German S3 guideline "actinic keratosis and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma" – long version of the update 2023

Actinic keratosis (AK) are common lesions in light-skinned individuals that can potentially progress to cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC). Both conditions may be associated with significant morbidity and constitute a major disease burden, especially among the elderly. To establish an evidence-based framework for clinical decision making, the guideline “actinic keratosis and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma” was updated and expanded by the topics cutanepus squamous cell carcinoma in situ (Bowen’s disease) and actinic cheilitis. This guideline was developed at the highest evidence level (S3) and is aimed at dermatologists, general practitioners, ear nose and throat specialists, surgeons, oncologists, radiologists and radiation oncologists in hospitals and office-based settings, as well as other medical specialties, policy makers and insurance funds involved in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with AK and cSCC

Near-Duplicate Detection for Web-Forums

Unlike web search engines, current forum search engines lack the ability to identify threads with near-duplicate content and to group these threads in the search results. As a result, forum users are overloaded with duplicate search results. Furthermore, they often create additional similar postings without reviewing existing search results. To overcome that problem we have developed a new near-duplicate detection algorithm for forum-threads. The algorithm was implemented in a large case study using a real-world forum serving more than one million users. We compared our work with current algorithms, such as [3, 4], for detecting near-duplicates on machine generated web pages. Our preliminary results show, that we significantly outperform these algorithms and that we are able to group forum threads with a precision of 74%
