Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

5.8K
Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

Defining Psychology01:24

Defining Psychology

7.6K
Psychology is the scientific discipline dedicated to understanding both observable behavior and the internal mental processes underlying such behavior. It aims to comprehend human nature and apply this understanding to solve practical problems, enhance well-being, and improve societal outcomes. An example of psychology's application is the study of prosocial behavior, such as why and under what conditions individuals might help strangers in need. This process involves describing observed...

Defining Social Psychology

377
Social psychology investigates how the presence and actions of others influence individual behavior, cognition, and emotion. Examining the social environment's impact provides a scientific framework for understanding how individuals perceive others and are, in turn, influenced by them. This field seeks to uncover the underlying principles guiding social interactions, exploring phenomena such as conformity, obedience, and prosocial behavior.Core Themes in Social PsychologyOne central focus of...

Polymers: Defining Molecular Weight01:01

Polymers: Defining Molecular Weight

3.8K
Unlike small molecules with definite molecular weights, polymers are a mixture of individual polymer chains of varying lengths, each with a unique molecular weight.  So, the molecular weight of a polymer is expressed as an average value based on the average size of the polymer chains. The two most common forms of averages used for polymers are the number average molecular weight and weight average molecular weight.
The number average molecular weight (Mn) is the summation of the number...

Local Attraction01:22

Local Attraction

366
Local attraction refers to disturbances in compass readings caused by magnetic influences from nearby objects such as metal fences, buried pipes, vehicles, buildings, power lines, or natural iron ore deposits. Small items like wristwatches, steel tools, or belt buckles can also interfere with the compass by creating local magnetic fields that distort the Earth's natural magnetic field. These distortions lead to inaccurate readings, posing navigation and land surveying challenges.Local...

Sensory Functions of the Skin01:16

Sensory Functions of the Skin

8.0K
The skin is the largest organ of the human body and plays a crucial role in our sensory perception. It contains a vast network of sensory receptors that contribute to the skin's protective function by perceiving physical, biological, and environmental cues and generating relevant responses.
There are two main categories of receptors on the skin: capsulated and non-capsulated. The non-capsulated ones are mainly the pain receptors. The capsulated ones can be further categorized based on the...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Oncology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Skin cancer recurrence definitions lack standardization across medical disciplines.
  • Inconsistent definitions complicate tumor management and may affect metastasis assessment.
  • Current criteria for recurrence are often vague, hindering accurate patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the need for a universal definition of localized skin cancer recurrence.
  • To emphasize the importance of standardized criteria for improved patient outcomes.
  • To advocate for consistent definitions to guide surveillance and treatment strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review across disciplines involved in skin cancer patient care.
  • Analysis of existing criteria for defining skin cancer recurrence.
  • Identification of inconsistencies and vagueness in current definitions.

Main Results:

  • Definitions of skin cancer recurrence are highly variable and nonstandardized.
  • Existing criteria, though present in most literature, are frequently vague.
  • Lack of standardization impacts tumor management and outcome measurement.

Conclusions:

  • A universal definition of localized skin cancer recurrence is essential.
  • Standardized definitions will improve patient surveillance and therapeutic strategies.
  • Consistent criteria are necessary for value-based healthcare and tracking comparable outcomes.
