Dermoscopy Two Step Algorithm vs PsoriasisCalc

This app is intended to help you interpret the dermoscopic patterns seen with your dermatoscope. You will be asked a series of questions that will lead you to the most probable diagnosis. This app also contains over 80 photos and charts to help you in your diagnosis. No internet connection needed to view the full app. It is all ready for super quick image and information retrieval. There are also 50 interactive cases to solve. Each case starts with a clinical and dermoscopic image and ends with a labelled dermoscopic image pointing out critical structures. This app is based on the 2 step algorithm with the first step involving the determination of whether the lesion is a melanocytic. Melanocytic lesions will be divided into nevi or lesions with varying levels of suspicion for melanoma based on melanoma specific patterns and common nevi patterns. Non-melanocytic lesions will be analyzed to determine if they are suspicious for basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma. Common benign lesions such as dermatofibroma, seborrheic keratoses and hemangiomas will be positively identified to avoid unnecessary biopsies. This app will increase your ability to detect skin cancers with greater accuracy thereby decreasing unnecessary biopsies and missing less early melanomas and nonmelanoma skin cancers.

Disclaimer: While this app may help you in rendering a correct diagnosis, it is not intended to entirely replace the findings on patient history and physical examination including examination of the lesion with side lighting and touch. The final diagnosis rests on properly assimilating the information gained from the patient history, thorough naked eye physical examination, and meticulous dermoscopic inspection of the lesion. 3Gen, Inc. is the sponsor of this app. Visit www.dermlite.com to see their complete line of skin imaging devices.

Psoriasis Calc is a practical and complete tool for any doctor who deals with psoriasis patients (dermatologists, rheumatologists, general practitioners, etc.). Psoriasis Calc: · Facilitates the use of severity scales in psoriasis. · It takes advantage of the simplicity and the speed provided by smartphones to allow the user to introduce the needed data. · Provides information to the physician to determine the existing comorbilities in psoriatic patients. Texts are presented in both, English and Spanish. This application includes the following calculators: * BSA: The percentage of skin surface affected by psoriasis. The calculation is performed for each affected part of the body, by direct estimation or using the rule of the palm (1 patient palm, including palm and fingers represents 1% of his/her body surface). * PASI: This is a classic scale assessment of the severity of psoriasis developed in 1978. Its values range from 0 to 72. The severity calculation is performed separately: the head including neck, trunk, the upper limbs and lower limbs including the buttocks. It includes the automatic calculation of PASI 50, PASI 75 and PASI 90, useful to define the treatment end point and efficacy. * NAPSI: The signs of psoriasis disease in the nail bed and/or nail matrix are easily registered in a four quadrant scheme of each nail. PsoriasisCalc calculates the NAPSI index. * COMORBIDITIES: This functionality is designed to facilitate the detection of the most common comorbidities of patients with psoriasis. It is based on the study performed by the Spanish Group for the Study of Psoriasis which, after conducting an exhaustive synthesis of the literature so far, proposed a practical decisión algorithm. It will be to the discretion of the physician the interpretation of the conclusions provided by PsoriasisCalc, based on each particular patient clinical context. No allusion is made to drug treatments, which are the sole decision of the practitioner in charge.
