Abstract Background Artificial intelligence tools such as OpenAI's GPT‐4 have shown promise in medical education, but their potential dermatology remains unexplored. Objectives To assess GPT‐4's performance on board‐style questions and determine its value a supplementary educational tool for trainees educators. Methods This cross‐sectional study evaluated 250 random sampled from the American Academy of Dermatology's Board Prep Plus resource. Questions were divided into five subspecialties...
Caffeine is ubiquitous in our society-not only the drinks consumed but also increasingly dermatologic topicals. Given that coffee and caffeine are used for production of many anti-cancer topicals, sunscreens, cosmetics, it imperative importance to review basic science clinical evidence such claims. In this concise review, we outline current evidence.
BackgroundThe updated American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging criteria for melanoma remain unable to identify high‐risk stage I tumour subsets.
Objectives/Hypothesis To investigate the risk factors for refusal of recommended surgery in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) treatment Study Design Retrospective review a national database. Methods The Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results database was queried all cases HNSCC from 1989 to 2014. Patients who underwent (N = 98,270) were identified compared patients refused 3,582). Groups patient demographics, socioeconomic variables, tumor characteristics including stage, grade,...
For patients with early American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC)-stage melanoma the combined loss of autophagy regulatory protein AMBRA1 and terminal differentiation marker loricrin in peritumoral epidermis is associated a significantly increased risk metastasis.
Current literature supports mixed conclusions regarding the outcomes of metastasectomy in Stage IV melanoma. The objective this national study was to determine associations non-primary site surgery with overall survival (OS) melanoma.The National Cancer Database (NCDB) queried for all melanoma cases diagnosed from 2004 2015. Cases missing treatment/staging data or undergoing palliative treatment were excluded (remaining n = 14 034). Patients separated into 'metastasectomy' (n 4214, 30.0%)...
The optimal surgical management of sebaceous carcinoma (SC) has yet to be determined between Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) and wide local excision (WLE). To investigate overall survival (OS) differences for SC undergoing WLE or MMS, National Cancer Database (NCDB) was queried all from 2004 2015 (n = 2863). Cases missing staging data, palliative care, showing lymph node extension, AJCC Stage III/IV were omitted. Chi-squared tests used analyze patient demographics, cancer characteristics,...
Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is a common oral disease characterized by intermittent eruptions of painful ulcerations. Hippocrates first described with the Greek word aphthi meaning "to inflame." RAS affects 10-20% population incidence being highest among young adults. The peak age onset between 10 and 19 years age. It has three main forms presentation. most minor RAS, along major herpetiform types. Many local systemic factors are associated pathogenesis. concern aphthae in many cases...
Risk factors associated with melanoma treatment delay (MTD) have been inadequately studied. To elucidate MTD associations based on patient and tumor characteristics, a retrospective cohort study was performed for cutaneous cases reported to the National Cancer Database (NCDB) between 2004 2015. We evaluated number of days from diagnosis initiation, analyzing postponements more than 45 as moderate (mMTD) 90 severe (sMTD). Greater rates were independently patients who are older 50 years,...
We compared the incidence of polymorphisms activating NLRP3 inflammasome between controls and patients with cholesteatoma its potential association bone erosion in cholesteatoma.This is a case-control study assessing mutation rates genes interest without cholesteatoma. A total 133 saliva samples from control (n = 65) 68) were collected for DNA extraction. Caspase recruitment domain family member 8 (CARD8) (AA: homozygous wild type, AT: heterozygous, TT: mutant polymorphism) (CC: CA: AA:...
Abstract Purpose To investigate frequencies and characteristics concerning mandibular device complications as reported to the Food Drug Administration. Study Design Retrospective database review. Methods The Manufacturer User Facility Device Experience ( MAUDE ) was queried for reports from 2007 2017 using keywords ‘mandible’ ‘mandibular’. A total of 3592 were gathered. After curating out duplicate reports, not applicable hardware, literature articles, 1899 event subsequently studied...
Objectives/Hypothesis To assess the impact of resident duty‐hour restrictions (DHR) in otolaryngology via comparison postoperative outcomes between teaching hospitals (Oto‐TH) and nonteaching (NTH) before after complete implementation. Study Design Retrospective database review. Methods The Nationwide Inpatient Sample was queried for all major head neck cases 2000 2002 (n = 34,064) 2008 2010 33,094). Cases were stratified into Oto‐TH 28,771) NTH 38,387) assessed procedure type, patient...
