BACKGROUND: Auricular acupuncture point (AAP) therapy is an important part of traditional Chinese medicine and is featured with a sophisticated location method based on the division of auricular subzones. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to realize the automatic computerized division on the relatively small area of the research object which has long been considered difficult. METHOD: We propose a novel method based on the active shape model algorithm and the “Name and location of AAPs” issued by the World Federation of Acupuncture-Moxibustion Societies (WFAS STANDARD-002:2013). RESULTS: The experimental results showed that the subzones of the auricle could be divided for the location of AAPs using the proposed method automatically and efficiently. The average Hausdorff distance and Euclid distance of landmarks between the machine and the manual positioning were 6.28 ± 0.50 and 6.67 ± 0.59, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The proposed method might provide benefits for further development of therapeutic and educational applications of AAPs.

Precise extraction of facial feature points is fundamental to a variety of applications including face processing and human-machine interface. In this paper, a novel method of extracting facial feature points for profile faces is presented. This program is mainly based on a 3D rotation model of head and Active Shape Model (ASM). First we transform a profile face to a corresponding frontal face. Then, we implement the ASM program on the frontal face image. According to the relation between the profile face and frontal face, the final position of feature points on the profile face is obtained. We take limited facial feature points to do experiments and results show this kind of method is pretty effective.

This study aims to inaugurate the comparison among entire hip bone mineral density (RMD) by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and a humble clavicle radiogrammetry complete from the ribcage radiograph that provides the result of extraordinary sensitivity and specificity for forecasting full hip BMD from ribcage radiograph for assessment of osteoporosis. Clavicle Radiogrammetry is a method to measure morphometric dimensions like the other and inner diameter of the clavicle at its mid-shaft. Form these measurements; the following Bone Mass Indices are to be calculated, such as the cortical thickness and the Relative thickness. The Clavicle bone is separated from the digital chest X-ray. The Clavicle bone is identified and separated using Active Shape Model algorithm. After this, the morphometric measurements are done. The outcome of the study is whether the digitized chest X-ray analyzed is helpful in the evaluation of osteoporosis or not.

In order to identify promising strategic development possibilities for the pharmaceutical industry in the Russian Federation, a pilot study was conducted, which has analyzed the main trends in the development of innovative medicines. As a result of the content analysis of available sources of scientific literature, the characteristics of options used in the world practice for increasing the innovative activity of individual subjects and the pharmaceutical market as a whole are presented. Possible reserves for the further development of the innovative component of the pharmaceutical market within the framework of the concept of personalized medicine according to the P4 principle (predictive - personalized - preventive - participatory) are identified and structured. The results of use by individual pharmaceutical companies of scientifically and practically justified approaches to optimizing the costs of development and promoting drugs are presented. The advantages and real prospects of a generally accepted method to reduce the cost of development by «expanding the pharmacological effect» (label expansion) of already existing drugs with a known safety profile in the world practice are shown. A scientific generalization and structuring of the goals and results of the post-registration phase of clinical trials to expand the pharmacological action of a number of drugs already existed at the market have been carried out.

Abstract Background A central construct in Schema Therapy (ST) is that of a schema mode, describing the current emotional-cognitive-behavioral state. Initially, 10 modes were described. Over time, with the world-wide increasing and broader application of ST to various disorders, additional schema modes were identified, mainly based on clinical impressions. Thus, the need for a new, theoretically based, cross-cultural taxonomy of modes emerged. Methods An international workgroup started from scratch to identify an extensive taxonomy of modes, based on (a) extending the theory underlying ST with new insights on needs, and (b) recent research on ST theory supporting that modes represent combinations of activated schemas and coping. Results We propose to add two emotional needs to the original five core needs that theoretically underpin the development of early maladaptive schemas (EMSs), i.e., the need for Self-Coherence, and the need for Fairness, leading to three new EMSs, i.e. Lack of a Coherent Identity, Lack of a Meaningful World, and Unfairness. When rethinking the purpose behind the different ways of coping with EMS-activation, we came up with new labels for two of those: Resignation instead of Surrender, and Inversion instead of Overcompensation. By systematically combining EMSs and ways of coping we derived a set of schema modes that can be empirically tested. Conclusions With this project, we hope to contribute to the further development of ST and its application across the world.
