Article Abstract

The supposed relics of "Mary-Magdalene" are preserved in Provence (France) in an ancient tradition. They consist of a dry skull and a lock of hair. For the first time, they were officially subjected to an extensive medico-surgical examination by photogrammetry, high-magnification binocular lenses, scanning electron microscope, and energy-dispersive X-ray elemental analysis, to propose a full computer-aided facial reconstruction. The preliminary results are presented here.

Breast cancer continues to be a major health concern, and early detection is vital for enhancing survival rates. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a key tool due to its substantial sensitivity for invasive breast cancers. Computer-aided detection (CADe) systems enhance the effectiveness of MRI by identifying potential lesions, aiding radiologists in focusing on areas of interest, extracting quantitative features, and integrating with computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) pipelines.

The last decades have brought an interest in ultrasound applications in dermatology. Especially in the case of atopic dermatitis, where the formation of a subepidermal low echogenic band (SLEB) may serve as an independent indicator of the effects of treatment, the use of ultrasound is of particular interest. This study proposes and evaluates the computer-aided diagnosis method for assessing atopic dermatitis (AD).

Accurate prediction of drug-target binding affinity remains a fundamental challenge in contemporary drug discovery. Despite significant advances in computational methods for protein-ligand binding affinity prediction, current approaches still face substantial limitations in prediction accuracy. Moreover, the prevalent methodologies often overlook critical three-dimensional (3D) structural information, thereby constraining their practical utility in computer-aided drug design (CADD).

The number of dental implants placed and restored every year is increasing across the world. However, there has been an increase in the number of reports with implant-related surgical complications in which the inferior alveolar nerve injury is the most serious one. This surgical problem can be avoided by using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), three-dimensional (3D) implant planning software, and computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technology such as stereolithographic surgical guides.
