3D imaging and 3D printing are two methods that have been proven very useful in medicine. The objective of 3D medical imaging is to recreate the static and functional anatomy of the inner body. The development of computational systems for image processing and multidimensional monitoring of medical data is important for diagnosis and treatment planning. The technique of 3D printing has enabled the materialization of anatomical models and surgical splints using medical imaging data. The methods of 3D imaging and 3D printing have been utilized in various medical fields such as neuroimaging, neurosurgery, dentistry, otolaryngology and facial plastic surgery. This review aims to evaluate the use of 3D imaging and 3D printing techniques in head and neck surgery and concludes that these technologies have revolutionized medicine. However, improvements in healthcare systems and further research still have to be made to establish their use in everyday medical practices.

Our entire body, including the brain and nervous system, works with the help of various kinds of biological stuff which includes positively charged ions of elements like sodium, potassium, and calcium. The different body parts have different energy levels, and by measuring the energy level, we can also measure the fitness of an individual. Moreover, this energy and fitness are directly related to mental health and the signals being transmitted between the brain and other parts of the body. Various activities like walking, talking, eating, and thinking are performed with the help of these transmission signals. Another critical role played by them is that it helps in examining the mechanisms of cells present at various places in the human body and signaling the nervous system and brain if they are properly functioning or not. This manuscript is divided into two parts where, in the first part, it provides the introduction, background, and extensive literature survey on Kirlian experiments to measure the human's organ energy.

COVID-19 disease, caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus infection, started in the province of Wuhan in China in December 2019 and has reached pandemic proportions by March 2020 affecting many countries worldwide. The purpose of this review is to present scientific evidence found until April 30, 2020 on the characteristics of COVID-19 in the pediatric population. Bibliographical review of articles has been conducted through PubMed and Google Scholar, from January to April. Most of the research included was conducted in China because only a small number of studies from Europe and other affected areas could be found, as the pandemic is still in progress. As for the children, the disease turns up with mild symptoms while the mortality rate in childhood is particularly low. The diagnosis of the disease is made through specific criteria, while a therapeutic protocol is applied for the treatment of the disease. The virus is mainly transmitted through the respiratory tract, although it has not been scientifically proven that the virus is transmitted through vertical transmission from mother to fetus.

The paper presents the design of a highly customizable game for children with autism spectrum disorder facing learning difficulties. The same solution can be used for children with or without other developmental disorders facing learning difficulties. The scope of the research was to create a generic solution to facilitate the learning process of reading in the targeted population. The latest pedagogical approaches (TEACCH, PECS, ABA, Makaton, etc.) are combined with appropriate gamification techniques to produce the desired outcome. The game has been developed with the unity game engine in order to run in any device. The final solution has been pilot tested in a small group of highly-functioning children with autism. The results of the design process and the early findings from the pilot testing are presented in the current paper.

Advances in neonatology enabled significant improvements in neonatal survival, often at the expense of long-term morbidity. End-of-life decisions concern neonatal patients with fatal congenital anomalies, severe neurological deficits, and extreme prematurity at the limits of viability, presenting a complex issue for both healthcare professionals and parents. Since newborns cannot express their wishes or claim their rights, physicians and parents carry the responsibility to decide in their best interests, considering their future quality of life. Harmonization of scientific progress and legislation defining clear rules is necessary so neonatologists can proceed to such agonizing decisions. Greece lacks both specific legislation regarding such decisions and medical training on handling respective ethical dilemmas. Thus, guidelines improving such decisions are closely related to the quality of the healthcare system and should be established along with the legal system's adaptation.

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is considered to be the second greatest reform in healthcare in Australia after the introduction of Medicare in Australia in 1983. This reform was introduced in 2012 in two phases. The first phase as a trial took place for three years. The expectation was that the reform will be rolled out by 2019 or 2020. This article argues that the trial implementation process has achieved very positive outcomes in the lives of a great number of people with disability in Australia. At the same time, NDIS is facing many serious challenges in some areas. One of the obvious challenges is that this reform is a market approached reform. The second challenge relates to meeting the needs of minorities. People with disabilities from Culturally and Linguistically Divers (CALD) backgrounds are one of the five most venerable, underutilised users of NDIS services in Australia. They have no strong voice and negotiable abilities. The main question here is how NDIS is to meet its commitment to satisfy the needs of these vulnerable people in Australia.

It is well known that the earth population is aging; in the forthcoming decades, a so called “silver tsunami” is expected. By 2050 the forecasted population aged 65 years or more, is expected to be globally about 2 billion. Simultaneously, a “technological tsunami” related to advances in digital technology and especially mobile telephony and the internet and accompanied by cloud computing and the Internet of Things has appeared. In this article the role of mobile technologies towards the quality of life improvement for the aged population is investigated in an effort to answer the question: “will these two tsunamis operate in a synergistic manner for the benefit of the third age?”

Objective of this study is to investigate the potential of an artificial intelligence (AI) technique, based on competitive learning, for the discrimination of benign from malignant endometrial nuclei and lesions. For this purpose, 416 liquid-based cytological smears with histological confirmation were collected, each smear corresponded to one patient. From each smear was extracted nuclear morphometric features by the application of an image analysis system. Subsequently nuclei measurement from 50% of the cases were used to train the AI system to classify each individual nucleus as benign or malignant. The remaining measurement, from the unused 50% of the cases, were used for AI system performance evaluation. Based on the results of nucleus classification the patients were discriminated as having benign or malignant disease by a secondary subsystem specifically trained for this purpose. Based on the results it was conclude that AI based computerized systems have the potential for the classification of both endometrial nuclei and lesions.

Although a considerable amount of knowledge is gathered concerning diseases and their transmission, still more is to learn on their mathematical modelling. The present work reviews the existent knowledge on models of epidemiological dispersion, the creation of a new form of an epidemiological diffusion equation, and the subsequent application of this equation to the investigation of epidemiological phenomena. Towards that scope, the authors have used mathematical models which have been previously reported, as well as algorithmic approaches of stochastic nature for the solution of complex functions. In particular, they have used dynamic programming algorithms, Robbins-Monro and Kiefer-Wolfowitz stochastic optimization algorithms, Markov chains and cellular automata. The modified diffusion equation could potentially provide a useful tool to the investigation of epidemiological phenomena. More research is required in order to explore the extent of its possibilities and uses.

Lately, spatial models have become a powerful, necessary statistical tool to estimate parameters where data are represented by regions of interests using the window method . Estimation processes based on the high dimensionality of the data have become difficult to implement especially in cases where variability in the spatial models is the main task to investigate. Variability between spatial models considering hierarchical levels of scale, most of the time, involves errors leading to uncertainty in spatial regions. Solving the problem with uncertainty via the estimation of errors in spatial models, complex models could be simplified in easiest ones and important decisions for the quality of data could be taken.
