Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have increased interest in intelligent transportation systems, particularly autonomous vehicles. Safe navigation in traffic-heavy environments requires accurate road scene segmentation, yet traditional computer vision methods struggle with complex scenarios. This study emphasizes the role of deep learning in improving semantic segmentation using datasets like the Indian Driving Dataset (IDD), which presents unique challenges in chaotic road conditions.

Recent research emphasizes the use of CBCT for the anatomic study of the temporal bone. The information about middle ear anatomy on CBCT scans is meager; hence, this retrospective study was conducted to identify and determine the various morphometrical parameters of the malleus using CBCT which can be helpful during reconstructive procedures for the otologic surgeon.

MAOs, consisting of MAO-A and MAO-B isoforms, play crucial roles in neurotransmitter metabolism, with implications for neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases. This study aims to optimize Linezolid's structure to transform it into a selective MAO-B inhibitor.

As a potential solution, some researchers have advocated for the use of non-absorbable sutures for fracture fixation. This study aims to investigate the clinical and radiological outcomes of patients treated with fiber taping as an alternative technique.
