Assessment of frequency, transmission, and genitourinary complications of enterobiasis (pinworms)
TLDR
This work has shown thatPinworms are a common helminth infection in the USA and Western Europe and have been noted in over one‐quarter of acute appendectomies on histologic examination.

Safety and efficacy of pediculicides for head lice
TLDR
Assessment of topical lice therapies requires standardised in vitro testing and, based on concerns about safety and decreasing efficacy due to resistance, a reassessment of the general topic of pediculicides for head lice is warranted.

Relationship of treatment-resistant head lice to the safety and efficacy of pediculicides.
TLDR
The safety and efficacy of commonly used over-the-counter and prescription pediculicides and other treatments, such as ivermectin, that are not indicated for the treatment of head lice but are being used increasingly, are discussed.

Head louse infestations: the “no nit” policy and its consequences
TLDR
It has been repeatedly shown that only a small number of children who have nits on their scalp are also infested with living lice, and therefore the “no nit” policy should be abandoned and alternative ways of examination and treatment for head lice should be found.

Acne: a review of immunologic and microbiologic factors
TLDR
This work states that further research should clarify the role of complement, cytotoxins, and neutrophils in this acne-forming response and address the immunologic reaction to extracellular products produced by the acne-causing organism.

Clinical Evidence of Lice Resistance to Over-the-Counter Products
TLDR
It is documented that over-the-counter head lice preparations no longer achieve high levels of insecticidal activity, suggesting increased resistance to these insecticides.

Dermatophytoma: Recalcitrance to treatment because of existence of fungal biofilm.
TLDR
Biofilms are populations of microorganisms that adhere to surfaces and produce an extracellular polysaccharide, increasing resistance to standard antimicrobials, and may be beneficial in understanding refractory dermatophyte infections, such as dermatophytomas of the nail.
