Value of DermaCheckup as a novel dedicated digital health solution for teledermatology.

Daily healthcare is becoming increasingly costly and resource-intensive, requiring vast human and financial resources. The primary aim of the present study was to present the initial findings regarding the diagnostic accuracy of a novel telemedicine platform, DermaCheckup, when compared with face-to-face clinical appointments. The secondary aim was to assess whether patient management plans produced via this telemedicine platform differ from those decided upon following a face-to-face dermatological consultation.

Antioxidants and basal cell carcinoma of the skin: a nested case-control study.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and antioxidant nutrients, specifically carotenoids, vitamin E and selenium.

Methods: The Nambour Skin Cancer Study is an ongoing, community-based study of randomly selected adult residents of a township in sub-tropical Queensland, Australia. Using a nested case-control design, incident cases of BCC (n=90) were compared with age and sex matched controls (n=90).
