Despite the existence of many algorithms for automated diagnosis of melanoma and other skin cancers, these remain almost inaccessible to public health service. A small number of publications on the efficacy of existing artificial intelligence systems marks the problems of their implementation into current examination routines in dermatology and oncology. New algorithms and software solutions as well as studies demonstrating their diagnostic accuracy on compatible and verifiable clinical material are still in demand.

The educational needs must drive the development of the appropriate technology”. They should not be viewed as toys for enthusiasts. Nevertheless, the human element must never be dismissed. Scientific research will continue to offer exciting technologies and effective treatments. For the profession and the patients, it serves to benefit fully from modern science, new knowledge and technologies must be incorporated into the mainstream of dental education. The technologies of modern science have astonished and intrigued our imagination. Correct diagnosis is the key to a successful clinical practice. In this regard, adequately trained neural networks can be a boon to diagnosticians, especially in conditions having multifactorial etiology.

The SARS-CoV2 pandemic has impacted risk management globally. Blockchain has been increasingly applied to healthcare management, as a strategic tool to strengthen operative protocols and to create the proper basis for an efficient and effective evidence-based decisional process. We aim to validate blockchain in healthcare, and to suggest a trace-route for a COVID19-safe clinical practice. The use of blockchain in combination with artificial intelligence systems allows the creation of a generalizable predictive system that could contribute to the containment of pandemic risk on national territory. A SWOT analysis of the adoption of a blockchain-based prediction model in healthcare and SARS-CoV-2 infection has been carried out to underline opportunities and limits to its adoption. Blockchain could play a strategic role in future digital healthcare: specifically, it may work to improve COVID19-safe clinical practice. The main concepts, and particularly those related to clinical workflow, obtainable from different blockchain-based models have been reported here and critically discussed.

This article introduces management algorithms to support operators in choosing the best strategy for metabolic management during cardiopulmonary bypass using artificial intelligence systems. We developed algorithms for the identification of the optimal way for assessing metabolic parameters. Different management algorithms for extracorporeal procedures interfaced with metabolic monitoring systems already exist on the market and are applied in clinical practice. These algorithms could provide guidance for selecting the best metabolic strategy with the aim at reducing human error and optimizing management.

As an important interface with the healthcare system for many patients, pharmacists are in a unique position to assist patients with quitting smoking, thereby improving patients’ pulmonary health. Because nicotine replacement therapy products and bupropion are available to patients largely via pharmacies, the pharmacist has become a logical candidate for providing smoking cessation assistance. Furthermore, research has shown that when pharmacists counsel patients on medications for quitting smoking, their intervention positively impacts smoking cessation rates. This article provides a review of methods for cessation and provides pharmacists with feasible and effective smoking cessation counseling strategies for implementation into everyday practice. The intervention approach draws heavily upon the U.S. Public Health Service Clinical Practice Guideline for Treating Tobacco Use and Dependence.

INTRODUCTION: The research evaluates a series of publications on the machine recognition efficacy of cutaneous melanoma dermatoscopic images. Some authors report high sensitivity and specificity of automated diagnostics of skin tumors. Significant differences in the published data can be attributed to the use of different algorithms and groups of skin neoplasms to calculate the accuracy rate. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The diagnostic performance of two automated artificial intelligence systems is compared. RESULTS: The convolutional neural network algorithm improves the overall diagnostic accuracy by 7% compared to the algorithm without deep learning, while the overall accuracy rate was 78%. An initial set of 100 dermatoscopic images used in the study is published online for the assessment of the applicability of the obtained data when introducing existing artificial intelligence systems. CONCLUSION: The main limitations and possible ways to further improve the automated diagnosis of skin tumors based on digital dermatoscopy are outlined.
