Background/purpose: In this study, we utilized magnetic resonance imaging data of the temporomandibular joint, collected from the Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Taipei Veterans General Hospital. Our research focuses on the classification and severity analysis of temporomandibular joint disease using convolutional neural networks.

Materials And Methods: In gray-scale image series, the most critical features often lie within the articular disc cartilage, situated at the junction of the temporal bone and the condyles.

Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a right ventricular disease caused by desmosomal gene mutations leading to fibro-fatty replacement of the myocardium causing ventricular arrhythmias such as ventricular tachycardia (VT). A 59-year-old female presented with new onset VT manifesting as shortness of breath and chest discomfort. Diagnostic workup revealed right ventricular dilation/dysfunction on echocardiogram, VT with left bundle branch block (LBBB) and diffuse T wave inversions (TWIs) on EKG.

BACKGROUND The management of unstable atlas fractures remains a subject of ongoing debate and controversy. The conservative surgical treatment commonly involves fusion, resulting in severe loss of cervical spine mobility, and a large incisions and extensive tissue dissection are required. We aim to introduce a novel concept and surgical approach for treating atlas fracture, one that involves minimizing trauma while maintaining mobility of the upper cervical spine without resorting to fusion.

Background: Identifying patients with low left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in the emergency department using an electrocardiogram (ECG) may optimize acute heart failure (AHF) management. We aimed to assess the efficacy of 527 automated 12‑lead ECG features for estimating LVEF among patients with AHF.

Method: Medical records of patients >18 years old and AHF-related ICD codes, demographics, LVEF %, comorbidities, and medication were analyzed.

Adaptation is the attenuation of a neuronal response when a stimulus is repeatedly presented. The phenomenon has been linked to sensory memory, but its exact neuronal mechanisms are under debate. One defining feature of adaptation is its lifetime, that is, the timespan over which the attenuating effect of previous stimulation persists.
