In model-based segmentation, automated region identification is achieved via registration of novel data to a pre-determined model. The desired structure is typically generated via manual tracing within this model. When model-based segmentation is applied to human cortical data, problems arise if left-right comparisons are desired. The asymmetry of the human cortex requires that both left and right models of a structure be composed in order to effectively segment the desired structures. Paradoxically, defining a model in both hemi-spheres carries a likelihood of introducing bias to one of the structures. This paper describes a novel technique for creating a symmetric average model in which both hemispheres are equally represented and thus left-right comparison is possible. This work is an extension of that proposed by Guimond et al. Hippocampal segmentation is used as a test-case in a cohort of 118 normal eld-erly subjects and results are compared with expert manual tracing.

Background: Early diagnosis of syphilis is vital for its effective control. This study aimed to develop an Artificial Intelligence (AI) diagnostic model based on radiomics technology to distinguish early syphilis from other clinical skin lesions.
Methods: The study collected 260 images of skin lesions caused by various skin infections, including 115 syphilis and 145 other infection types.

Objective: A prostate ultrasound (US) imaging omics model was established to assess its effectiveness in diagnosing prostate cancer (PCa), predicting Gleason score (GS), and determining the likelihood of distant metastasis.
Methods: US images of patients with prostate pathology confirmed by biopsy or surgery at our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Regions of interest (ROI) segmentation, feature extraction, feature screening, and the construction and training of the radiomics model were performed.

Accurate protein secondary structure prediction (PSSP) plays a crucial role in biopharmaceutics and disease diagnosis. Current prediction methods are mainly based on multiple sequence alignment (MSA) encoding and collaborative operations of diverse networks. However, existing encoding approaches lead to poor feature space utilization, and encoding quality decreases with fewer homologous proteins.

In populations of small effective size (N), such as those in conservation programmes, companion animals or livestock species, inbreeding control is essential. Homozygosity-by-descent (HBD) segments provide relevant information in that context, as they allow accurate estimation of the inbreeding coefficient, provide locus-specific information and their length is informative about the "age" of inbreeding. Our objective was to evaluate tools for predicting HBD in future offspring based on parental genotypes, a problem equivalent to identifying segments identical-by-descent (IBD) among the four parental chromosomes.

Objective: The study aims to develop a diagnostic model using intraoral photographs to accurately detect and classify early detection of enamel demineralization on tooth surfaces.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted with 208 patients aged 14 to 44. A total of 624 high-quality digital images captured under standardized conditions were used to construct a deep learning model based on the Mask region-based convolutional neural network (Mask R-CNN).
