Background: Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder characterized by erythema, papules, ocular symptoms, and heightened sensitivity. Patients with neurogenic symptoms such as burning or stinging remain particularly difficult to manage. Current guidelines often underrepresent energy-based devices (EBDs), pigmentary sequelae, psychosocial burden, and ocular comorbidities. Objective: To examine Korean dermatologists’ expert perspectives on rosacea management, focusing on skin sensitivity, neurogenic symptoms, pigmentary changes, psychosocial impact, ocular involvement, and EBD use. Methods: A web-based, 29-item survey was administered to 25 board-certified Korean dermatologists (May–June 2025). Quantitative and qualitative responses were analyzed. Results: Erythematotelangiectatic and papulopustular phenotypes with sensitivity skin predominated. EBDs (pulsed dye laser, intense pulsed light) were frequently used but limited by cost and sensitivity issues. Neurogenic symptoms were recognized but rarely treated with neuromodulators. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation was infrequent, yet monitoring was inconsistent.Psychosocial and ocular aspects were acknowledged but seldomly systematically addressed.Respondents expressed interest in emerging adjunctive treatments such as cold plasma, skin boosters, and holistic care approaches. Conclusion Korean dermatologists adopt individualized strategies for rosacea, yet practice gaps remain regarding neurogenic symptoms, pigmentary complications, and psychosocial and ocular comorbidities. Findings support the need for updated multidisciplinary, phenotype-driven guidelines aligned with real-world practice.

Sensitive skin (SS) is increasingly recognized as a complex syndrome characterized by discomfort and heightened sensitivity to otherwise harmless stimuli, such as environmental changes, physical contact, and cosmetic products. This condition poses challenges in both diagnosis and treatment due to its variable presentation and subjective nature. The pathophysiological features of SS include neurogenic inflammation and small fiber neuropathy, largely driven by the hyperactivation of sensory nerves. This hyperactivation is closely associated with transient receptor potential (TRP) channels, particularly TRPV1, which contribute to the exaggerated sensory responses seen in SS. Furthermore, psychological factors like stress and anxiety, along with environmental stressors such as pollution and ultraviolet exposure, play significant roles in exacerbating symptoms. The diverse and individualized responses to stimuli make it difficult to establish standardized diagnostic criteria for SS, necessitating a combination of subjective diagnostic tools (e.g., the Sensitive Scale-10) and objective assessments (e.g., transepidermal water loss and lactic acid sting test) to accurately identify and assess SS. This paper provides a comprehensive review of SS, covering its definition, prevalence, pathogenesis, diagnostic challenges, and management strategies, and highlights the importance of personalized care in effectively managing SS and improving patient quality of life.

Purpose: Primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL) is a rare subtype of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.Radiation therapy (RT) has served as the primary treatment option for PMBCL; however, its role has been questioned with the advent of intensified immunochemotherapy. This study aimed to investigate the role of consolidative RT in the primary treatment of PMBCL. Methods: This single-center retrospective study analyzed the survival outcomes of 65 patients newly diagnosed with PMBCL. The patients were divided into three treatment groups: (1) EPOCH-R (etoposide, prednisone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and rituximab), (2) R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone), and (3) R-CHOP with consolidative RT. Results: The objective response and complete remission rates were 86.2% and 63.1%, respectively, with 3-year pro‑ gression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rates of 72% and 81%, respectively. All patients in the R-CHOP + RT group achieved an objective response with better PFS) than those who did not receive consolidative RT (p = 0.028), although there was no significant difference in OS (p = 0.102). Consolidative RT benefited patients with an initially bulky disease or insufficient end-of-treatment response. The predictive value of  18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose positronemission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) in assessing the treatment response in PMBCL was revali‑ dated, showing that patients who achieved negative end-of-treatment PET-CT had significantly better survival outcomes than others. Conclusions R-CHOP is a useful alternative regimen when intensified chemotherapy is not feasible. Consolidative RT should be considered in cases with an initially bulky disease and insufficient end-of-treatment response.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore customer perspectives of nursing services in tertiary hospitals. Methods: The data comprised mobile Voice Of Customer (VOC) data related to “nursing” or “nurses” generated from June 25, 2019, to December 31, 2022, in a tertiary hospital. A total of 44,727 VOC data points were collected, of which 4,040 were selected for the final analysis. Text network analysis and topic modeling were conducted using NetMiner 4.5.1. Results: Topic modeling identified five topics for positive aspects and four topics for areas requiring improvement.The positive aspects were: 1) sincere nursing care; 2) rapid response from professional medical staff; 3) teamwork for delivering customer-centric services; 4) provision and coordination of system-based healthcare services; and 5) customer-focused responsiveness. The areas requiring improvement were: 1) demand for skilled nursing care tailored to customer expectations; 2) demand for enhanced communication and reduced mechanical responses; 3) demand for appropriate handling of diverse situations; and 4) demand for overall improvements to the healthcare system, including reservation systems. Conclusion These results may be used to enhance customer and patient experiences in tertiary hospitals and are necessary for utilization from a hospital management perspective.
