Article Synopsis
- An 80-year-old man was diagnosed with atypical fibroxanthoma (AFX) on his right temple but chose a topical treatment over the gold standard Mohs surgery due to cost concerns.
- The topical regimen involved a combination of tazarotene cream, imiquimod cream, and 5-fluorouracil solution applied for 30 days, with a follow-up showing improvement and absence of AFX after a year.
- This case highlights the potential for non-surgical treatments for AFX and suggests further research into their effectiveness compared to traditional surgical methods.
Background: Measuring vital signs plays a key role in both patient care and wellness, but can be challenging outside of medical settings due to the lack of specialized equipment.
Methods: In this study, we prospectively evaluated smartphone camera-based techniques for measuring heart rate (HR) and respiratory rate (RR) for consumer wellness use. HR was measured by placing the finger over the rear-facing camera, while RR was measured via a video of the participants sitting still in front of the front-facing camera.
