The effect of levomepromazine on sinusal automaticity, myocardial excitability and auriculoventricular conduction have been studied in dogs by measuring the spontaneous heart rate, the effective refractory period of the conduction system, the time of auriculonodal and infrahisian conduction. Chloralose-anaesthetized dogs were administered 5 mg/kg levomepromazine via IV route and 10 mg/kg one hour later. While sinusal automaticity is never altered, the other parameters studied were modified only when high doses were used. Therefore these quinidine-like effects are very unlikely to come up even following suicidal massive ingestion of levomepromazine.

Modern facial surgical planning and therapeutic strategies rely heavily on the precise segmentation of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses from computed tomography (CT) images for quantitative analysis. Nevertheless, manual segmentation is labor-intensive and prone to inconsistencies, highlighting the need for automatic segmentation methods. A significant challenge in this field is the lack of publicly available clinical datasets for research.

Article Synopsis
- This study explores the use of automated deep learning (DL) systems to improve the segmentation of maxillary sinuses and their associated diseases in Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) images, which can benefit surgical planning for physicians.
- The modified YOLOv5x architecture with transfer learning was utilized to analyze a dataset of 307 anonymized CBCT images, identifying conditions such as mucous retention cysts and mucosal thickenings.
- Results showed high accuracy in segmentation, with F1 scores indicating successful detection of both healthy and diseased maxillary sinuses using the AI model.

Department of Radiology, Suzhou Ninth People's Hospital Affiliated to Soochow University, No. 2666 Ludang Rd, Wujiang District, Suzhou, Jiangsu 215200, China.
Our objective is to evaluate radiation dose and image quality in pediatric paranasal sinus computed tomography (CT) with automatic tube current modulation (ATCM) and sinogram-affirmed iterative reconstruction algorithm (SAFIRE). CT scans from 80 patients were divided into two groups: Group A [80 kVp, pitch 1.5, 40 mAs, the filtered back projection (FBP) algorithm] and Group B (70 kVp, pitch 3, ATCM with reference at 40 mAs, SAFIRE strengths 1-5).

Purpose: Ultrashort echo time (UTE) MRI can be a radiation-free alternative to CT for craniofacial imaging of pediatric patients. However, unlike CT, bone-specific MR imaging is limited by long scan times, relatively low spatial resolution, and a time-consuming bone segmentation workflow.
Methods: A rapid, high-resolution UTE technique for brain and skull imaging in conjunction with an automatic segmentation pipeline was developed.

Department of Radiology, Jena University Hospital-Friedrich Schiller University, Jena, Germany.
Objectives: Computer vision (CV) mimics human vision, enabling computers to automatically compare radiological images from recent examinations with a large image database for unique identification, crucial in emergency scenarios involving unknown patients or deceased individuals. This study aims to extend a CV-based personal identification method from orthopantomograms (OPGs) to computed tomography (CT) examinations using single CT slices.
Methods: The study analyzed 819 cranial computed tomography (CCT) examinations from 722 individuals, focusing on single CT slices from six anatomical regions to explore their potential for CV-based personal identification in 69 procedures.
