Background: Down syndrome is a chromosomal abnormality characterized by an additional acrocentric chromosome, resulting in an aneuploid number of 47 chromosomes (trisomy 21). Fetal face phenotype of Down syndrome is typical in the second trimester and characterized by plane face and a big and protruding tongue.
Case: We present a case of Down syndrome at 29 weeks of gestation in which the fetal face was created using 3-D virtual reality model from 3-D ultrasound scan data.
Conclusion: A 3-D virtual model from 3-D ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging scan data allowed an immersive real environment, improving the understanding of fetal congenital anomalies by the parents and the medical team.

Orthodontists play a pivotal role in diagnosing, planning, and preparing patients for orthognathic surgeries. Digital technologies like cephalometry, intraoral scans, CBCT scans, CAD-CAM-assisted 3-D planning, and printed surgical splints, have largely replaced conventional techniques. The automated software produces surgical splints with a design similar to conventional which may not address complex scenarios, involving symmetric and asymmetric maxillary impaction.

CDK/Cyclins are dysregulated in several human cancers. Recent studies showed inhibition of CDK4/6 was responsible for controlling cell cycle progression and cancer cell growth. In the present study, atom-based and field-based 3D-QSAR, virtual screening, molecular docking and molecular dynamics studies were done for the development of novel pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine (P2P) derivatives as anticancer agents.

Objective: Minimally invasive stabilization of non- and minimally displaced acetabular fractures using intraoperative, robot-assisted three-dimensional (3D) imaging and a navigation system.
Indications: Nondisplaced or only minimally displaced fractures of the acetabulum.
Contraindications: Comminuted and highly displaced fractures of the acetabulum, protrusion of the femoral head into the pelvis with the need for open reduction, lack of possibility of intraoperative navigation.

The objective was to determine whether gravity support for the left arm of right-handed participants would increase left arm use during a three-dimensional (3-D) reaching task in virtual reality. Twelve healthy control participants each completed 630 reaching movements broken into six blocks. The majority of targets were placed close to the midsagittal plane at three heights, and participants were free to use either limb when reaching for targets.

In the AlterVerse framework, physical objects are seamlessly virtualized by aligning their 3-D virtual replicas with them. It enables users to manipulate (move or rotate) and reshape (deform the shapes or transform the styles of) the physical objects virtually.
