Purpose: The purpose of this study was to study the treatment outcomes and accuracy of the digital prediction using Dolphin Imaging Software and the actual postoperative outcome in subjects presenting Class III malocclusions.
Materials And Methods: Maxillary advancement surgery was performed in group 1, and maxillary advancement was combined with mandibular setback surgery in group 2. Predictive cephalometric tracings were made using Dolphin Imaging Software.
Results: Before surgery, the maxillary deficiency was significantly greater in group 1 than in group 2, and the mandibular length was significantly greater in group 2. Surgical reductions in mandibular length and angle were significantly greater 12 months after surgery than indicated by the predictive cephalometric tracings.
Conclusion: In groups 1 and 2, maxillary advancement surgery was performed in accordance with the Dolphin Imaging Software. The mandibular setback surgery performed was beyond the established plan, but without clinical implications. Mandibular dentoskeletal measurements showed a greater correlation with the profile than the maxillary measurements.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation of the volume and minimum axial area (MAA) measurements between different upper and lower boundaries used for oropharyngeal airway assessment.
Methods: Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scans of 49 subjects taken for pre-orthognathic surgical planning were obtained retrospectively from the archives (n = 49; 32 females, 17 males; mean age = 20.9 ± 5.

This study aims to evaluate the post-surgical stability of patients with cleft lip and palate that underwent maxillary advancement surgery. The study was conducted by means of cephalometric analysis of the soft tissues in digital radiographs acquired preoperatively, immediate postoperatively and six months after surgery using Dolphin Imaging 11.5 software.

Purpose: To assess the ability of the Dolphin air-pulse aesthesiometer to present multiple stimuli, which are separated temporally (in sequence) or spatially (simultaneously).
Methods: Two studies were performed to explore the cooling effects induced by double air-puff stimuli generated by a novel aesthesiometer composed of two micro-blower integrated units. The stimuli were delivered sequentially or simultaneously at the same or different spatial locations to an in vitro eye model monitored using thermography.

Department of Radiology, Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Kagoshima University, 8-35-1 Sakuragaoka, Kagoshima, 890-8544, Japan.
Objectives: This study evaluates the effectiveness of machine learning (ML) models that incorporate clinical and 2-deoxy-2-[F]fluoro-D-glucose ([F]-FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET)-radiomic features for predicting outcomes in gallbladder cancer patients.
Materials And Methods: The study analyzed 52 gallbladder cancer patients who underwent pre-treatment [F]-FDG-PET/CT scans between January 2011 and December 2021. Twenty-seven patients were assigned to the training cohort between January 2011 and January 2018, and the data randomly split into training (70%) and validation (30%) sets.
Comparative evaluation of the upper pharyngeal airway among children with/without UCLP and with/without OSA.

Department of Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry, Chiang Mai University T. Suthep, A. Muang, Chiang Mai, 50200, Thailand.
Background: To evaluate the volume and the most constricted cross-sectional area (lumen) sizes of the upper pharyngeal airway among children with/without unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) and with/without obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Methods: This prospective study was conducted on 66 Thai children aged 5 to 12 years, encompassing demographic information, polysomnographic data, and sex distribution: 34 with non-syndromic UCLP (16 with OSA; 18 without OSA) and 32 non-cleft children (16 with OSA; 16 without OSA). Subjects were divided into two age groups: preadolescent group (ages 10-12) and younger group (ages 5-9).
