The Comparative Sufficiency of ChatGPT, Google Bard, and Bing AI in Answering Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prognosis Questions About Common Dermatological Diagnoses.

Our team explored the utility of unpaid versions of 3 artificial intelligence chatbots in offering patient-facing responses to questions about 5 common dermatological diagnoses, and highlighted the strengths and limitations of different artificial intelligence chatbots, while demonstrating how chatbots presented the most potential in tandem with dermatologists' diagnosis.

Dermatology in Contemporary Times: Building Awareness of Social Media's Association With Adolescent Skin Disease and Mental Health.

Background: The contribution of psychological disorders to the burden of skin disease has been poorly explored in adolescent patients. The review aims to provide insights into the psychological, social, occupational, and social medias' association with acne, atopic dermatitis (AD), and aesthetics in adolescent patients.

Methods: The project used a modified Delphi process comprising face-to-face discussions followed up online.

The effect of external store reliance on actual and predicted value-directed remembering.

We often rely on external devices to store to-be-remembered information in our everyday lives (e.g., writing grocery lists, setting reminders), yet there is limited research about how certain information (i.

Sjogren's Syndrome Presenting with Solely Cutaneous Features.

Sjogren's syndrome is classically characterized by symptoms of keratoconjunctivitis sicca and xerostomia, secondary to lymphocytic infiltration of the salivary and lacrimal glands. Cutaneous findings of this disease are infrequently discussed and thus rarely considered among patients without the typical symptomatology. However, these patients can develop xerosis, alopecia, vitiligo, papular or nodular lesions, or cutaneous vasculitis.

Increasing a Dermatologist's Footprint on Instagram: An Analysis of Top Influencers Performing Nonsurgical Cosmetic Procedures.

Background: Patients use social media to find information about cosmetic procedures, yet dermatologists historically lack a social media presence. Misleading information from nonexperts is potentially harmful.

Objective: To identify the top influencers posting about nonsurgical cosmetic procedures on Instagram, verify their credentials, and analyze their content to empower dermatologists to effectively join the online conversation, combat harmful misinformation, and preserve the expertise and influence of board-certified dermatologists.

Dermatology on Instagram: An Analysis of Hashtags.

Forty-two percent of Americans search for health-related information on social media platforms, and forty-five percent of consumers report that social media health information influences their decision to seek care.

The Use of Hormonal Antiandrogen Therapy in Female Patients with Acne: A 10-Year Retrospective Study.

Background: Little is known about how dermatologists prescribe hormonal antiandrogen acne treatment (HAAT).

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate dermatologists' HAAT-prescribing habits and HAAT's impact on systemic antibiotic use in women with acne.

Methods: We performed a retrospective study at an academic medical center of female patients receiving HAAT (combined oral contraceptive [COC], spironolactone) for acne from January 2005 to October 2015.

Mobile Health in the Retinal Clinic Population: Access to and Interest in Self-Tracking.

Background And Objective: Implementation of mobile health-tracking programs for retinal pathology requires both access to mobile devices and patient motivation to participate in self-tracking. The authors' study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of smartphone and tablet ownership and patient interest in self-tracking among a retinal clinic population.

Patients And Methods: This is an institutional, prospective, cross-sectional survey of 103 retinal clinic outpatients.

THINKING LEAN: Improving Vitreoretinal Clinic Efficiency by Decentralizing Optical Coherence Tomography.

Purpose: Patients in vitreoretinal clinic have long wait times that could be reduced by improving the efficiency of patient flow. The objective of this study was to determine whether decentralizing optical coherence tomography (OCT) into the technicians' room would reduce patient wait times and improve clinic efficiency.

Methods: Randomized, single-center, clinical trial for 1 month without follow-up at Byers Eye Institute at Stanford.

Gardner-Diamond syndrome.

Gardner-Diamond syndrome, which also is knownas autoerythrocyte sensitization disorder, is a raresyndrome of inflammatory, edematous papulesthat evolve into painful ecchymoses on the trunkand lower legs after a period of stress with no priorhistory of trauma. This syndrome usually occurs inwomen with a history of psychiatric disorders, themost common one being depression. Although theexact mechanism of injury is not well understood,it is hypothesized that these patients haveautoantibodies to phosphatidylserine, which is aphospholipid membrane component in erythrocytes.

Multiple pilomatricomas in the setting of myotonic dystrophy.

The association between multiple pilomatricomasand the autosomal dominant neurodegenerativedisorder myotonic dystrophy has been described inthe literature. Although the mechanism is unknown,it is hypothesized that the dystrophia myotonicaprotein kinase mutation in myotonic dystrophyaffects intracellular calcium levels, which alterproliferation and terminal differentiation that leads tocells that are observed in pilomatricomas. We presenta patient with multiple, symptomatic pilomatricomasand myotonic dystrophy, with a strong family historyof both of these rare disorders.

Acral verruca-like presentation of chronic graft-vs.-host disease.

Background: Chronic graft-vs.-host disease (GVHD) is a severe and potentially fatal complication in patients after undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplant. This disease may be hard to diagnose as it has numerous cutaneous presentations.

Optical coherence tomography study of retinal changes in normal aging and after ischemia.

Purpose: Age-related thinning of the retinal ganglion cell axons in the nerve fiber layer has been measured in humans using optical coherence tomography (OCT). In this study, we used OCT to measure inner retinal changes in 3-month-, 1-year-, and 2-year-old mice and after experimental anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION).

Methods: We used OCT to quantify retinal thickness in over 200 eyes at different ages before and after a photochemical thrombosis model of AION.

Evaluation of vitamin D levels among HIV-infected patients in New York City.

Few studies have examined the vitamin D status in HIV-infected patients. A cross-sectional retrospective chart review of 2992 HIV-infected patients was conducted from 9/2008 to 5/2009. A total of 274 adult patients had 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] obtained by radioimmunoassay.
