Newest firstThe adoption of artificial intelligence in dermatology promises democratized access to healthcare, but model reliability depends on the quality and comprehensiveness of the data fueling these models. Despite rapid growth in publicly available dermatology images, the field lacks quantitative key performance indicators to measure whether new datasets expand clinical coverage or merely replicate what is already known…
Open article record in new tab ↗The growing use of cannabis for both recreational and medicinal purposes has raised concerns about its cutaneous adverse effects. While systemic implications of cannabis are widely reported, dermatological manifestations remain underrecognized and underreported. This review aims to consolidate existing literature on cannabis-related dermatological complications, including allergic contact dermatitis, urticaria, St…
Open article record in new tab ↗Cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychoactive phytocannabinoid derived from Cannabis sativa L., has emerged as a promising multifunctional agent in dermatology and cosmetic science. The review provides an updated synthesis of CBD's topical therapeutic potential, challenges, and evolving regulatory frameworks. CBD exhibits diverse biological effects, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, analgesic, lipos…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Chronic inflammatory skin disorders, including atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, acne, and chronic wounds, affect nearly two billion people worldwide, impose substantial morbidity and economic burden, and remain only partially controlled by existing therapies. The cutaneous endocannabinoid system (ECS), comprising cannabinoid receptors, endocannabinoids, and their metabolic enzymes, regulates inflammation,…
Open article record in new tab ↗IntroductionCellulitis is a common bacterial skin infection causing significant pain, swelling, and impact on daily activities, frequently leading to emergency department presentations and hospital admissions. While antibiotics are the mainstay of treatment, they do not directly address inflammation, often resulting in persisting or worsening symptoms in the initial days. Corticosteroids, with their potent anti-in…
BackgroundGeneral-purpose large language models (LLMs) have rapidly evolved from experimental tools into widely adopted components of healthcare. Their proliferation - accelerated by the "ChatGPT effect" - has sparked intense interest across patient-facing specialties. Among these, dermatology provides a high-visibility use case through which to assess LLM capabilities, evaluation practices, and adoption trends. O…
Open article record in new tab ↗Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-psychotropic cannabinoid with multiple pharmacological properties. Cannabidiol has attracted growing attention in the cosmetic industry, with an increasing number of CBD-containing skincare products on the market in recent years. The aim of this review is to evaluate the current evidence on the use of CBD for cosmetic purposes. Following an overview of CBD and the endocannabinoid system…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Seborrheic dermatitis (SD) affects 18.6%-59% of persons with Parkinson disease (PD), and recent studies provide evidence that oral cannabidiol (CBD) therapy could reduce sebum production in addition to improving motor and psychiatric symptoms in PD. Therefore, oral CBD could be useful for improving symptoms of both commonly co-occurring conditions. Objective This study investigates whether oral CBD ther…
Open article record in new tab ↗Although medical cannabis was legalized in Czechia in 2013 and its use in topical treatments of skin disorders is now allowed, galenic formulations prepared from medical cannabis have not been widely implemented in the Czech healthcare system. One of the main reasons is the lack of a straightforward standardized protocol for their preparation. Cannabinoids, e.g., cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), h…
Humans have utilised cannabis products in various forms throughout the recorded history. To date, more than 500 biologically active components have been identified in the plants of the Cannabis genus, amongst which more than 100 were classified as phytocannabinoids (exocannabinoids). The plant genus Cannabis is a member of the plant family Cannabaceae, and there are three primary cannabis species which vary in the…
Open article record in new tab ↗Cannabinoids are increasingly-used substances in the treatment of chronic pain, some neuropsychiatric disorders and more recently, skin disorders with an inflammatory component. However, various studies cite conflicting results concerning the cellular mechanisms involved, while others suggest that cannabinoids may even exert pro-inflammatory behaviors. This paper aims to detail and clarify the complex workings of…
