With the growing demand for aesthetic enhancements, particularly filler injections for nasolabial folds (NLFs), there is a need for more objective and quantitative assessment methods beyond the traditional subjective scales like the Wrinkle Severity Rating Scale (WSRS). This study introduces a novel evaluation method combining 3-dimensional (3D) imaging and grayscale analysis to objectively assess NLF severity and treatment outcomes. A total of 100 healthy participants (86 females, 14 males; mean age 41.

Objective: Artificial intelligence (AI) has been increasingly utilized in diagnosis of skeletal deformities, while its role in treatment planning and outcome prediction of jaw corrective surgeries with 3-dimensional (3D) imaging remains underexplored.
Methods: The comprehensive search was done in PubMed, Google scholar, Semantic scholar and Cochrane Library between January 2000 and May 2024. Inclusion criteria encompassed studies on AI applications in treatment planning and outcome prediction for jaw corrective surgeries using 3D imaging.

Background: The diagnosis of syndesmotic instability is challenging, and chronically unstable injuries can potentially lead to ankle arthritic degeneration. The objective of this cadaveric study was to utilize a 3-dimensional (3D) weight-bearing computed tomography (WBCT) distance mapping algorithm for the detection of subtle syndesmotic instability, induced by complete syndesmotic ligament sectioning and stressed by isolated axial load. We hypothesized that this algorithm would accurately detect subtle syndesmotic instability.

Background: The pathogenesis of spontaneous cervical artery dissection remains unclear, and no established predictors of recurrence exist. Our goal was to investigate the potential association between cervical artery tortuosity, a characteristic of patients with connective tissue disorder, and spontaneous cervical artery dissection.
Methods: The ReSect study (Risk Factors for Recurrent Cervical Artery Dissection) is an observational study that invited all spontaneous cervical artery dissection patients treated at the Innsbruck University Hospital between 1996 and 2018 for clinical and radiological follow-up.

Current breast augmentation options face limitations and potential associated complications. Implant-based augmentation introduces risks such as capsular contracture and malpositioning, whereas fat grafting poses issues such as induration and infections, necessitating revisions. Tissue engineering, integrating 3-dimensional (3D) printing and biomaterials science, aims to overcome these challenges.
