    Public interest in dermatologic symptoms, conditions, treatments, and procedures during the COVID-19 pandemic: Insights from Google Trends
    (WILEY, 2021-03) SALMAN, ANDAÇ; Esen-Salman, Kubra; Akin-cakici, Ozlem; Kardes, Sinan; Salman, Andac
    Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic had substantial effect both on daily life and medical practice. Internet data have been used to analyze the trends in public interest in various medical conditions and treatments. The aim of this study is to analyze the public interest in dermatologic symptoms, conditions, treatments, and procedures during the COVID-19 pandemic. Google Trends was queried for a total of 120 dermatological search queries. Three periods of 2020 ([March 15-May 9], [May 10-July 4], and [July 5-October 31]) were compared with the previous 4 years (2016-2019). A significantly decreased interest in skin cancers and certain dermatologic conditions (eg, pityriasis rosea and scabies) was observed throughout the study period. Whereas a significant increase of interest in dry skin, hair shedding, oily hair, atopic dermatitis, and hand eczema was detected during the study. An initial decrease in interest was followed by a significant increase for acne, comedones, melasma, rosacea, botox, dermaroller, and peeling. The study demonstrated a significant impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the public interest in dermatology. The present results would help to create healthcare policies and information sources, which can meet the public demand. The reasons for the observed trends and their effect on patient outcomes might be of interest for future studies.

    Being an academic dermatologist in Turkey: Young academic dermatologists' perspectives on dermatology
    (DERI ZUHREVI HASTALIKLAR DERNEGI, 2021-03-26) SALMAN, ANDAÇ; Solak, Sezgi Sarikaya; Salman, Andac
    Background and Design: This study aims to examine the characteristics of young Turkish academic dermatologists and identify the positive and negative aspects of being an academic dermatologist from their perspectives. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional, electronic questionnaire was mailed to dermatologsts who work as an assistant professor or faculty member of dermatology in a university or training and research hospital in Turkey. The questions were prepared to evaluate views of young academic dermatologsts on academic dermatology. Results: A total of 37 assistant professors and faculty members of dermatology responded to the survey. The top three reasons for pursuing an academic career and the most satisfying and pleasing aspects of academic life were the opportunity to teach, do research, and deal with complex diseases. Compensation was the least frequently (5.4%) chosen reason to pursue an academic life. Insufficient time (70.3%) was stated to be the most challenging aspect of research activities. The most cited issues respondents stated that they needed support or education were data analysis (78.4%) and training abroad (67.6%). Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first study to evaluate academic dermatology in Turkey. We believe that the present study results provide insight into academic dermatology and might help increase the awareness of the dermatology residents who pursue an academic career.
