A Review on Articles in the Current Issue

Abstract

It is a great pleasure to introduce a new type of dermatological journal here. Clinical Research in Dermatology: Open Access (CRDOA) is a new international journal aimed to provide interesting and intriguing research in dermatology through free online open access.In this inaugural issue, we have some interesting scientific findings from Turkey, Australia, America, Taiwan, and Brazil. Cutaneous findings always provide an insight to the underlying systemic disease during in-patient dermatological consultation. Demir et al. [1] found most consultations were requested from Internal medicine and the patients over the age of 60 years. Drug eruption was the most frequent diagnosis, probably reflecting the in-patients taking lots of drugs when hospitalized. Over half of dermatologic diagnoses were incorrect by the nondermatologists, revealing the importance of dermatology branch in the hospital setting.
