Deep learning convolutional neural networks (CNN) may facilitate melanoma detection, but data comparing a CNN's diagnostic performance to larger groups of dermatologists are lacking.Google's Inception v4 CNN architecture was trained and validated using dermoscopic images corresponding diagnoses. In comparative cross-sectional reader study 100-image test-set used (level-I: dermoscopy only; level-II: plus clinical information images). Main outcome measures were sensitivity, specificity area...
<ns4:p>The use of dermoscopy has offered a new morphological dimension skin lesions and provided an effective diagnostic tool to differentiate melanoma from other benign or malignant tumors but also support the clinical diagnosis in general dermatology. The aim this article is provide overview most recent important advances rising world dermoscopy.</ns4:p>
The aim of this study was to explore the role lung ultrasound (LUS) in diagnosis SARS-CoV-2 infection and verify its utility prediction disease's severity outcome. Fifty-three consecutive patients presenting Emergency Department Santa Maria delle Grazie Hospital with high suspicion underwent diagnostic test for on samples obtained from nasopharyngeal swab as well complete proper work-up that included clinical evaluation, laboratory tests, blood gas analyses, chest CT LUS. A semiquantitative...
Abstract Background The dermoscopic features of classic patch stage mycosis fungoides (MF) have been described, but data on plaque and tumoral as well rarer MF subtypes is limited. Objective To evaluate morphology dermoscopic‐pathological correlations stages investigate variants. Methods Patients with histopathologically confirmed lesions (patch, stage) or folliculotropic, erythrodermic poikilodermatous were included. Standardized evaluation pictures the included variants comparative...
Subungual exostosis (SE), the most common nail tumor of young adults, is a benign bony proliferation distal phalanx occurring beneath nail. Misdiagnosis or late diagnosis frequently occurs and no dermoscopy features this were previously outlined.To describe dermoscopic appearance SE, 10 patients with radiologically histologically confirmed SE retrospectively retrieved from our tertiary referral centers. Data regarding age, gender, time to diagnosis, clinical presentation, features, involved...
Alopecia areata (AA) is a complex immune‐mediated disorder, which difficult to treat. The available treatment options seem have limited benefit, help only some patients and high relapse rate. We evaluated new therapeutic option for moderate severe AA based on the combination of photodynamic therapy (PDT) with 5‐aminolaevulinic acid (ALA) microneedling (MN). In total, 14 were enrolled, these randomly divided into 3 groups: Group A (MN alone; n = 9), B (ALA‐PDT 15) C (combination MN ALA‐PDT;...
During the first phase of European epidemic COVID-19, a contemporary outbreak chilblain-like lesions (CLL) has been reported.1 After that, hundreds similar cases have described in world. CLL typically appeared young otherwise healthy patients with no proven SARS-CoV-2 infection, and most studies did not show positivity PCR serology. In Italy, during trimester March–April–May we experienced majority COVID-19 contemporarily CLL.2-4 summertime, dramatic decrease infected was observed, that...
Abstract: Idiopathic facial aseptic granuloma is a chronic, benign, and painless nodule occurring exclusively in childhood. Its pathogenesis unclear, although some interesting hypotheses have been advanced. On the basis of relationship existing between this disease recurrent chalazions conjunctivitis, we hypothesize that it could be considered to possible marker childhood rosacea.
Background: Because GH exerted beneficial effects in various experimental models of heart failure, we investigated the on physical exercise capacity and cardiopulmonary performance patients with dilated cardiomyopathy chronic failure (CHF).
