Background and objective Atypical nevus syndrome has been described as one of the main risk factors for melanoma. The aim of this study was to analyze dermoscopic changes observed in melanocytic lesions over a follow-up […]
Objective Stroke is acknowledged as a devastating complication post coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (CABG), that may reduce the quality of life and increase mortality. The incidence of post-CABG stroke results in more hospital mortality, […]
Distinguishing between congenital and infantile hemangiomas is challenging, but essential for appropriate treatment. The immunohistochemical marker glucose transporter type 1 is helpful, but biopsies are uncommon in this setting. The aim of this retrospective study […]
Introduction Older patients are more likely to have cognitive dysfunction, and a great proportion of patients undergone surgical procedures are older adults. Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) has been shown as a consistent complication after major […]
Introduction Alexithymia is a neuropsychiatric symptom conceptualized as difficulty identifying and describing feelings. Although associated with other non-motor symptoms, mainly neuropsychiatric, alexithymia may present as an isolated symptom in persons with Parkinson's Disease (PwP). The […]
Objective The aim of the study was to investigate the diagnostic value of an interferon gamma release assay (IGRA) – QuantiFERON-TB GOLD in-tube (QFT-GIT) – to identify new cases of active pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) in […]

Objective Patients with nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC)—ie, basal cell carcinoma (BCC) or squamous cell carcinoma (SCC)—have an increased risk of developing a second skin cancer. The aim of this study was to describe the frequency, […]
Background and objective Acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM) arises in areas that are not generally exposed to UV radiation. Chronic trauma has been hypothesized to play a role in the development of this tumor. The aim […]
Dedicated dermoscopy units assess individuals at high risk for melanoma. Understanding the reasons for referral to these units and the epidemiological profile of referred patients can help optimize health care resources and determine who benefits […]
