A Thermal-Imaging System and Machine-Learning Classification Algorithm for Skin Cancer Screening
No full textSkin cancer affects over 2 million people worldwide each year. Although dermoscopy is the gold standard screening technique, it only assesses the superficial features of skin lesions. Novel approaches based on thermal investigation have revealed a correlation between thermal recovery and vascular pattern alterations, which is an important factor in discriminating malignant and benign lesions. In this study, a dynamic thermal-imaging system was designed, developed, and validated in a real clinical scenario. The system is non-invasive, compact, and cost-effective, comprising a cooling probe and an image acquisition system equipped with RGB and thermal cameras. The system incorporates a machine-learning classification algorithm for skin cancer screening. The system showed an accuracy of 89.7% in distinguishing between malignant and benign lesions in a case study involving 58 patients and classified sub-classes of lesions (i.e., melanoma and nevi) with an accuracy of 95.5%. These findings underscore the potential benefit of the proposed dynamic thermal-imaging system as a support tool for non-invasive screening and early detection of malignant skin lesions. © 2018 IEEE
How Will Nanomedicine Revolutionize Future Dentistry and Periodontal Therapy?
Get PDFPeriodontitis is a prevalent inflammatory disease affecting the supporting structures of the teeth, leading to gum recession, tooth loss, and systemic health complications. Traditional diagnostic methods and treatments, such as clinical evaluation and scaling, often fall short in early detection and targeted therapy, particularly in complex or advanced cases. Recent advancements in nanomedicine offer promising solutions for improving both the diagnosis and treatment of periodontitis. Nanoparticles, such as liposomes, quantum dots, and nanorods, have demonstrated potential in enhancing diagnostic accuracy by enabling more precise detection of periodontal pathogens and biomarkers at the molecular level. Furthermore, nanotechnology-based therapies, including drug delivery systems and antimicrobial agents, offer localized and controlled release of therapeutic agents, enhancing efficacy and reducing side effects compared to conventional treatments. This study reviews the current applications of nanomedicine in the diagnosis and treatment of periodontitis, highlighting its potential to revolutionize periodontal care by improving early detection, reducing treatment times, and enhancing therapeutic outcomes

No full textLa revocatoria ordinaria nelle riflessioni di Giuseppe Giacomo Auletta: contributo allo studio della responsabilità e della garanzia patrimoniale
No full textLo studio del pensiero di Auletta sull’azione revocatoria costituisce occasione per riflettere, in prospettiva storico-evolutiva, su tematiche classiche quali i rapporti tra obbligo e garanzia/responsabilità patrimoniale nonché per scontrarsi con la secolare tenzone tra diritto sostanziale e diritto processuale che sovente connota l’analisi dei fenomeni giuridici, che ancóra oggi non può dirsi sopita e che sta assumendo forme nuove, evidenziando l’esigenza, sempre più avvertita, di superare e ricondurre a unità tale (presunto) dualismo
First international workshop on Abruzzo’s historical heritage
Get PDFThe First International Workshop on Abruzzo's Historical Heritage, "Castel di Sangro: Technologies and Design," took place from July 20-27, 2024. This event, part of a decade-long series, aimed to train future architects through an essential dialectical relationship between architecture and archaeology. The workshop integrated theory and practice, focusing on digital survey, modeling, and design for historical heritage. It highlighted the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and community involvement
Ho ancora le mani per scrivere. Testimonianze dal genicidio a Gaza (a cura di A. Nicosia)
No full textTestimonianze reali del genocidio in atto a Gaza, da parte di numerosi autori, tra scrittori, poeti, giornalisti o semplici cittadini della Striscia. Le testimonianze, diffuse perlopiù sui social, coprono un arco temporale che va da ottobre 2023 a fine settembre 202
