Full textHudcancer är en av de mest förekommande typerna av cancer i världen. Det vanligaste sättet att diagnosticera hudcancer är för en dermatolog att analysera hudsår på en patients kropp. Dagens medicinsk diagnostik använder en etablerad mängd beteckningar för olika typer av hudsår. Ett alternativ till denna typ av diagnostisering skulle kunna vara att låta en dator utan förkunskap om datan (bilder på hudsår) sköta analysen. Denna katogorisering skulle sedan kunna jämföras med de existerande medicinska katogorierna som varje bild fått. För att undersöka detta användes tre algoritmer av typen oövervakat lärande för att producera kluster-indelningar på ett dataset innehållandes bilder på hudsår. Dessa algoritmer var K-means, agglomerative clustering, och spectral clustering. Vi fann inga uppenbara kluster-indelningar och ingen koppling mellan de nuvarande medicinska beteckningarna. Den indelning av kluster som fick högst poäng när den evaluaredes internt var den indelning av kluster genererad av spectral clustering. Detta skedde när antalet kluster som algoritmen skulle dela upp datan i var satt till två. En djupare undersökning i strukturen av denna indelning visade att ett av klustrerna i princip innehöll varje bild. Även fast Silhouette-värdet för denna indelning var låg, pekar värdet på att den underliggande strukturen bäst kan representeras av ett enda kluster.

Full textOBJECTIVES: Skin cancer is particularly prevalent in Arizona, with incidence rates ranking number two worldwide. Pharmacists are useful advocates for educating patients about the risks of skin cancer and methods of prevention. This study was conducted to assess pharmacists’ knowledge of skin cancer and their demographics and to evaluate how these factors impact skin cancer prevention patient counseling. METHODS: Participants were recruited using a listserv from pharmacists that were members of the Arizona Pharmacy Alliance or preceptors of the University of Arizona College of Pharmacy. Subjects completed an online questionnaire consisting of knowledge- based questions, questions about patient counseling preferences and subject demographics. RESULTS: The average score by pharmacists on the Skin Cancer and Sun Exposure Knowledge Indicator was 5.8 + 1.9. Pharmacists living in Arizona for longer times were more likely to know the minimum recommended SPF of sunscreen for adults to use when outdoors (p=0.003) and the factors associated with malignant melanoma prognosis/survival (p=0.004), but were less likely to know the definition of ABCD acronym (p=0.027). Having a family or friend diagnosed with any form of skin cancer or precancerous skin condition led to more pharmacists knowing the risk factors for developing melanoma (p=0.046) and knowing how often to apply water resistant sunscreen (p=0.035). CONCLUSIONS: The length of pharmacy practice in Arizona and having a family member or close friend affected by skin cancer significantly impacted a pharmacists’ knowledge of skin cancer.

Full textTiivistelmä Iho on elimistön suurin elin, ja se suojaa meitä auringon ultravioletti (UV)-säteilyltä ja muilta ulkoisilta tekijöiltä. UV-säteily on yhteinen etiologinen tekijä ihon levyepiteelikarsinoomalle ja melanoomalle, jotka aiheuttavat maailmanlaatuisesti paljon sairastavuutta ja kuolleisuutta. Reaktiivisia happiradikaaleja muodostuu esimerkiksi soluhengityksestä ja UV-säteilystä, ja ne voivat reagoida minkä tahansa makromolekyylin kanssa aiheuttaen vaurioita solun perimäainekseen, proteiineihin ja lipidirakenteisiin. Oksidatiivisen stressin (OS) säätely on tärkeä homeostaattinen prosessi, joka vinoutuu syöpäsolujen hyödyksi. Nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) on antioksidanttivasteen pääsäätelytekijä, ja sen ilmentyminen on lisääntynyt useissa syövissä lisäten syöpäsolun selviytymistä ja kasvua. Tutkimme potilasaineiston ja immunohistokemian avulla OS:n merkkiaineiden muutoksia melanoomassa ja niiden merkitsevyyttä taudin ennusteelle. Nrf2:n ilmentyminen on lisääntynyt melanoomassa liittyen syvempään invaasioon ja huonompaan tautispesifiseen ennusteeseen. Lisäksi epiteliaali-mesenkymaalitransition merkkiaineiden, Slug, Twist ja Zeb1 ekspression muutoksia havaittiin syvyyskasvun ja metastasoinnin yhteydessä assosioituen myös Nrf2 ilmentymiseen. In vitro- tutkimus osoitti spesifisten inhibiittoreiden avulla, että BRAF- ja NRAS-mutaatiot saattavat aktivoida Nrf2 melanoomassa. Myös Nrf2:n säätelemän entsyymin peroksiredoksiini I:n ilmentyminen on vähentynyt melanoomassa ja metastaaseissa verrattuna hyvänlaatuisiin pigmenttiluomiin. Merkittäviä muutoksia havaittiin myös melanoomaa ympäröivistä rakenteista, esimerkiksi OS:n vauriomarkkerin 8-hydroksi-2’-deoksiguanosiinin vähentynyt ilmentyminen endoteelisoluissa liittyi huonompaan tautispesifiseen ennusteeseen. Lisäksi tutkimme soluväliliitosproteiinien klaudiinien 1–5 sekä 7 ilmentymistä levyepiteelikarsinoomissa ja niiden esiasteissa. Klaudiinien muutokset voivat vaikuttaa ihon permeabiliteettiin ja solujen polarisaatioon. Onkologisten hoitomuotojen teho perustuu usein happiradikaalien aiheuttamiin vaurioihin. Nrf2-inhibitio voisi tarjota keinon lisätä syöpäkudoksen herkkyyttä näille vaurioille sekä estää syöpäsolun selviytymissignalointia. Tulevat tutkimukset tulisivat keskittyä Nrf2 signaloinnin ja muun solusignaloinnin välisiin suhteisiin sekä havaintoihin kasvaimen mikroympäristön muutoksista

Full textEn aquesta tesi s'investiga el desenvolupament de noves tècniques de visió per computador per a la detecció del càncer de pell. La primera part del treball presenta una nova metodologia per a la correcció del color en imatges dermatològiques quan s'utilitzen diferents càmeres i/o els dermatoscops. A continuació és proposa una solució al problema del registre automàtic d'imatges de cos complert amb la proposta d’un mètode de mosaicing basat en l'ús de càmeres compactes i un conjunt de markers. Incrementant les possibilitats de la fotografia de cos complert mitjançant la combinació automàtica d’imatges de baixa resuloció per a l'obtenció d'un fotomosaic d’alta resolució. La tercera contribució d'aquest treball consisteix en el desenvolupament d'un escàner de cos complert per a l'adquisició d'imatges cutànies. D'una banda l'escàner redueix el llarg temps necessari per a les exploracions dermatoscòpiques, i de l'altre, incrementa la resolució de la fotografia de cos complet.
