Dermoscopy is a non-invasive in vivo technique to help visualize morphological structures on the surface and subsurface of the skin, non-visible with the naked eye. It is tipically used to improve the diagnostic accuracy of pigmented skin lesions and skin tumors, but in recent years its use has been extended to other dermatological conditions. The use of polarized light in dermoscopy allows a better...
Chickenpox is caused by the varicella-zoster virus (a member of the herpes virus family), which can be spread through the air or by direct contact with an infected person. It produces an itchy, blistery rash that typically lasts about a week and is sometimes accompanied by a fever or other symptoms but primarily manifested by numerous blisters. A single attack of chickenpox almost always brings lifelong...
In this study, we investigate what a practically useful approach is in order to achieve robust skin disease diagnosis. A direct approach is to target the ground truth diagnosis labels, while an alternative approach instead focuses on determining skin lesion characteristics that are more visually consistent and discernible. We argue that, for computer aided skin disease diagnosis, it is both more realistic...
Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin disease that spreads worldwide and damages the skin or other body tissues. However, normal visual clinical examination is not always sufficient to determine the feature of the lesions. In this research, we focus on a background removal method that support to enhance the ratio contrast of scalingagainst erythema to skin background in polarized psoriasis images. Those...
Some actual problems of electronic instrument engineering in the field of reflexotherapy were revealed following the works of researchers of Interuniversity Laboratory for Medical Electronics in NSTU. It is shown that the main problems in the considered field are: 1) realization, clinical testing and inclusion into medical practice of the multifunctional device for reflexotherapy with spatial and...
The research presented in this paper aims at developing and validating a predictive tool of individual exposure to solar Ultra-Violet (UV). UV exposure depends on ambient irradiation level and individual factors related to activity (position to the sun, clothing, duration of exposure, and other forms of sun protection). We predict exposure levels of body parts on basis of ambient irradiation levels...
