The use of artificial intelligence (AI) is expanding throughout the field medicine. In dermatology, researchers are evaluating potential for direct-to-patient and clinician decision-support AI tools to classify skin lesions. Although poised change how patients engage in health care, patient perspectives remain poorly understood.
To evaluate the effectiveness, cost, and cost-effectiveness of using renal mass biopsy to guide treatment decisions for small incidentally detected tumors.
Therapy for advanced melanoma has transformed during the past decade, but early detection and prognostic assessment of cutaneous (CM) remain paramount goals. Best practices screening use pigmented lesion evaluation tools gene expression profile (GEP) testing in CM to be defined.
<h3>Importance</h3> Effective patient-physician communication is essential for optimal health care. Recent introduction of online patient portals to access test results are changing the landscape, but regulatory guidelines release biopsy vary from state state. <h3>Objectives</h3> To assess preferences receiving skin rule out melanoma and compare those current physicians' practices notification. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> English-speaking individuals 18 years or older were...
<h3>Background:</h3> Primary care providers (PCPs) frequently address dermatologic concerns and perform skin examinations during clinical encounters. For PCPs who evaluate concerning lesions, dermoscopy (a noninvasive visualization technique) has been shown to increase the sensitivity for cancer diagnosis compared with unassisted examinations. Because no formal consensus existed on fundamental knowledge skills that should have respect detection, objective of this study was develop an expert...
Nicotinamide metabolites have recently been implicated in increased risk of major cardiovascular events (MACE). Supportive data about clinical MACE for nicotinamide users is lacking. To determine whether use results an increase MACE. This study used retrospective electronic health record 2 patient cohorts, the Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) and Million Veteran Program (MVP). The patients exposed to was compared with unexposed patients. In VUMC cohort, were either based on...
The US Veterans Health Administration (VHA) provides comprehensive medical care for enrolled veterans. Differences in melanoma diagnosis, associated with individual-level factors, have been previously published. area deprivation index (ADI) ranks a neighborhood's level of and can inform whether the characteristics patient's residence contribute to delayed measured by thickness. To evaluate if neighborhood is thicker (greater than 2 mm) cutaneous diagnosis after controlling veteran...
<h3>Importance</h3> Sexual minority men have reported higher rates of both indoor tanning and skin cancer than heterosexual men, sexual women lower or equal compared with women. Bisexual in particular, bed use men; however, no study has investigated prevalence among gay, lesbian, bisexual individuals as separate groups. <h3>Objective</h3> To evaluate the association between orientation lifetime cancer. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This cross-sectional analyzed data from 2014-2018...

<h3>Importance</h3> Dermoscopy education in US dermatology residency programs varies widely, and there is currently no existing expert consensus identifying what most important for resident physicians to know. <h3>Objectives</h3> To identify consensus-based learning constructs representing an appropriate foundational proficiency dermoscopic image interpretation physicians, including diagnoses, associated features, representative teaching images. Defining these will facilitate further skill...
Abstract: Acantholytic dyskeratosis mimicking Grover disease as a cutaneous manifestation of side effect to the Moderna (mRNA-1273) COVID vaccine is rare with only one documented case in literature date. Herein, we present an eruptive, erythematous, vesiculopapular rash developing patient after vaccine. Histopathology representative biopsy [x2, done 8 weeks apart] revealed similar histopathologic findings patchy suprabasal acantholysis dyskeratotic keratinocytes and underlying inflammatory...
