Patient and dermatologists' perspectives on augmented intelligence for melanoma screening: A prospective study.

Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) shows promising potential to enhance human decision-making as synergistic augmented intelligence (AuI), but requires critical evaluation for skin cancer screening in a real-world setting.

Objectives: To investigate the perspectives of patients and dermatologists after skin cancer screening by human, artificial and augmented intelligence.

Methods: A prospective comparative cohort study conducted at the University Hospital Basel included 205 patients (at high-risk of developing melanoma, with resected or advanced disease) and 8 dermatologists.

Assessment of intestinal and cardiac-related biomarkers in dogs with parvoviral enteritis.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the intestinal and cardiac biomarkers in the determination of intestinal and cardiac damage in dogs with parvoviral enteritis. The material of this study consisted of 10 healthy dogs (control group) and 30 dogs with parvoviral enteritis (experimental group) admitted to the Department of Internal Medicine, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Selcuk University.Serum samples were extracted from the collected blood samples taken from vena cephalicavenipuncture for analysis of blood gases, haemogram and to measure the levels of intestinal-fatty acid-binding protein (I-FABP), trefoil factor 3 (TFF-3), claudin-3 (CLDN-3), heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP), cardiac troponin I (cTnI), and creatine kinase-myocardial band (CK-MB) by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test kits.

Cone beam computed tomography for diagnosis of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw: evaluation of quantitative and qualitative image parameters.

Objective: To assess the diagnostic performance of quantitative and qualitative image parameters in cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) for diagnosis of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ).

Materials And Methods: A BRONJ (22 patients, mean age 70.0 years) group was age and gender matched to a healthy control group (22 patients, mean age 68.

Rate of intravenous thrombolysis for acute ischaemic stroke in the North-of-France region and evolution over time.

The proportion of patients with ischaemic stroke treated by intravenous (i.v.) recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) is an indicator of quality of stroke care.

[Tuberculous sacroiliitis: report of a case].

Our case concerns a 32-year old Cameroonian male presenting with tuberculous sacroiliitis. Diagnosis was made on the basis of a positive abscess needle aspirate. Tuberculous sacroiliitis is rare and generally an isolated phenomenon.

[Complications of endovascular treatment of aneurysm of the infrarenal abdominal aorta: incidence and treatment].

Introduction: Abdominal aortic aneurysms are the 13th leading cause of death in the United States. Conventional surgical treatment is associated with a low mortality of 1.4-5% and a higher morbidity in high-risk patients.

[Headaches after spinal anesthesia: prospective multicenter study of a young adult population].

Study Design: Prospective, multicentre, non-randomized study.

Patients: This 9 month-long study, included 1,122 patients less than 50 years-old, consisting of 502 women and 620 men.
