Background: Cranial measurements are crucial for evaluating preterm general development because they are a surrogate tool for evaluating brain growth. Usually, they are based on tape-measured head circumference; however, a three-dimensional (3D) approach expands the diagnostic spectrum to the evaluation of cranial volume and shape.
Aims: Very preterm (vPT) infants face multiple risks and obstacles in their early development.
The contamination of water by dyes in high concentrations is a worldwide concern, and it has prompted the development of efficient, economical, and environmentally friendly materials and technologies for water purification. The hydration and adsorption capacity for methylene blue (MB) in biocomposites (BCs) based on cellulose nanofiber (CNF) (0 to 2 wt%) were studied. BCs were synthesized through a simple and straightforward route and characterized by spectroscopy, microscopic techniques and thermogravimetric analysis, among others.

This research aimed to describe breast imaging patterns in transgender (trans) women and men that had been using gender affirmation hormone treatment for at least 3 years.
Material And Methods: In this observational, cross-sectional study, 67 transgender individuals (34 trans women and 33 trans men) had mammography and breast ultrasound performed.
Purpose: We aimed to comprehensively analyse a possible correlation between skeletal malocclusions, gender and mandibular characteristics in all three dimensions in adults and to identify mandibular characteristics that are typical for extreme skeletal patterns.
Methods: A 3D model of the skull was calculated in 111 adult patients (mean age = 27.0 ± 10.
