Article Abstract
When evaluating pediatric patients of color, it is essential to consider the unique diagnostic and treatment factors that apply to this population. Certain dermatologic conditions are more common in these patients, including postinflammatory hyperpigmentation, pityriasis alba, progressive macular hypomelanosis, tinea capitis, traction alopecia, keloids, hypertrophic scars, pseudofolliculitis barbae, acne keloidalis nuchae, and hidradenitis suppurativa. Furthermore, conditions such as vitiligo are more noticeable in people of color. This can lead to a significantly diminished quality of life, so these conditions should be quickly recognized and treated. Notably, inflammation can be difficult to recognize on the skin of people of color, which can lead to the underestimation of severity as well as inappropriate treatment. Treatment recommendations can also differ based on lifestyle or cultural norms, such as the use of tinted sunscreens and the consideration of hair care practices. Pediatricians should be aware of these conditions and treatment considerations to best treat pediatric patients of color. .

Low sensitivity for orientation in texture similarity ratings.

December 2024
Visual Perception Laboratory (VPL) Göttingen, Göttingen, Germany.
Research on visual texture perception in the last decades was often devoted to segmentation and region segregation. In this report, I address a different aspect, that of texture identification and similarity ratings between texture fields with different texture properties superimposed. In a series of experiments, I noticed that certain feature dimensions were considered as more important for similarity evaluation than others.
