Automated high-resolution 3D inspection methods for sealant applications in aerospace based on line structured light.

Gluing is a critical step in aircraft sealing assembly, with glue profile inspection serving as the final quality assurance measure to ensure consistency and accuracy of the sealant coating, allowing timely detection and correction of defects to maintain assembly integrity and safety. Currently, existing glue inspection systems are limited to basic inspection capabilities, lack result digitization, and exhibit low efficiency. This paper proposes a 3D inspection technology for sealant coating quality based on line-structured light, enabling automated and high-precision inspection of sealant thickness, sealant width, positional accuracy, and overlap joint sealant contour through geometric computation.

Background: The nature of pelvic floor muscle (PFM) involvement in provoked vestibulodynia (PVD) is poorly understood.
Aim: We aimed to determine if PFM electromyographic (EMG) activity in anticipation of or response to pressure applied to the posterior vaginal fourchette differs between those with and without PVD, and if the magnitude of PFM response is associated with pressure pain sensitivity, psychological or psychosexual function.
Methods: This was an observational case-control study.
Neural network-based arterial diameter estimation from ultrasound data.

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of mortality and early assessment of carotid artery abnormalities with ultrasound is key for effective prevention. Obtaining the carotid diameter waveform is essential for hemodynamic parameter extraction. However, since it is not a trivial task to automate, compact computational models are needed to operate reliably in view of physiological variability.

Article Synopsis
- A study examined the symptom burden of multiple myeloma (MM) patients using a symptom monitoring app, focusing on their treatment experiences based on the line of therapy (LOT).
- The research involved 156 patients, comparing those on their 4th LOT or higher (heavily pretreated) with those on fewer LOTs, revealing that common severe symptoms included fatigue, muscle pain, and numbness/tingling, with heavier symptom burden in the heavily pretreated group.
- The findings indicate a need for better symptom management interventions for all patients but highlight a pressing need for those who are heavily pretreated due to their significantly higher symptom burden and bother.
