Medical technology is far from reaching its full potential. An area that is currently expanding is that of precision medicine. The aim of this article is to present an application of precision medicine-a deep-learning approach to computer-aided diagnosis in the field of dermatology.

The main dataset was proposed in the edition of the ISIC Challenge that took place in 2019 and included 25331 dermoscopic images from eight different categories of lesions-three of them were malignant and five benign. The behavior of the model was also tested on a dataset collected from the second Department of Dermatology, of the Colentina Clinical Hospital.

The overall accuracy of the model was 78.11%. (R)-2-Hydroxyglutarate inhibitor Of the total 5031 samples included in the test subset, 3958 were correctly classified. The accuracy of the model on the clinical dataset is lower than that obtained in the first instance.

The architecture of the model can be considered of general use, being able to be adapted in an optimal way for a wide range of classifications. The model has achieved performance within the expected limits but can be further improved by new methods.

The bis-triazole ligand was prepared from methyl 1,6-heptadiyne-4-carboxylate and 2-(azidomethyl)phenol using classical CuAAC in presence of different copper salts. The X-ray structure of bis-triazole showed a symmetry center (C1). UV-Vis and X-band EPR spectra showed that the coordination capacity of the bis-triazole ligand was improved in the presence of triethylamine due to deprotonation of the triazole and phenolate moieties. After complexation with copper, the obtained complex was successfully attached to an anti-estradiol aptamer through thiol-maleimide coupling, and the resulting labelled aptamer was immobilized on a carbon screen-printed electrode by carbodiimide coupling. The electrochemical response of the resulting sensor was shown to decrease in the presence of estradiol, demonstrating that the developed complexes can be applied for the development of aptasensors.

To assess the agreement, after 1-month application of a popular and efficient anti-aging product, between self-perceived facial signs of aging and those detected and graded by an automatic A.I-based system, using smartphones’ selfie images.

Of 1065 Chinese women, aged 18-60years, from eight different Chinese cities were recruited. They were asked to apply daily, for 1month, a referential anti-aging product onto their whole face. Selfie images were taken by all subjects at D

and D

and sent to our facilities for being analyzed through 10 different facial signs. At D

, all subjects were asked to fill a questionnaire on the status of their faces, through six general statements.

A global agreement between both approaches is reached, particularly among women older than 40years where the severity of facial signs is already more pronounced or among younger women who present at least facial signs scored above one grading units. This limit becomes, therefore, a prerequisite in the recruitment of Chinese subjects in the case of anti-aging applied studies and possible automatically based on automatic grading system. When respecting such conditions, the positive effects of the product on most facial signs can be demonstrated after 28days of successive applications.

Such methodological approach paves the road in fulfilling the need of consumers of a better transparency in the claims of an anti-aging product.

Adherence to direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in patients with atrial fibrillation in every day practice may be less than in clinical trials.

To assess adherence to DOACs in atrial fibrillation patients in every day practice and identify predictors for non-adherence.

Individual linked dispensing data of atrial fibrillation patients who used DOACs were obtained from the Foundation for Pharmaceutical Statistics covering the Netherlands between 2012 and 2016. One year adherence to DOAC was calculated for initial DOAC as proportion of days covered (PDC) ≥80% and the association between clinical variables and adherence was assessed using logistic regression. In addition, we measured non-persistence, that is, patients who completely stopped their initial DOAC within 1 year follow-up.

A total of 4797 apixaban-, 20 454 rivaroxaban- and 18 477 dabigatran users were included. The mean age was 69 years (n=43 910), which was similar for the DOAC types. The overall proportion of patients with PDC ≥80% was 76%, which was highest for apixaban- (87%), followed by dabigatran- (80%) and rivaroxaban (69%) users. Multivariable analyses revealed that age ≤60 years, no concomitant drug use were predictors for non-adherence. Of atrial fibrillation patients who continued treatment, 97% had a PDC ≥80%, compared with only 56% for those who discontinued their DOAC treatment within 1 year.

Non-adherence to DOACs was associated with age ≤60 years and no concomitant drugs use. Non-adherence was higher in patients who later discontinued DOAC treatment. Results of our study support research into interventions to improve adherence.
