The primary goal of this pilot study was to evaluate, via 3D analysis, the scan body precision of an intraoral digital scan utilizing a custom multifunctional scan body compared to that of digitized stone models fabricated from a conventional open tray impression in the fully edentulous maxilla and mandible. The secondary goal of this study was to showcase a method for utilizing the scan body library to generate a fixed fiducial marker for the cross-mount of an edentulous arch. Comparative analysis was performed as a case-control study. A custom scan body was utilized to generate the positions of the titanium bases from the intraoral models and digitized stone models of three maxillary arches (All-On-6, All-On-5, and All-On-4) and two mandibular arches (both All-On-4). The titanium base positions were compared using advanced 3D inspection software. The mean ± SD deviation was 30.38 ± 17.78 μm (95% CI: [14.8 to 45.97 μm]), with mean deviations of 38.73 ± 19.24 μm (95% CI: 16.96 to 60.5 μm) in the maxilla and 17.85 ± 0.92 μm (95% CI: 16.58 to 19.12 μm) in the mandible. The present results were promising, showing that deviations between the intraoral impressions and the digitized stone models fell within established tolerance ranges. Initial studies showed promising results that the digital workflow could be implemented with success similar to the conventional approach. Using the scan body library to generate a fiducial marker successfully demonstrated an efficient method for cross-mounting the edentulous arch.

Background & Aims: Brown adipose tissue (BAT) has been mainly investigated as a potential target against cardiometabolic disease, but it has also been linked to cancer-related outcomes. Although preclinical data support that BAT and the thermogenic adipocytes in white adipose tissue may play an adverse role in the pathogenesis of cancer cachexia, results from studies in patients have reported inconsistent results. The purpose of this study was to examine the interrelationship between presence of detectable BAT, changes in body weight, and cachexia in patients with cancer.

Objective: The aim of this study was to intraindividually compare the conspicuity of focal liver lesions (FLLs) between low- and ultra-low-dose computed tomography (CT) with deep learning reconstruction (DLR) and standard-dose CT with model-based iterative reconstruction (MBIR) from a single CT using dual-split scan in patients with suspected liver metastasis via a noninferiority design.
Materials And Methods: This prospective study enrolled participants who met the eligibility criteria at 2 tertiary hospitals in South Korea from June 2022 to January 2023. The criteria included (a) being aged between 20 and 85 years and (b) having suspected or known liver metastases.
Evaluating lower limits of body fat percentage in athletes using DXA.
J Clin Densitom

Wayne State University, Detroit, MI, USA.
Body fat percentage (BF%) is routinely measured in athletes to monitor training and dietary interventions. Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is widely considered the gold standard body composition measurement technique, but DXA BF% values measure consistently higher than other techniques. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to determine the lowest DXA-estimated whole-body fat mass in free-living athletes with unrestricted access to food.

Background: Steatotic liver disease (SLD) is a potentially reversible condition but often goes unnoticed with the risk for end-stage liver disease.
Purpose: To opportunistically estimate SLD on lung screening chest computed tomography (CT) and investigate its prognostic value in heavy smokers participating in the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST).
Material And Methods: We used a deep learning model to segment the liver on non-contrast-enhanced chest CT scans of 19,774 NLST participants (age 61.
Axillary Lymph Node Metastasis in Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma at Early Perioperative Period: Report of a Case and Review of the Literature.

A 36-year-old woman with a history of neck swelling was diagnosed with papillary thyroid carcinoma, a common but typically slow-growing thyroid cancer with a good prognosis. Despite frequent lymph node metastasis, mortality rates are low. This cancer can rarely spread to unusual areas like the axillary region.
