Article Synopsis
- Traditional cephalometric radiographs can result in errors because they represent 3D structures in a 2D format, while cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) offers clearer, distortion-free images.
- This study compared artificial intelligence-enhanced low-dose CBCT images to traditional and standard CBCT cephalograms using a sample of 16 participants.
- The results showed that while most measurements were comparable across the groups, low-dose CBCT demonstrates potential for efficient dentofacial analysis, indicating a need for more research into AI technologies in dental imaging.
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder marked by the gradual deterioration of dopaminergic neurons, especially in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc). Dysregulation of the transcription factor FoxO1 is associated with various neurodegenerative conditions, including Alzheimer's disease and PD, though the specific mechanisms involved are not fully understood. This study explores the effects of α-Synuclein preformed fibrils (PFF) on BV-2 microglial cells, focusing on changes in molecular characteristics and their impact on neuronal degeneration.

- - This study evaluated the effectiveness of AI-processed low-dose cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images for accurately diagnosing issues with single teeth, particularly focusing on the right mandibular first molar.
- - Two different CBCT machines were used: one with enhanced AI processing and multiple protocols, and the other with a single protocol without AI, allowing a comparison of image quality and radiation dose.
- - Results showed that AI-processed images had lower radiation exposure while maintaining diagnostic quality similar to traditional methods, with statistical analysis confirming significant agreement among dental professionals in their assessments.
Background: GBA1 mutations are the most common genetic risk factor for development of Parkinson's disease (PD). The loss of catalytic activity in GBA1, as well as the reduction of the GBA1 protein in certain cellular compartment, may increase disease progression. However, the mechanisms underlying cellular dysfunction caused by GBA1 deficiency are still mostly unknown.

There have been a number of studies on students' and adults' decision-making over socio-scientific issues under the name of scientific literacy. In this study, we investigated the social and cultural backgrounds of Korean people's actions and trust over their personal problems (e.
