TLDR Deep learning helps detect skin conditions and is advancing dermatology diagnosis and treatment.

This systematic review examines the use of deep learning in detecting dermatological conditions from dermoscopic images, covering 22 methods for various skin issues including basal cell carcinoma, melanoma, and acne among others. It discusses the integration of artificial intelligence with clinical diagnostics, proposes a categorization for these detection methods, and provides a comprehensive summary of them. The review also lists available datasets for computer-aided detection and highlights the challenges and future research directions in this field. The paper aims to inform researchers about the latest developments in deep learning for dermatology and to keep dermatologists updated on technological advancements that can aid in early diagnosis and treatment of skin diseases.

community Verteporfin and Microneedling

in Treatments 5 months ago

Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.

community If anyone else feels like they’re too far gone for a hair transplant or can’t tolerate finasteride, I highly recommend trying a hair system! You have nothing to lose and it can change your life. I understand the worries and concerns, as I was very nervous/scared before taking the leap. AMA

community Discussion: Evidence Refuting the "24-Hour Rule" for Minoxidil and Dermarolling

in Treatment 9 upvotes 4 years ago

The 24-hour waiting period after dermarolling before applying minoxidil is unnecessary. New research supports the simultaneous application of minoxidil with microneedling for better hair growth results.
