Early diagnosis of melanoma drastically reduces morbidity and mortality; however, most skin lesions are not initially evaluated by dermatologists, and some patients may require a referral. This study sought to determine the performance of an artificial intelligence (AI) application in classifying lesions as benign or malignant to determine whether AI could assist in screening potential melanoma cases. One hundred dermoscopic images (80 benign nevi and 20 biopsy-verified malignant melanomas) were assessed by an AI application as well as 23 dermatologists, 7 family physicians, and 12 primary care mid-level providers. The AI's high accuracy and positive predictive value (PPV) demonstrate that this AI application could be a reliable melanoma screening tool for providers.

Background: With the widespread application of Artificial Intelligence technology in the field of E-commerce, human-machine relationships have attracted considerable attention within the field of psychology. Address forms, as crucial linguistic cues, have shown notable progress in advancing research on interpersonal relationships; however, a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics in interpersonal (or human-machine) relationships among interactors remains elusive. Therefore, based on Social Identity Theory, this paper explores the interactive effects and underlying mechanisms of affectionate nicknames and streamer type on streamer attitude in E-commerce live streaming, with consumers' perceptions of psychological closeness serving as the mediating mechanism.

Conductive hydrogels (CHs) represent a burgeoning class of intelligent wound dressings, providing innovative strategies for chronic wound repair and monitoring. Notably, CHs excel in promoting cell migration and proliferation, exhibit powerful antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, and enhance collagen deposition and angiogenesis. These capabilities, combined with real-time monitoring functions, play a pivotal role in accelerating collagen synthesis, angiogenesis and continuous wound surveillance.

This study developed an artificial intelligence (AI) system using a local-global multimodal fusion graph neural network (LGMF-GNN) to address the challenge of diagnosing major depressive disorder (MDD), a complex disease influenced by social, psychological, and biological factors. Utilizing functional MRI, structural MRI, and electronic health records, the system offers an objective diagnostic method by integrating individual brain regions and population data. Tested across cohorts from China, Japan, and Russia with 1,182 healthy controls and 1,260 MDD patients from 24 institutions, it achieved a classification accuracy of 78.
