Evaluation of the Biological Effect of a Nicotinamide-Containing Broad-Spectrum Sunscreen on Photodamaged Skin.

Introduction: UVA-UVB increases skin matrix metalloproteinases and breaks down extracellular proteins and fibrillar type 1 collagen, leading to photodamage. Topical application of nicotinamide prevents UV-induced immunosuppression. Several studies have demonstrated the importance of protection against UV.

Fast neonicotinoid quantification in honey using the one-point internal calibration approach.

Neonicotinoids, a highly effective class of insecticides used worldwide, have been identified as a major cause of concern for biodiversity. To assess the ecological and environmental consequences of neonicotinoids' use, reliable analytical methodologies, including calibration approaches, are needed. Here, we compared the performance of internal calibration (IC) using a single concentration of stable isotope-labeled standard (SIL) with classical multipoint external calibration (EC) for the quantification of six neonicotinoids in honey.

Artificial intelligence algorithms and three-dimensional volumetric rendering for basal cell carcinoma detection and tumour depth assessment in reflectance confocal microscopy-optical coherence tomography images: a pilot study.

The reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM)-optical coherence tomography (OCT) device has shown utility in detecting and assessing the depth of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) in vivo but is challenging for novices to interpret. Artificial intelligence (AI) applied to RCM-OCT could aid readers. We trained AI models, using OCT rasters of biopsy-confirmed BCC, to detect BCC, create three-dimensional rendering and automatically measure tumour depth.

Real-life practice of reflectance confocal microscopy in France: A prospective multicenter study.

Background: Studies demonstrating the potential utility of reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) have been performed under experimental conditions.

Objective: To provide an overview of RCM practice in real-life.

Methods: A multicenter, prospective study carried out in 10 university dermatology departments in France.
