Actinic keratosis (AK) and seborrheic keratosis (SK) represent prevalent dermatological conditions with distinct clinical characteristics and potential health implications. This article investigates recent strides in dermatological diagnostics, centered on the development and application of artificial intelligence (AI) technology for discerning between AK and SK. The objective of this study is to develop and evaluate an artificial intelligence (AI) model capable of accurately distinguishing between stage one and stage two gastric carcinoma based on pathology slides. Employing a dataset of high-resolution images obtained from Kaggle.com, consisting of 1000 AK and 1000 SK images, a novel AI model was trained using cutting-edge deep learning methodologies. The dataset underwent meticulous partitioning into training, validation, and testing subsets to ensure robustness and generalizability. The AI model showcased exceptional proficiency in distinguishing AK from SK images, attaining notable levels of accuracy, precision, recall, specificity, F1-score, and area under the curve (AUC). Insights into the etiology and clinical ramifications of AK and SK were presented, emphasizing the critical significance of precise diagnosis and tailored therapeutic approaches. The integration of AI technology into dermatological practice holds considerable potential for enhancing diagnostic precision, refining treatment decisions, and elevating patient outcomes. This article underscores the transformative impact of AI in dermatology and the importance of collaborative efforts between clinicians, researchers, and technologists in advancing the realm of dermatological diagnosis and care.

Association Between Local Skin Reactions and Efficacy with 5-Fluorouracil 4% Cream in Actinic Keratosis: A Post-Hoc Analysis of Two Randomised Clinical Trials.

Dermatol Ther (Heidelb)

Medical Direction Pharmaceutical Care and Medical Dermatology, Pierre Fabre Dermatologie, Les Cauquillous, 81500, Lavaur, France.

Introduction: Topical 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), 5% or 4% cream, is recommended among first-line treatments for actinic keratosis (AK). Local skin reactions (LSRs) are an expected and transient response to treatment with 5-FU but can lead to treatment discontinuation when severe. This analysis aimed to investigate whether the severity of LSRs during the treatment was associated with lesion clearance assessed 4 weeks after completing treatment.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a treatment modality clinically approved for several oncologic indications, including esophageal and endobronchial cancers, precancerous conditions including Barrett's esophagus and actinic keratosis, and benign conditions like age-related macular degeneration. While it is currently clinically underused, PDT is an area of significant research interest. Because PDT relies on the absorption of light energy by intrinsic or administered absorbers, the dosimetric quantity of interest is the absorbed energy per unit mass of tissue, proportional to the fluence rate of light in tissue.

Our study aimed to investigate the correlation between skin cancer and anti-interleukin (IL) therapy in patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis. This was an observational monocentric study in which we enrolled a total of 235 patients in which 127 patients were affected by moderate-to-severe psoriasis and treated with anti-IL monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for at least 6 months, whereas 108 patients affected by mild psoriasis were treated with topical therapies. Afterward, we performed a dermatologic visit to all the subjects, collecting anamnestic information including risk factors for skin cancer.
