Physician Opinions on Artificial Intelligence Chatbots In Dermatology: A National Online Cross-Sectional Survey of Dermatologists.

Background: Artificial intelligence chatbots (AIC) have sharply risen in popularity. Dermatology, heavily involving visual, clinical, and pathological pattern-recognition techniques, will be impacted by AIC. Thus, this study aims to categorize the attitudes and beliefs of American dermatologists towards AIC and their potential uses, benefits, and risks.

Combined Charlson comorbidity/C-Reactive Protein Index Is a Novel Predictor in Renal Cell Carcinoma: Analysis of the International Marker Consortium for Renal Cancer (INMARC) Registry.

Objective: To evaluate predictive ability of a novel combined index, Charlson comorbidity index and C-reactive protein (CCI-CRP), for outcomes in renal cell carcinoma (RCC), and compare predictive outcomes with of CCI-CRP to its separate components and to the UCLA integrated staging system (UISS).

Patients And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed INMARC registry of RCC patients. Receiver Operator Characteristics (ROC) analysis was fitted to identify threshold defining low-CRP (LCRP) and high-CRP (HCRP).

Evaluation of potency and metabolic stability of diphyllin-derived Vacuolar-ATPase inhibitors.

Diphyllin is a naturally occurring lignan comprised of an aryl naphthalene lactone scaffold that demonstrates beneficial biological activities in disease models of cancer, obesity, and viral infection. A target of diphyllin and naturally occurring derivatives is the vacuolar ATPase (V-ATPase) complex. Although diphyllin-related natural products are active with in vitro models for viral entry, the potencies and unknown pharmacokinetic properties limit well-designed in vivo evaluations.

Association of Elevated C-Reactive Protein with Worsened Outcomes in Different Histologies of Renal Cortical Tumors: Analysis of the INMARC Registry.

Background: To evaluate relationship between histological subtypes of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and preoperative c-reactive protein (CRP).

Patients And Methods: We queried the International Marker Consortium for Renal Cancer database for patients affected by RCC. Patients were classified according to their histology: benign tumors, clear cell (cc) RCC, chromophobe (ch) RCC, papillary (p) RCC, and variant histology (vh) RCC; and according to CRP (mg/L): low CRP ≤5 and high CRP >5.

What is the mission of innovation?-Lexical structure, sentiment analysis, and cosine similarity of mission statements of research-knowledge intensive institutions.

Mission statements (henceforth: missions) are strategic planning communication tools used by all types of organizations worldwide. Missions communicate an organization's purpose, values, standards, and strategy. Research on missions has been prolific over the past 30 years, nevertheless several empirical gaps remain, such as single sector or country studies and restricted mission samples.

Winners and runners-up alike?-a comparison between awardees and special mention recipients of the most reputable science award in Colombia via a composite citation indicator.

The research agenda on global academic elites (e.g., those awarded the Nobel Prize) has overlooked academic awards and elites from developing countries and the public symbolic recognition of scientific elites by research awards.

The Colombian scientific elite-Science mapping and a comparison with Nobel Prize laureates using a composite citation indicator.

A well-established agenda on the research output, impact, and structure of global scientific elites such as Nobel Prize laureates has generated interest in the scientific elites from developing countries. However, this topic has not been investigated in detail. This study, first, deploys science mapping techniques to provide a comprehensive analysis of the output, impact, and structure of the Colombian scientific elite, i.

Innovation for sustainability in the Global South: bibliometric findings from management & business and STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) fields in developing countries.

Research on innovation and sustainability is prolific but fragmented. This study integrates the research on innovation in management and business and STEM fields for sustainability in a unified framework for the case of developing countries (i.e.

Risk factors of digital dermatitis in feedlot cattle.

Digital dermatitis () has been reported in North American feedlots, although risk factors are not well characterized. Our objectives were to analyze: (1) foot and leg conformation and (2) pen hygiene, as potential variables that predispose feedlot cattle to DD. Production parameters in DD-affected cattle were compared with healthy cattle and with those diagnosed with more commonly known infectious lesion foot rot ().

Economic impact of digital dermatitis, foot rot, and bovine respiratory disease in feedlot cattle.

Digital dermatitis () has emerged in North American feedlots, although production and economic impacts are not fully understood. Objectives of this study were to: (1) estimate the economic impact of a single case of DD, foot rot (), and bovine respiratory disease () in feedlot cattle and (2) determine its impact on average daily gain (). Feedlot cattle health and production records were available from two feedlots for a 3-yr interval.
