Computer aided analysis of skin lesions
Effective screening to detect the skin cancer accurately in the early stage is essential for reducing the mortality of skin cancer. Surface features, such as texture and pigmentation area from the surface, epi-illumination images of the skin lesions have been well correlated to detect skin cancer. …

Multi-spectral light interaction modeling and imaging of skin lesions
… wavelength dependent voxel-based models of skin lesions with different depths are proposed. A Monte Carlo simulation algorithm (MCSVL) is developed in MATLAB and the tissue models are simulated using the Nevoscope optical geometry. 350-700nm optical wavelengths with an interval of 5nm are …

Novel Cutaneous Human Papillomaviruses and Biomarkers in the Skin Lesions
Non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), comprising of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and basal cell carcinoma (BCC), is the most prevalent cancer amongst Caucasians. The main risk factor for the development of NMSC is UV-irradiation but human papillo-mavirus (HPV) might be a co-factor. We extended the …

Automated classification of malignant melanoma based on detection of atypical pigment network in dermoscopy images of skin lesions
… causes more deaths than any other form of skin cancer. Early melanoma detection is important to prevent progression to a more deadly stage. Automated computer-based identification of melanoma from dermoscopic images of skin lesions is the most efficient method in early diagnosis. An …

Prevalence of the related treponematoses syphilis and yaws and co-occurrence of pathogens causing similar skin lesions in Ghana
… the co-occurrence of pathogens causing similar skin lesions in the Ashanti region of Ghana. A point-of-care test was used to determine their seroprevalence. Multiplex PCR and 16S rRNA gene sequencing were used to identify other microorganisms in these lesions. Additionally, 16S rRNA gene …

The application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to the triage of suspicious skin lesions and the detection of skin cancer in primary care clinical settings
… Intelligence (AI) to the triage of suspicious skin lesions and the detection of skin cancer in primary care clinical settings Background Skin cancers, including melanoma and the keratinocyte carcinomas (Basal Cell Carcinomas and Squamous Cell Carcinomas) are the most common cancers worldwide …

Clinical-view versus ELM: an investigation into image types in the context of skin lesion screening
Melanoma, the most serious form of skin cancer, is increasing in incidence in countries with predominantly white skinned populations. Automated tools have been proposed to help detect this most visible of cancers. Current automated systems for detecting melanoma analyse images of skin lesions for …

Severe Hand Foot and Mouth Disease in Vietnamese Children: Clinical Features and Management Strategies
… the the 2011-2012 Vietnam outbreak. Fever, skin rash, and myoclonic jerks happened in the early stage while the more severe features, including hypertension, tachypnea, irregular breathing, pulmonary edema and shock occurred after day 3. Most severe features were associated with EV-A71 …

Dermoscopy in general practice: insights for clinical use and training
The incidence of skin cancers of all types continue to rise across many highly developed countries including the UK and Ireland. This includes melanoma, the most dangerous form of skin cancer due to its propensity for early metastasis. Key to its successful management is early recognition and …
