psoriasis.

As dermatologists we are often confronted with patients with a non-healing leg ulcers. This may well be caused by venous insufficiency. In this podcast Audrey Meulendijks, author of "A systematic review on risk factors in developing a first-time Venous Leg Ulcer" is interviewed by EADV Education Committee member Bibi van Montfrans. Since risk factors for venous ulcers are also associated with lifestyle, we discuss the extent to which dermatologists should be engaged in lifestyle changes: a question that is relevant also for other dermatological diseases. In addition, the importance of providing more adequate information to our patients about the why and how of our treatments is underscored.

This week Dr Paola Pasquali catches up with Prof. Salvador Gonzalez-Rodriguez. Considered one of the “fathers” of Reflectance Confocal Microscopy, Prof. Gonzalez speaks about the role of RCM in the universe of non-invasive imaging techniques. He also speaks about the most common uses in dermatology, its sensitivity for diagnosing malignancies and the learning curve for this procedure, and explains the potential uses in teledermatology and the future hand-held prototype.
