T he January and February issues of Skin & Aging are two of my favorites because that’s when we typically unveil our new departments for the year. Like the proverbial squirrel who gets to reap the rewards of hard work spent collecting and storing acorns, I look to the launching of new departments in much the same way. After spending months discussing, shaping and collecting these new gems from dermatologists in the field, it’s great to finally see the final version of these departments “in the flesh.” So I’m glad to peek around the corner to give you insight into two new departments we’ll introduce in the January issue: “Pharmacotherapy Update” and “Pediatric Patient Care.” Read on for some insight into these two new departments. Pharmacotherapy Update Beginning next month, Dr. James Q. Del Rosso will begin his periodic new department, “Pharmacotherapy Update.” Dr. Del Rosso, who is Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Dermatology at the University of Nevada School of Medicine, is also in practice at the Las Vegas Skin and Cancer Clinics. Dr. Del Rosso’s column will feature insights into new therapies with new or existing drugs in dermatology, and he’ll also feature data from promising clinical studies, whenever the data are relevant and have practical applications to practicing dermatologists. As a term of affection, I’ve dubbed Dr. Del Rosso the original Energizer Bunny. He just keeps going and going and going. I’m not sure that he really even sleeps. Those of you who regularly read Skin & Aging will recognize that Dr. Del Rosso has been an important, frequent contributor to the publication, and we’re glad to have him on board as a columnist for us. Pediatric patient care Next month, we also welcome two Canadian pediatric dermatologists to the pages of Skin & Aging. Both Drs. Pope and Weinstein are with the Division of Pediatric Medicine at The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Ontario. In addition, both Drs. Pope and Weinstein are Assistant Professors of Pediatrics at the University of Toronto. In their quarterly department, they’ll discuss challenging pediatric cases and quiz readers on how to efficiently diagnose and treat the patients affected by the conditions they’ll highlight. In their first column next month, they’ll focus on congenital melanocytic nevi. We’re looking forward to their contributions, eh? Larisa Hubbs Executive Editor lhubbs@hmpcommunications.com
