Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) causes neurological disease in humans, with varied clinical severity influenced by the viral subtype. TBEV is endemic to Mongolia, where both Siberian and Far-Eastern subtypes are present. is considered the main vector of TBEV in Mongolia; although, the virus has also been detected in species.

Introduction: Short-term teledermoscopic monitoring helps to distinguish early melanomas from nevi. As the incidence of melanoma is increasing, there are several benefits of patients' taking their own dermoscopic images, but only a few previous studies have investigated the feasibility of this approach.

Objectives: To examine patients' ability to take evaluable dermoscopic images of atypical melanocytic lesions in need of short-term monitoring.

Objectives: Total pregnancy denial is a phenomenon where the woman does not recognize her pregnancy until a late stage, sometimes just before childbirth. These complex situations raise many questions about the support of the mother-child dyad. This qualitative study aims to describe the experiences and strategies of midwives when dealing with cases of total pregnancy denial, as well as the relational dynamics within these particular dyads, in order to identify avenues for appropriate care.

Article Synopsis
  • Diagnosing atypical pigmented facial lesions (aPFLs) is difficult for dermatologists and crucial for patient care, as incorrect diagnoses can lead to mismanagement and delays in treatment.
  • The study compared machine learning and deep learning models to improve diagnostic accuracy of aPFLs using 1197 dermoscopic images classified into seven categories, focusing on the potential role of AI in supporting clinicians.
  • Results showed that while dermatologists were 71.2% accurate in identifying malignant versus benign lesions, their accuracy dropped to 42.9% when distinguishing among specific lesions, highlighting the complexity of aPFL evaluations.
