This clinical report describes a digital workflow for the rehabilitation of an 8-year-old patient diagnosed with ectodermal dysplasia. Based on the patient's digital primary casts, small custom trays and an arch tracer were designed and 3-dimensionally printed. The mandibular custom tray and retention plate with a tracing screw were assembled with tracing plate, forming an individual assembled mini-arch tracer system to record the jaw relationship together with a conventional facebow and a digital articulator. In addition, composite resin injection guides were designed and fabricated to form the predesigned targeted shape of the abutment teeth and provide a buffer. By following this workflow, complete overdentures with good fit, occlusion, and acceptable esthetics were delivered.

The importance of genomic surveillance strategies for pathogens has been particularly evident during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, as genomic data from the causative agent, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2), have guided public health decisions worldwide. Bayesian phylodynamic inference, integrating epidemiology and evolutionary biology, has become an essential tool in genomic epidemiological surveillance. It enables the estimation of epidemiological parameters, such as the reproductive number, from pathogen sequence data alone.

Background: The increase in multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) examinations as a fundamental tool in prostate cancer (PCa) diagnostics raises the need for supportive computer-aided imaging analysis. Therefore, we evaluated the performance of a commercially available AI-based algorithm for prostate cancer detection and classification in a multi-center setting.
Methods: Representative patients with 3T mpMRI between 2017 and 2022 at three different university hospitals were selected.

Purpose: Colorectal cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers worldwide, highlighting the critical need for early and accurate diagnosis to reduce patient risks. Inaccurate diagnoses not only compromise patient outcomes but also lead to increased costs and additional time burdens for clinicians. Enhancing diagnostic accuracy is essential, and this study focuses on improving the accuracy of polyp classification using the NICE classification, which evaluates three key features: colour, vessels, and surface pattern.
