Accurate wound segmentation is crucial for the precise diagnosis and treatment of various skin conditions through image analysis. In this paper, we introduce a novel dual attention U-Net model designed for precise wound segmentation. Our proposed architecture integrates two widely used deep learning models, VGG16 and U-Net, incorporating dual attention mechanisms to focus on relevant regions within the wound area.

This experimental phantom study investigates current standard of care protocols in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), energy-integrating-detector (EID) CT, and photon-counting-detector (PCD) CT regarding their potential in delineation of dental root canals. Artificial accessory canals (diameters: 1000, 600, 400, 300 and 200 μm) were drilled into three bovine teeth mounted on a bovine rib as a jaw substitute. The phantom was scanned in two dental CBCTs, two EID-CTs and a PCD-CT using standard clinical protocols.

The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a ubiquitous medical diagnostic tool employed to localize myocardial infarction (MI) that is characterized by abnormal waveform patterns on the ECG. MI is a serious cardiovascular disease, and accurate, timely diagnosis is crucial for preventing severe outcomes. Current ECG analysis methods mainly rely on intra- and inter-lead feature extraction, but most models overlook the medical knowledge relevant to disease diagnosis.

Once an exotic add-on to fluorescence microscopy for life science research, fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIm) has become a powerful and increasingly utilised technique owing to its self-calibration nature, which affords superior quantification over conventional steady-state fluorescence imaging. This review focuses on the state-of-the-art implementation of FLIm related to the formulation, release, dosage, and mechanism of action of drugs aimed for innovative diagnostics and therapy. Quantitative measurements using FLIm have appeared instrumental for encapsulated drug delivery design, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, pathological investigations, early disease diagnosis, and evaluation of therapeutic efficacy.

Protein-protein interactions (PPI) are crucial for understanding numerous biological processes and pathogenic mechanisms. Identifying interaction sites is essential for biomedical research and targeted drug development. Compared to experimental methods, accurate computational approaches for protein-protein interaction sites (PPIS) prediction can save significant time and costs.
