“…Our study was conducted at 30× magnification, and blood vessels were visible on unpigmented skin in various parts of the body. Similar observations were made in purebred Arabian horses in studies carried out in the winter months [10].…”

“…There are many differences between summer and winter hair, so it is necessary to limit the conduct of research to specific seasons. Regardless of the assessed area of the body, the skin in the summer was clearly darker compared with the result obtained in winter [ 10 ]. Hair thickness during the summer ranged from 44.82 µ m (neck) to 75 µ m (mane), while in the winter, it ranged from 52.70 (chest) to 87.45 µ m (tail) [ 10 ].…”

Videodermoscopy is a method that enables the examination of many parameters of the skin and its structures. The aim of this study was to assess specific dermoscopic parameters in purebred Arabian horses during the summer. The study involved 21 clinically healthy purebred Arabian horses (18 mares and three stallions) that had not been used for breeding and were 1 to 25 years old. The videoderoscopic evaluation was performed on seven selected areas of the body: forehead, mane, neck, chest, flank, rump, and tail. The tests were carried out with Vidix and Olympus cellSens specialised software. Videodermoscopy revealed that the skin was pigmented in all of the bay horses, in one of the seal brown horses, and in the 10 grey horses. Only one grey horse and one chestnut horse had unpigmented skin. Hair thickness ranged from 44.82 µm (neck) to 75 µm (mane). Regarding the amount of hair in the field of view, the highest and lowest numbers of hairs were found on the neck (3,004) and mane (990), respectively. A valuable insight obtained from our research is that it is possible to use digital image analysis for precise quantitative and qualitative evaluations of the skin and its structures.

BackgroundTo better compare the progression of dark circles and the aging process in Chinese skin. A total of 100 589 Chinese males and 1 838 997 Chinese females aged 18 to 85, without facial skin conditions, and who had access to a smartphone with a high‐resolution camera all took selfies.MethodUsing a smartphone application with a built‐in artificial intelligence algorithm, facial skin diagnostic evaluated the selfies and score the severity of the dark circles with four other facial indicators (including skin type, Pores, Acne vulgaris, and Blackheads). Basic information was collected with online questionnaire, including their age, gender, skin sensitivity, and dietary habits.ResultsIn users between the age of 18 and 59, the prevalence of comprehensive, pigmented, and structural type of dark circles all rose with age. However, between the age of 60 and 85, the intensity of all types of dark circles diminished. Besides, vascular dark circles progressively worsen from the age of 18 to their peak at 39, and then gradually decline with age. Females typically have more pronounced black circles under their eyes than males in China. Bad eating habits, urbanization, regular cosmetics use, and sensitive skin positively correlate with severe dark circles. Vascular, comprehensive dark circles were worse in spring. Both pigmented and structural dark circles were worse in the summer. The results indicated that the intensity of dark circles was influenced by oily skin, wide pores, severe blackheads, and severe acne.ConclusionsChinese men and women differed noticeably in the prevalence of each face aging indicator and the appearance of aging dark circles. Selfies could be automatically graded and examined by artificial intelligence, which is a quick and private method for quantifying signs of facial aging and identifying major problems for different populations. Artificial intelligence would assist in the development of individualized preventive and therapeutic interventions.

A dermatoscopia é um método diagnóstico realizado in vivo, de caráter não invasivo, rápida execução, indolor e não agride a pele. É utilizada como exame complementar e permite a observação de estruturas da epiderme, da junção dermoepidérmica e da derme papilar e reticular superficial, sendo considerada um elo entre o quadro clínico (macroscópico) e o exame histopatológico. Com o objetivo de realizar uma revisão sistemática dos artigos publicados com dermatoscopia em animais, através de uma revisão de literatura dos conceitos, técnicas e aplicações deste exame na Medicina Veterinária, foi realizada uma pesquisa eletrônica utilizando as bases de dados PubMed, Scielo, CAFe, Wiley online library e Google scholar. Foram encontrados 12 artigos, 5 (41,66%) sobre caninos, 4 (33,33%) sobre felinos e 3 (25%) sobre equinos. Estes trabalhos utilizaram a dermatoscopia, na avaliação da pele felina e equina normal, dermatofitose felina e canina, padrão de alopecia em cães, malformações linfáticas dérmicas superficiais congênitas acrais em gatos e descrição de padrão colorimétrico em cães com eritroderma. Através desta pesquisa, demonstrou-se que a dermatoscopia ainda é incipiente na Medicina Veterinária, porém com resultados promissores. O exame dermatoscópico revelou-se útil para descrever a pele normal, como triagem e auxiliar à conclusão do diagnóstico de algumas doenças de pele em animais. Embora observe-se o interesse de pesquisadores pelo assunto, e a potencialidade do exame, ainda se faz necessária a realização de mais pesquisas que identifiquem novas aplicabilidades da dermatoscopia e padrões dermatoscópicos dentre as diversas dermatopatias que acometem animais.
