(Press-News.org) JMIR Dermatology Editor-in-Chief: Robert Dellavalle, MD, PhD, MSPH and guest editors James A Solomon, MD, PhD, FAAD and Ian Brooks, PhD welcome submissions to a special theme issue examining "Artificial Intelligence (AI) and ChatGPT in Dermatology."
JMIR Dermatology welcomes all topics related to diseases of the skin, hair, and nails, with a wide breadth and depth of papers focusing on AI applications. All topics at the intersection of dermatology, AI, and ChatGPT are eligible for this theme issue.
The journal places a special emphasis on exchanging clinical information, providing education, facilitating diagnosis and care, and promoting dermatological health globally.
Dermatologists can use ChatGPT in clinical practice and research in several ways, including:
Virtual consultations: ChatGPT can be used to provide virtual consultations to patients who cannot visit a dermatologist in person. Dermatologists can program ChatGPT to ask relevant questions about the patient’s skin condition, medical history, and symptoms. Based on the patient’s responses, ChatGPT can provide recommendations or refer the patient to a dermatologist for further evaluation.
Patient recruitment: ChatGPT can be used to identify and recruit patients for clinical trials or research studies. ChatGPT can engage with potential study participants and collect preliminary information about their eligibility and interest in participating in the study.
Literature review: ChatGPT can be used to conduct literature reviews related to dermatology. It can be programmed to search for and analyze relevant articles and summarize the key findings.
Education: Dermatologists can use ChatGPT to educate patients about skin conditions, treatments, and prevention. They can program ChatGPT to provide information about specific skin conditions, recommended treatments, and preventive measures.
Research: ChatGPT can be trained to recognize patterns in the data and provide insights that may not be immediately apparent to the researchers. Natural language processing (NLP) can be used to analyze large amounts of textual data related to dermatology, such as electronic medical records, patient feedback, or social media posts. ChatGPT can be trained to recognize patterns in the data and provide insights into patient experiences, treatment outcomes, and disease prevalence.
Patient follow-up: Dermatologists can use ChatGPT to follow up with patients after a consultation or treatment. ChatGPT can ask patients about their progress and any side effects or new symptoms. Based on the patient's responses, ChatGPT can provide recommendations or refer the patient to a dermatologist for further evaluation.
JMIR Dermatology welcomes submissions from researchers and practitioners in dermatology, medicine, health care, computer science, and related fields.
The deadline for submissions is December 31, 2023. All accepted manuscripts will be published as part of the JMIR Dermatology special theme issue on AI and ChatGPT in Dermatology.

An artificial intelligence with the ability to look inward and fine tune its own neural network performs better when it chooses diversity over lack of diversity, a new study finds. The resulting diverse neural networks were particularly effective at solving complex tasks.
“We created a test system with a non-human intelligence, an artificial intelligence (AI), to see if the AI would choose diversity over the lack of diversity and if its choice would improve the performance of the AI,” says William Ditto, professor of physics at North Carolina State University, director ...
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Kenneth Davis, professor of atmospheric and climate science at Penn State, will lead a team of 23 investigators from 13 research institutions in a new field campaign supported by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to study surface-atmosphere interactions around Baltimore, Maryland, to see how they influence the city’s climate. The new campaign, called the Coast-Urban-Rural Atmospheric Gradient Experiment (CoURAGE), is expected to start in October 2024 and run through September 2025.
CoURAGE will contribute to the Baltimore Social-Environmental ...
Infants who spent most of their first year in the pandemic have fewer types of bacteria in their gut than infants born earlier, according to a team of developmental psychology researchers.
The findings, published in Scientific Reports, showed that infants whose gut microbes were sampled during the pandemic had lower alpha diversity of the gut microbiome, meaning that there were fewer species of bacteria in the gut. The infants had a lower abundance of Pasteurellaceae and Haemophilus—bacteria that live within humans and can cause various infections—and significantly different beta diversity, which tells us how similar or dissimilar the gut microbiome for ...
A new blood test called p-tau217 shows promise as an Alzheimer's disease biomarker, and when used in a two-step workflow very high accuracy to either identify or exclude brain amyloidosis, the most important and earliest pathology. That is an innovation now presented by researchers at the University of Gothenburg, together with colleagues at University of Lund and in Montreal, Canada.
In recent years, a lot of effort has been put on developing biomarkers in blood that could potentially help to identify Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Tau protein, ...
Vitamin C and other antioxidants stimulate the formation of new blood vessels in lung cancer tumours, a new study from Karolinska Institutet published in The Journal of Clinical Investigation shows. The discovery corroborates the idea that dietary supplements containing antioxidants can accelerate tumour growth and metastasis.
“We’ve found that antioxidants activate a mechanism that causes cancer tumours to form new blood vessels, which is surprising, since it was previously thought that antioxidants have a protective effect,” says study leader Martin Bergö, professor at the ...
HAMILTON, ON (Aug. 31, 2023) – An innovative model of care that offers new mothers psychotherapy delivered by other mothers who have also experienced post-partum depression (PPD) should be implemented in clinical practice, according to researchers at McMaster University.
Researchers worked with nearly 200 mothers over a year and a half, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, and found those receiving treatment from their peers were 11 times more likely to experience remission of their major depressive disorder. The findings of the randomized control trial are published in Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica.
PPD and its associated symptoms affect ...
About The Study: In a randomized clinical trial with 104 participants, psilocybin treatment was associated with a clinically significant sustained reduction in depressive symptoms and functional disability, without serious adverse events. These findings add to increasing evidence that psilocybin—when administered with psychological support—may hold promise as a novel intervention for major depressive disorder.
Authors: Charles L. Raison, M.D., of Usona Institute in Fitchburg, Wisconsin, is the corresponding author.

About The Study: The findings of this study suggest that patients with cancer had a disparate burden of COVID-19 mortality during the winter Omicron wave compared with the general U.S. population. With the emergence of new, immune-evasive SARS-CoV-2 variants, many of which are anticipated to be resistant to monoclonal antibody treatments, strategies to prevent COVID-19 transmission should remain a high priority.
Authors: Chi-Fu Jeffrey Yang, M.D., of Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, is the corresponding ...
An international team of scientists have uncovered an important link between Earth’s early atmosphere and the chemistry of its deep mantle.
The study, which was led by researchers at the University of Portsmouth and University of Montpellier, sheds new light on the evolution of life on our planet and the rise of atmospheric oxygen.
The team investigated magmas formed in ancient subduction zones, where portions of Earth’s crust sink back into the mantle, from a pivotal moment in Earth's history – the Great Oxidation Event (GOE). This event, which is estimated to have happened between 2.1 ...
Ion channels are attractive drug targets due to their importance in health and disease, but finding ways to target a specific ion channel selectively is a major challenge. Now, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and RMIT University in Australia have discovered that ion channels called BK channels have unique openings in their sides, which drug molecules may be able to access. The finding, published Aug. 31 in Nature Chemical Biology, could lead to the development of selective drugs that target the BK channel to treat ...
