Digital Skin Care: Top 8 Dermatology Apps
Each year 2-3 million non-melanoma and 132,000 melanoma skin cancers occur globally according to statistics from the WHO. Thus, every tool has to be deployed for early detection and intervention. As smartphone penetration already reached the quarter of the Earth’s population, smartphone apps seem to be a viable way to go against skin conditions. Here, we collected the top dermatology apps to aid your digital skin care. As smartphones take over the world, dermatology apps multiply As technology continues to advance, so too does its accessibility to the general population. In 2013, only 56 percent of Americans owned ...

Critical appraisal of oral squamous cell carcinoma management —a case report
Squamous cell carcinoma is the most frequent oral malignant neoplasm. Early diagnosis is key in successful treatment of this neoplasia. The aims of this study are to report a case of an aggressive squamous cell carcinoma, to discuss the factors involved in the late diagnosis of an advanced lesion, and to make a critical appraisal of the Brazilian health system and the difficulties found in referring these patients. A male patient, 50 years of age with a history of chronic alcoholism and tobacco use, presented with a proliferative ulcer with an indurated, raised margin, involving the left palate, the lower gingiva, and the ...

Demographic characteristics of patients with actinic cheilitis in labial mucosa diagnosed in 2 oncologic care centers
ConclusionsThe use of sunscreen was effective in the prevention of squamous cell carcinoma in lip, and the absent of follow-up care in patients with actinic cheilitis can influence the rates of malignization to squamous cell carcinoma, because the patients does not change the habits and the dentist cannot identify earlier the malignization of actinic cheilitis.

Perspectives on Dermoscopy in the Primary Care Setting
Conclusion: Our sample of PCPs in the United States showed that although few use dermoscopy, most perceive it as a useful tool, particularly family medicine physicians. The main reported barriers preventing its use included the lack of training and poor access to dermatoscopes. The vast majority of PCPs in our sample want to be trained in dermoscopy, thereby providing an opportunity for educational initiatives that take into account the barriers and preferred learning strategies.

Critical Role of PET in Assessing Head and Neck Cancer and Related Disorders
Conclusion: Many studies have looked at the impact of PET on tumor staging, however, there is still more future work to be done to fully characterize the use of PET in head and neck disorders. It is still unclear which quantification methods have the best prognostic utility to predict outcomes. Some retrospective studies have suggested the use of SUVmax, while the PET parameters SUVmean, metabolic tumor volume (MTV), or total lesion glycolysis (TLG) have recently been introduced to show better correlation with prognosis. There is a respectable amount of retrospective literature evaluating PET for staging and diagnosis of H...

Big Tech In Medicine: How Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Google, IBM & NVIDIA Disrupt Healthcare
We’ve spent a good part of our summer writing about Big Tech and how these companies, Amazon, Google/Alphabet, Microsoft, Apple, IBM and NVIDIA have approached medicine and its trillion-dollar market possibilities. These six companies have the most projects in healthcare, and their presence is not negligible at all: they all have the power and the incentive to transform and help digitise this market. Moreover, all of these companies have something peculiar and very unique to give. Amazon’s distribution network can change the way we think of pharmacies in the future. Microsoft can bring steadiness, reason and predict...

The Prevalence of Human Papillomavirus-Positive Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma at One of the Largest Tertiary Care Centers in Sub-Saharan Africa
CONCLUSIONS.—: The presence of high-risk HPV in 5% of cases suggests that high-risk HPV is a minor etiologic agent in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma in this region. Given its suboptimal positive predictive value, p16 is not a reliable marker for high-risk HPV infection in this region. When p16 is positive, HPV-specific testing is necessary. The identification of less common high-risk HPV types, HPV-52 and HPV-31, may influence current local vaccination strategies.PMID:34871360 | DOI:10.5858/arpa.2021-0021-OA

Palmitoylation of GNAQ/11 is critical for tumor cell proliferation and survival in GNAQ/11-mutant uveal melanoma
AbstractMore than 85% of patients with uveal melanoma (UM) carry aGNAQ orGNA11 mutation at a hotspot codon (Q209) that encodes G protein α subunit q/11 polypeptides (Gαq/11). GNAQ/11 relies on palmitoylation for membrane association and signal transduction. Despite the palmitoylation of GNAQ/11 was discovered long before, its implication in UM remains unclear. Here, results of palmitoylation-targeted mutagenesis and chemical interference approaches revealed that the loss of GNAQ/11 palmitoylation substantially affected tumor cell proliferation and survival in UM cells. Palmitoylation inhibition through the mutation of pa...
