When Are Single Reader Evaluations Insufficient in Teledermoscopic Assessments? Analyses of a Retrospective Cohort Study.

Teledermoscopy (TDS) emerges as an efficient tool for diagnosing skin lesions. In Sweden, double reading is the standard of care, but risk factors for misdiagnosis or mismanagement using single reader evaluations (SRE) are not well-studied. This study aimed to assess the accuracy of SRE compared with the gold standard in TDS.

Characterization of Esocid Herpesvirus 1 (EsHV1) from Europe.

During routine sampling of northern pike, a male with circular blue-metallic granular spots mainly located on the head and back was identified. Histological investigations presented multifocally thickened epidermis rich in basophilic large structures with a granulated rim and a dense, non-granulated center. Other organs showed no signs of infection.

Influence of temperature and crack-tip speed on crack propagation in elastic solids.

I study the influence of temperature and the crack-tip velocity of bond breaking at the crack tip in rubber-like materials. Bond breaking is considered as a stress-aided thermally activated process and results in an effective crack propagation energy, which increases strongly with decreasing temperature or increasing crack-tip speed. This effect is particularly important for adhesive (interfacial) crack propagation but less important for cohesive (bulk) crack propagation owing to the much larger bond-breaking energies in the latter case.
