Article Abstract
Introduction: Speculatively, digital image post-processing (DIPP) enhances diagnostic accuracy in dermoscopy.
Objective: We aimed to investigate the advantages and limitations of DIPP, as well as its perceived reliability and safety.
Methods: In this study we investigated the perception and use of DIPP among members of the International Dermoscopy Society through a web-based survey with 17 questions focusing on: (i) demographics (sex, age, nationality, specialty, professional experience in dermoscopy), (ii) application of digital dermoscopy, (iii) imaging devices, (iv) DIPP software usage, (v) area of DIPP application (e.g., neoplastic dermatoses or inflammoscopy), preference over manual or automatized DIPP, (vi) personally adjusted parameters, (vii) perceived reliability and safety of DIPP, and (viii) an open comment section.
Results: A total of 360 respondents (64 countries) completed the survey. While 91.7% of respondents reported capturing dermoscopic images during examination, only 22.4% of them declared using DIPP. We have demonstrated that DIPP was used more commonly with smartphones rather than video dermatoscopes or digital cameras and for dermoscopy of neoplastic dermatoses rather than inflammoscopy. Respondents tended to adjust image parameters manually. The perceptions of its usefulness and safety were good, even though slight variability across geographic regions was observed.
Conclusion: Given that no regulations for DIPP exist, healthcare professionals involved with dermoscopic image acquisition and archiving may require special training to responsibly implement DIPP in their practices.

We report the synthesis of homoleptic two-coordinate Co and Ni complexes supported by a sterically hindered NIm ligand (1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazolin-2-iminato). Their formulation as two-coordinate complexes was verified by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses, and their M-N bond distances are between those in the reported transition-metal imido and amido complexes, suggesting a multiple-bond character. These coordinatively unsaturated complexes readily react with GeCl·dioxane, affording bimetallic Co/Ge and Ni/Ge complexes, demonstrating facile and rational syntheses of heterobimetallic complexes.

Reaction of LZnI [L = BuC(N-DIPP), DIPP = 2,6-Pr-CH] with KC in the presence of cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene (cAAC) affords a stable radical complex [LZn(cAAC)] (3). Single-crystal structural analysis of 3 shows a short Zn─C bond and concomitant elongation of C─N bond within the cAAC ligand, indicating a significant π-backbonding from the metal to the cAAC ligand. EPR spectroscopy and DFT calculations reveal that the spin density is mainly localized on the carbenic carbon atom, with a small portion on the zinc center.

Recently, we discovered that silaiminyl-silylene, [LSi-Si(NDipp)L] (L = PhC(NBu), Dipp = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl), can be converted from a mono-silylene to bis-silylene by using Lewis acids. This revelation led us to further use silaiminyl-silylene as a silylene-based ligand, which can coordinate to one metal center and later, on demand, release one more silylene center to coordinate to a second metal. Furthermore, an insight into the mechanism of this unusual rearrangement reaction is presented.

The reaction of the potassium aluminyl K[Al(NON)] ([NON] = [O(SiMeNDipp)], Dipp = 2,6-iPrCH) with the diaminogermylene Ge[N(SiMe)] afforded [K(CH)][Al(NON){(MeSi)NGeGeN(SiMe)}] containing an AlGe ring. Structural and computational analysis confirm an aluminacyclodigermene complex that can be considered as an η-coordinated digermyne at aluminium with Ge(I) centres. This compound is an intermediate on the reduction pathway to K[(Ge){Al(NON)}{N(SiMe)}], which contains a distorted tetrahedral cluster of Ge(-I) centres.
