Summary of your 'study carrel' ============================== This is a summary of your Distant Reader 'study carrel'. The Distant Reader harvested & cached your content into a collection/corpus. It then applied sets of natural language processing and text mining against the collection. The results of this process was reduced to a database file -- a 'study carrel'. The study carrel can then be queried, thus bringing light specific characteristics for your collection. These characteristics can help you summarize the collection as well as enumerate things you might want to investigate more closely. This report is a terse narrative report, and when processing is complete you will be linked to a more complete narrative report.

Together, these data suggest that COVID toes may be a 46 marker of patients that are able to mount a robust anti-viral immune response to SARS-CoV-2 and prognosticate a milder course of COVID-19. 6,7 Therefore, we hypothesize that pernio-like lesions, which can 81 occur with elevated Type I IFN signaling, are the result of a robust anti-viral response in patients with COVID-19, and, therefore, are associated with a favorable disease course, 83 as observed in these patients.

In spite of performing PCR tests for SARS-CoV-2 from the 42 content of the vesicles in only three patients, the results were all negative. Regarding vesicular rashes or varicella-like COVID-19 exanthems 3 , we previously 44 reported four cases in which we performed both PCR multiplex for herpesvirus and rt-45 PCR for SARS-CoV-2, directly from the content of the vesicles. This reasonably rules out a role of herpes 47 viruses 3 , and a potential infective ability of SARS-CoV-2 through the vesicles. In our current experience, the diagnosis of 55 herpesvirus infection in COVID-19 patients does not usually involve diagnostic doubts, 56 due to the clinical presentation and reported symptoms being typical of the disease, 57 even when lesions are extensive (Figure 1) . doi = 10.1016/j.jaad.2020.06.063 id = cord-322798-5r3kf9wa author = Freeman, Esther E. title = Creating Dermatology Guidelines for Covid-19: The Pitfalls of Applying Evidence Based Medicine to an Emerging Infectious Disease date = 2020-04-09 keywords = covid-19 summary = title: Creating Dermatology Guidelines for Covid-19: The Pitfalls of Applying Evidence Based Medicine to an Emerging Infectious Disease To the Editor: We recently co-authored a piece in the JAAD about modifications the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) implemented to enhance the rigor of evidence-based clinical practice guidelines. Due in part to these concerns, the AAD Covid-19 taskforce published interim guidance that did not distinguish among biologic classes. 4 In the face of uncertainty, societies including the American College of Cardiology took a stance to keep patients on ACE-inhibitors while they await more evidence. These changes to dermatology guidelines do not exist in a vacuum; important ethical implications include patient outcomes such as missed melanomas and the loss of employment for practice staff. We should acknowledge the shift from evidence based medicine to reliance on expert guidance, and appreciate the potential for guideline reversal. doi = 10.1016/j.jaad.2020.04.002 id = cord-301478-j4b2534p author = Gisondi, Paolo title = Risk of hospitalization and death from COVID-19 infection in patients with chronic plaque psoriasis receiving a biological treatment and renal transplanted recipients in maintenance immunosuppressive treatment date = 2020-04-21 keywords = Verona summary = key: cord-301478-j4b2534p title: Risk of hospitalization and death from COVID-19 infection in patients with chronic plaque psoriasis receiving a biological treatment and renal transplanted recipients in maintenance immunosuppressive treatment cord_uid: j4b2534p Manuscript words: 493 13 We performed a retrospective observational study in order to determine whether Hospital and compared to the Verona population (n=257,353) ( Table 1 ).

Under normal 63 circumstances, if a reasonable patient prefers antimalarials for skin disease, and the treatment 64 is indicated, then the drugs should be prescribed.

Prior to the pandemic, 32% of patients seen in person were older than 65 years and 7% of patients seen in person were non-English speaking, those defined as necessitating interpreter service (Table 1) . During the pandemic, 23% of patients seen in teledermatology were older than 65 years and 3% of patient seen in teledermatology were non-English speaking ( Table 1 ). The two most common diagnoses seen in teledermatology, other than a lesion of concern, were acne and dermatitis at 52% and 49% of total visits, respectively ( Table 2 ). Our study suggests that elderly patients and non-English speaking patients may be experiencing unequal access to teledermatology care during the pandemic.

Beneficence is at play as rotating through dermatology benefits medical students as it is an excellent way for students to learn more about the field and help them determine if dermatology is in fact the specialty they would like to pursue. Since the start of the pandemic, medical students rotating in dermatology have been temporarily sidelined as clinics have closed and are only seeing emergencies. With the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a risk that medical students may become infected themselves and subsequently infect their patients and fellow health care workers if allowed to participate in clinical rotations.

