Lentigo maligna (LM) is a growing problem worldwide and the main type of melanoma in situ in some Caucasian populations. It presents as a spectrum from atypical intraepidermal melanocytic proliferation (AIMP) to invasive lentigo maligna melanoma (LMM). Accurate diagnosis and staging are crucial for determining appropriate management strategies.

- Cutaneous confocal microscopy (CCCM) is a technique that allows for detailed imaging of the skin at a cellular level, and this study tested a remote version (Remote-CCM) to enhance access to skin cancer diagnoses.
- In the study, 201 lesions were assessed, with Remote-CCM showing a sensitivity of 89% for detecting skin malignancies and a specificity of 64%, effectively reducing unnecessary biopsies in 90% of benign cases.
- The findings suggest that while Remote-CCM is accurate and can lower biopsy rates, it may not be suitable for potential cases of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), indicating a need for follow-up on uncertain melanoc
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how rising temperatures due to climate change affect ecosystems, particularly freshwater food webs in high-latitude regions like Iceland and Russia.
- Researchers conducted natural experiments in 14 streams with temperature increases of up to 20°C, discovering that warmer streams had less trophic diversity and a shift towards more reliance on local (autochthonous) carbon sources.
- The findings suggest that higher temperatures lead to simpler food webs, confirming predictions about the impacts of global warming on freshwater ecosystems at large scales.
Background Hemodialysis is a chronic replacement therapy recommended during end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Post-dialysis fatigue (PDF) is one of the symptoms patients experience after the treatment. This multifactorial condition is subjective and characterized by a lack of physical and emotional energy.
