Skin Cancer Detection Using Transfer Learning and Deep Attention Mechanisms.
Diagnostics (Basel)
January 2025
Early and accurate diagnosis of skin cancer improves survival rates; however, dermatologists often struggle with lesion detection due to similar pigmentation. Deep learning and transfer learning models have shown promise in diagnosing skin cancers through image processing. Integrating attention mechanisms (AMs) with deep learning has further enhanced the accuracy of medical image classification.

Methods: From 2020 to 2022 physical activity was measured people ≥18 years with type 1 or type 2 diabetes in Kuwait. Self-reported MVPA was measured over 7 days with the Arabic version of the IPAQ.
Article Synopsis
- Obesity treatments can involve nutritional therapy, medications, and surgeries that help achieve significant weight loss, and understanding patient preferences can enhance treatment success.
- A study with 33 patients with obesity-related health issues found that 30% expressed opinions about pharmacotherapy, with 24% opting for medication alone and 6% combining it with diet therapy.
- Key factors influencing medication choice included patients' attitudes towards drugs and obesity, perceived benefits and risks, guidance from healthcare professionals, and drug costs.
Objective: Obesity and many of its comorbidities can be improved by nutritional therapy, lifestyle modification, pharmacotherapy, and surgical intervention. Relatively little is known about patients' preferences for the range of obesity treatments. The present study was undertaken to identify factors that may influence these preferences.
