The Influence of Popular Media on Public Interest in Red-Light Therapy: Longitudinal Trend Analysis

The Influence of Popular Media on Public Interest in Red-Light Therapy: Longitudinal Trend Analysis

This surge in interest presents both opportunities and challenges for dermatology practitioners and the broader medical community. The rapid adoption of consumer-grade devices, often supported by inconsistent treatment protocols, raises concerns about patient safety and the need for professional oversight.

Artificial Intelligence in Patch Testing: Comprehensive Review of Current Applications and Future Prospects in Dermatology

Artificial Intelligence in Patch Testing: Comprehensive Review of Current Applications and Future Prospects in Dermatology

These AI technologies have shown promising applications in dermatology, ranging from identifying skin malignancies to classifying inflammatory skin conditions and analyzing clinical notes. The visual nature of dermatology, combined with the increasing volume of clinical photographs, dermoscopy images, abundance of psychometric data from wearable devices, and electronic health records, makes it particularly well-suited for AI-augmented patient care [6-8].

The Quality of Dermatology Match Information on Social Media Platforms: Cross-Sectional Analysis

The Quality of Dermatology Match Information on Social Media Platforms: Cross-Sectional Analysis

Our study evaluates the accuracy of dermatology match information on popular social media sites where medical students, residents, and attendings discuss medicine and residency application processes—Reddit, Student Doctor Network (SDN), and Tik Tok. In March 2024, we used the search terms “how to match into dermatology” and “advice for the dermatology match process,” identifying 34 sources and corresponding response comments from Tik Tok (n=10), Reddit (n=14), and SDN (n=10).

Self-Stigma in Adults Living With Chronic Skin Disease: Development of the HautKompass Web-Based Program and Pilot Test of Its Usability, Acceptability, and Feasibility

Self-Stigma in Adults Living With Chronic Skin Disease: Development of the HautKompass Web-Based Program and Pilot Test of Its Usability, Acceptability, and Feasibility

However, few online interventions are available for dermatology [15] and self-stigma, none of which are available in German. To fill this gap, this project aimed to develop a free web-based self-guided program to reduce skin disease–related self-stigma and pilot test its usability, acceptability, and feasibility.

Understanding Dermatologists’ Acceptance of Digital Health Interventions: Cross-Sectional Survey and Cluster Analysis

Understanding Dermatologists’ Acceptance of Digital Health Interventions: Cross-Sectional Survey and Cluster Analysis

Dermatology is marked by the presence of prevalent chronic conditions, including acne, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and skin cancer [1,2]. In Germany, approximately 27% of adults have at least one dermatological condition requiring specialized care each year, resulting in long waiting times for patients [3,4]. Additionally, limited capacity also impacts comprehensive patient consultations, and the demographic shift could exacerbate these challenges [5-7].

Benefits and Limitations of Teledermatology in German Correctional Facilities: Cross-Sectional Analysis

Benefits and Limitations of Teledermatology in German Correctional Facilities: Cross-Sectional Analysis

For dermatology issues, this means complete reliance on external dermatology facilities because none of the more than 280 correctional facilities in Germany provide in-house solutions. Following the principle of equal standard of medical care for prisoners as people living in the community, the scope of medical services in German correctional institutions should correspond to the scope of services provided by the statutory health insurance funds.

Dermatologic Research in Displaced Populations: Importance, Challenges, and Proposed Solutions

Dermatologic Research in Displaced Populations: Importance, Challenges, and Proposed Solutions

Additional barriers to research specifically apply to dermatology. Notably, screening guidelines for skin diseases vary internationally; the lack of shared guidelines poses a challenge to the design of systematic research on cutaneous conditions and the consistent provision of care [2,3]. It is also important to consider that the process of forced displacement often involves physical abuse and torture [2].

Informed Consent Practices for Publication of Patient Images in Dermatology Journals

Informed Consent Practices for Publication of Patient Images in Dermatology Journals

Clinical images play an important role in informing clinical care and education in dermatology. Standardized informed consent for publishing patient images is an important concern regarding patient privacy, especially given increasing avenues for dissemination (eg, online publication and social media) [1,2]. Protecting patient privacy is a critical aim for dermatologists, as publishing images with potentially identifiable features is often necessary.

Evaluating the Diagnostic Accuracy of ChatGPT-4 Omni and ChatGPT-4 Turbo in Identifying Melanoma: Comparative Study

Evaluating the Diagnostic Accuracy of ChatGPT-4 Omni and ChatGPT-4 Turbo in Identifying Melanoma: Comparative Study

While studies have demonstrated AI’s mixed precision and accuracy, the technology is poised to assist with data-driven diagnostics in dermatology [2]. There has a been rapid popularization of the LLM, Chat GPT for home-based medical inquiries [3]. Minimal research exists on Chat GPT’s accuracy in detecting melanoma.

Perspectives of Black, Latinx, Indigenous, and Asian Communities on Health Data Use and AI: Cross-Sectional Survey Study

Perspectives of Black, Latinx, Indigenous, and Asian Communities on Health Data Use and AI: Cross-Sectional Survey Study

While familiarity with AI was high, a smaller proportion of participants understood how AI can be used in health care (152/199, 76.4%), and an even smaller proportion understood how AI can be applied to dermatology (133/199, 66.8%). These outcomes did not vary significantly when stratifying by demographics such as race, age, gender, income, insurance type, or schooling (all P>.05).
