Objectives: To assess the interobserver reliability in assessing postural stability and to compare with results obtained by computerized posturography.
Design: Cross-sectional study.
Setting: Balance clinic, teaching hospital.
Participants: 81 patients attending with a primary complaint of imbalance.
Main Outcome Measures: Inter-rater reliability between two clinicians and the modified Clinical Test for the Sensory Interaction on Balance (mCTSIB) as assessed by the Neurocom VSR Balance Master platform.
Results: Inter-rater reliability scores were high (0.53-0.81) for all conditions of the mCTSIB except for the easiest, i.e. firm surface eyes open, where concordance levels were poor to fair.
Conclusions: Overall there was good agreement between observers and the computerized mCTSIB.

Division of Cardiology, Department of Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle (J.A.D., E.J.S., D.H.A.).
Background: Case-based peer review of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is used by many hospitals for quality improvement and to make decisions regarding physician competency. However, there are no studies testing the reliability or validity of peer review for PCI performance evaluation.
Methods: We recruited interventional cardiologists from 12 Veterans Affairs Health System facilities throughout the United States to provide PCI cases for review.
New Classification System for Proximal Fifth Metatarsal Fractures: Intraobserver and Interobserver Reliability Assessment.
Foot Ankle Int
January 2025
University Hospital October 12, Madrid, Spain.
Background: The most commonly used classification for proximal fifth metatarsal fractures has not shown good reproducibility. The aim of this study was to evaluate the intraobserver and interobserver agreement of a new classification system for such fractures.
Methods: The study involved the development of a novel classification system that categorized these fractures into 2 main types and 2 subtypes.

Purpose: This study was performed to introduce, evaluate, and compare various novel assessment protocols designed for straightforward, reliable, and reproducible measurement of alveolar bone levels. These protocols are intended for standardized periodontal assessment and follow-up, utilizing cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images and manipulation of Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) viewer software.
Materials And Methods: Two experienced oral and maxillofacial radiologists developed 5 distinct radiographic measurement protocols.

Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to validate a novel AI tool that combines dental images from two different sources, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and intraoral scanners (IOS), to create accurate tooth models.
- The evaluation involved analyzing a dataset from 30 patients, calculating various accuracy metrics for the AI-generated models, and comparing them to both expert manual methods and existing segmentation approaches.
- Results indicated that the AI-based approach achieved high accuracy similar to manual methods but was significantly faster, suggesting it could improve efficiency in dental practices.

Department of Ophthalmology, Cliniques Universitaires Saint Luc, UCL, Brussels, Belgium.
Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the inter-observer variability in assessing the optic disc in fundus photographs and its implications for establishing ground truth in AI research.
Methods: Seventy subjects were screened during a screening campaign. Fundus photographs were classified into normal (NL) or abnormal (GS: glaucoma and glaucoma suspects) by two masked glaucoma specialists.
