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.
[Support for the mother-child relationship during total denial of pregnancy: Midwives' point of view].

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.

- 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.
Article Synopsis
- * Risk factors identified for higher IER included lesions on the head and neck, clinical excision margins less than 5 mm, and the use of preoperative partial biopsies.
- * The research suggests careful surgical planning for excising LMs, particularly those ≥ 20 mm and in challenging anatomical areas, and that plastic surgeons had higher IERs compared to dermatologists.
Previous studies have reported that amputation invokes body-wide responses in regenerative organisms, but most have not examined the implications of these changes beyond the region of tissue regrowth. Specifically, long-range epidermal responses to amputation are largely uncharacterized, with research on amputation-induced epidermal responses in regenerative organisms traditionally being restricted to the wound site. Here, we investigate the effect of amputation on long-range epidermal permeability in two evolutionarily distant, regenerative organisms: axolotls and planarians.
