Introduction Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis are severe cutaneous drug eruptions characterized by detachment. Pembrolizumab is a monoclonal antibody that binds to the programmed death-1 receptor, it has been associated with numerous adverse side-effects, including syndrome. Case report We describe 63-year-old male metastatic lung adenocarcinoma who developed rapidly progressing maculopapular rash three days after first dose of pembrolizumab. On day 16, affected more...

Abstract The integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT-4 and GPT-3.5 into clinical diagnostics has the potential to transform patient-doctor interactions. However, readiness these models for real-world application remains inadequately tested. This paper introduces Conversational Reasoning Assessment Framework Testing in Medicine (CRAFT-MD), a novel approach evaluating LLMs. Unlike traditional methods that rely on structured medical exams, CRAFT-MD focuses natural dialogues, using...

Despite the proliferation and clinical deployment of artificial intelligence (AI)-based medical software devices, most remain black boxes that are uninterpretable to key stakeholders including patients, physicians, even developers devices. Here, we present a general model auditing framework combines insights from experts with highly expressive form explainable AI leverages generative models, understand reasoning processes We then apply this generate first thorough, medically interpretable...

Building trustworthy and transparent image-based medical AI systems requires the ability to interrogate data models at all stages of development pipeline: from training post-deployment monitoring. Ideally, associated could be described using terms already familiar physicians, but this datasets densely annotated with semantically meaningful concepts. Here, we present a foundation model approach, named MONET (

Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are rare and heterogeneous, with cutaneous STS (CSTS) lacking recent epidemiological data. This study analyses CSTS incidence from 2000 to 2019 using SEER data, identifying 18 181 cases. was more common in men non-Hispanic Whites, Kaposi sarcoma (KS) dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) being predominant. The overall 11.2 per 1 000 person-years, KS having the highest rate. reveals a 1.4% annual decline rates highlights ethnic disparities, especially among...

Background: Patterned cutaneous hypopigmentation (PCH) can be associated with an array of extracutaneous findings. Objective: Determine clinical and genetic characteristics patients PCH involvement. Method: Thirty were identified, eight neurological involvement agreed to participate in this study. They reassessed collect anomalies their PCH. Exome sequencing was performed on patient blood lesional skin biopsies as well from both parents when available. Array comparative genomic hybridization...

Indoor tanning beds cause more than 450,000 new skin cancers each year, yet their use remains common, with a global indoor prevalence of 10.4%. Social media provides an opportunity for cost-effective, targeted public health messaging. We sought to direct Instagram users at high risk accurate information about the risks and reduce bed use.

RHOA-related neuroectodermal syndrome is characterised by linear skin hypopigmentation along Blaschko's lines associated with alopecia, leukoencephalopathy, facial and limb hypoplasia, ocular, dental, acral anomalies. Herein, we report a patient patterned cutaneous similar phenotype due to novel postzygotic RHOA variant (c.210G>T; p.Arg70Ser). This illustrates that the complexity of orchestration morphogenesis organogenesis can be affected different variants in same gene.

Abstract With an estimated 3 billion people globally lacking access to dermatological care, technological solutions leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) have been proposed improve 1 . Diagnostic AI algorithms, however, require high-quality datasets allow development and testing, particularly those that enable evaluation of both unimodal multimodal approaches. Currently, the majority dermatology algorithms are built tested on proprietary, siloed data, often from a single site with only...

Informal caregivers of people with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) are at risk poor mental health. This study aimed to investigate the feasibility validity studying caregivers' stressors using online caregiving forum data (March 2018–February 2022) natural language processing machine learning (NLP/ML). NLP/ML topic modeling generated eight prominent topics, which we compared qualitatively defined themes existing framework assess validity. Among a total 60,182 posts, 5848...

For the deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) in high-risk settings, such as healthcare, methods that provide interpretability/explainability or allow fine-grained error analysis are critical. Many recent for and use concepts, which meta-labels semantically meaningful to humans. However, there only a few datasets include concept-level most these relevant natural images do not require domain expertise. Densely annotated medicine focused on single disease melanoma. In dermatology, skin is...

We developed a digital tool for home-based monitoring of skin disease, our tool. In the current observational pilot study, we found that DORA is feasible to use in practice, as it has high patient compliance, retention and satisfaction. Clinicans rated photos generally good quality or perfect quality. These results show health can easily be used by patients send their dermatologist, which could reduce unnecessary clinical visits. It may also other settings where literacy barriers unequal...