For us, the main contribution of the study by Marzano and colleagues is that, with all exanthems currently having a high positive predictive value for COVID-19, that of varicella-like rash is probably the highest since vesicular rash is more specific for viral disease than others 3 .

Furthermore, there is 58 evidence in both rhesus macaques and mice infected with the original SARS virus, SARS-CoV, that a 59 suboptimal early anti-viral type I interferon response may predispose to this late manifestation. In summary, we believe there is insufficient evidence to recommend that JAK inhibitors be continued in 70 all patients taking these medications who are acutely infected with SARS-CoV-2. While JAK inhibitors 71 may prove useful in the treatment of SARS-CoV-2-associated CRS, this is a separate consideration of a 72 relatively uncommon manifestation of this viral infection that occurs late in disease course. doi = 10.1016/j.jaad.2020.04.097 id = cord-309914-1lpl26eo author = Peterson, Danielle title = The use of Janus kinase inhibitors in the time of SARS-CoV-2 date = 2020-04-09 keywords = SARS summary = During the time of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, questions arise regarding patients being treated with 37 immunomodulatory therapies.

In their paper, Fernandez-Nieto et al repeatedly use the appellative "acro-ischemic" for this cutaneous manifestation. As the authors state, true ischemic lesions have been reported in severely-ill patients with proven coronavirus infection 3 . Although the comparison between acral lesions in asymptomatic patients and ischemic lesions in severe cases is important, we find the term "acute acro-ischemic lesions" not accurate. The term chilblain-like lesions, in our opinion, therefore would be preferable for the lesions that present in these patients rather than acro-ischemic lesions.

In response to the previous commentary, the goal of this letter is to expand and provide the latest information about COVID-19 along with considerations for addressing patient concerns surrounding dermatology-related immunomodulator/immunosuppressant use. Theoretical data from previous coronavirus outbreaks has suggested a strong role for type I interferon, B-cellereleased antibodies, tumor necrosis factor-, and other cytokines in the viral immune response (Fig 1) . Immunosuppressants decrease cytokines that recruit and differentiate immune cells needed to clear the infection.

This 23 more detailed analysis yielded similar findings to our meta-estimate of prescribing information 24 data (odds ratio 1.31, 95% Confidence Interval 1.05-1.62; Table 2 ). doi = 10.1016/j.jaad.2020.05.035 id = cord-346287-xg176mi7 author = Wan, Marilyn T. title = In response to: “Reply to Research Letter.” date = 2020-07-29 keywords = RTI summary = Letter to the Editor 1 2 To the Editor: We appreciate the interest of Rivera-Oyola, Koschitzky, and Lebwohl 1 in our 3 meta-estimate evaluating the risk of respiratory tract infections (RTIs) and symptoms in patients 4 2 The authors make a 5 cogent case for the importance of not cherry-picking data when evaluating drug safety by 6 selecting a few examples in which perhaps patients treated with IL-17 inhibitors have a lower 7 risk of RTIs compared to placebo. publication, 2 the results demonstrated a statistically significant 31-56% increased risk of RTI in 10 IL-17 targeting biologic treated patients compared to placebo.

Elevated ACE2 expression and detection of SARS-CoV-2 in the skin 4 of COVID-19 patients implied skin was a potential host of SARS-CoV-2. After IL-17 antibody treatment, the skin ACE2 expression was downregulated which meant IL-17 antibody could lower the risk of COVID-19 through lessening the cells which could interact with SARS-CoV-2. Additionally, IL-17 antibody could reverse the deteriorated barrier and inflammatory status in the skin of psoriasis patient which meant less microbe infection.Herein, the specific microbe could be SARS-CoV-2. Thus, whether IL-17 antibody could reduce the COVID-19 risk through reversing the inflammatory skin status with deteriorated barrier and preventing SARS-CoV-2 transmitting should be further discussed.

Allergic contact dermatitis was reported to the elastic straps, glue, and formaldehyde released from the mask fabric. Conclusions This systematic review from members of the American Contact Dermatitis Society highlights cases of occupational dermatitis to facial protective equipment including potential offending allergens. Personal protective equipment (PPE), including medical face masks, is essential to the safety of 29 healthcare workers (HCWs). 76 Two studies on HCWs not in epidemics or pandemics described facial contact dermatitis 6 and 77 facial skin concerns, some of which may have been related to masks.
