strategies for patients with complicated post thrombotic obstruction, mainly by means of advanced duplex ultrasound of the deep venous system including the abdomino-pelvic veins.[5,6] In 2012, Tamar Edmond Christoffel Nijsten (1972; photograph on page 5), was appointed expert in dermato-epidemiology and started several research projects on non-melanoma skin cancers, phlebology and quality of life of skin diseases including psoriasis.[7-10] In 2013, Suzanne Gudule Maria Apollonia Pasmans (1963; photograph on page 139), became the new professor in paediatric dermatology at the Sophia Children Hospital. Nowadays the situation at the Dermatology department of the Erasmus MC is entirely different from the sixties of last century, when the medical faculty started. The main expertise is now in inflammation (in particular psoriasis and eczema), dermato-oncology (in particular non-melanoma skin cancer including Mohs micrographic surgery), phlebology (in particular the diagnosis and therapy of severe problems in venous hemodynamics including congenital malformations) and paediatric dermatology. Venereology is no longer a research item, but now again field of expertise of the Rotterdam Municipal Public Health Services, the place where the department of dermatology of the Rotterdam University was born.
