Amelanotic/hypopigmented melanoma in a sibship with oculocutaneous albinism.

Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) is a rare condition characterized by hypopigmentation. A female proband and her sister, both with primary amelanotic/hypopigmented melanoma, underwent three-dimensional total-body photography and dermoscopy. Both sisters had exome sequencing along with their brother, who had OCA but no history of melanoma.

The Additive Value of 3D Total Body Imaging for Sequential Monitoring of Skin Lesions: A Case Series.

Background: Timely diagnosis is the cornerstone of melanoma morbidity and mortality reduction. 2D total body photography and dermoscopy are routinely used to assist with early detection of skin malignancies. Polarized 3D total body photography is a novel technique that enables fast image acquisition of almost the entire skin surface.

Short-Term Lesion Change Detection for Melanoma Screening With Novel Siamese Neural Network.

Short-term monitoring of lesion changes has been a widely accepted clinical guideline for melanoma screening. When there is a significant change of a melanocytic lesion at three months, the lesion will be excised to exclude melanoma. However, the decision on change or no-change heavily depends on the experience and bias of individual clinicians, which is subjective.

Using the Integrative Model of Behavioral Prediction to Understand Female Breast Cancer Survivors' Barriers and Facilitators for Adherence to a Community-Based Group-Exercise Program.

Objectives: To identify facilitators and barriers associated with adherence to the EXPINKT exercise program for breast cancer survivors in a convenience sample of women.

Data Sources: Focus groups discussions; The Integrative Model of Behavioral Prediction.

Conclusion: Findings suggest that program adherence could be achieved by the establishment, via staff and processes, of a positive and safe exercise environment, which instills a sense of accountability while developing exercise self-efficacy.
