Retinal photograph-based deep learning algorithms for myopia and a blockchain platform to facilitate artificial intelligence medical research: a retrospective multicohort study.

BACKGROUND: By 2050, almost 5 billion people globally are projected to have myopia, of whom 20% are likely to have high myopia with clinically significant risk of sight-threatening complications such as myopic macular degeneration. These are diagnoses that typically require specialist assessment or measurement with multiple unconnected pieces of equipment. Artificial intelligence (AI) approaches m...

The fifth dimension in esthetic dentistry.

Every human smile is unique and special, reflecting the different shapes, textures, and colors of the teeth as well as their combinations. This uniqueness conveys a direct and specific message when it comes to creating a new smile design. Dentists need to consider the 'unity of the whole' concept in this task, which involves bringing together biology, structure, function, and esthetics to create t...
