Genetic Resilience: A Distinct COPD Subtype In Smokers With High Genetic Risk
Understanding Genetic Resilience in COPD COPD shows substantial variability in how it develops among people who smoke. While a genetic risk score helps predict who is more likely to develop COPD, many individuals with high genetic risk do not actually develop the disease. Recent research introduces the concept of genetic resilience to COPD—a clinically meaningful…

Sex estimation from the sternum in Turkish population using machine learning and deep neural networks
Introduction In forensic anthropology, building a biological profile is essential for identifying unknown human remains. Among the core components, sex estimation informs subsequent analyses of age, stature, and ancestry. The sternum, a central chest bone, has historically received less attention for sex estimation than the skull or pelvis. Recent advances in machine learning and deep…

Sex Estimation from the Sternum in Turkish Population Using Various Machine Learning Methods and Deep Neural Networks
Introduction Sex estimation is a cornerstone of forensic anthropology, helping to build a biological profile from skeletal remains. While much research emphasizes the pelvis and skull, the sternum offers an underexplored source of sexual dimorphism that may be particularly useful when other bones are damaged or unavailable. This article reviews how various machine learning methods…

Yunxian 2 Skull Rewrites the Human Evolution Timeline
New insights from Yunxian 2 A crushed skull discovered in China in 1990, nicknamed Yunxian 2, is at the center of a breakthrough that could reshape how we understand human origins. Using a combination of computed tomography (CT), structured-light imaging, and advanced virtual reconstruction, researchers built a complete model of the skull and compared it…

No Added Benefits of Routine CT Imaging After Left Main Coronary Intervention
Recent research has unveiled significant insights into the post-operative care of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of the left main coronary artery. The study, conducted by a team of cardiovascular experts, aimed to assess the necessity of routine coronary computed tomography (CCT) follow-ups after this critical procedure. Contrary to some prevailing practices, the findings…
