Human perception of image complexity: real scenes versus texture patches
No full textThe aim of this work is to study image complexity perception of real images. We conducted psycho-physical experiments where observers judged the complexity of different datasets of images on a web-based interface [1]. At the end of the test, observers indicated the main characteristics that guided their judgements. The databases differed in the type of visual stimuli used: images representing real scenes and/or texture patches. For real scenes the most relevant criteria used were quantity of objects, details and colors, while for texture patches they were regularity and understandability. Several criteria are adopted simultaneously, confirming the multidimensional aspect of complexity found in the literature [2]. To process the subjective data we applied z-scores and outlier removal. The mean scores are then correlated with different visual features. We considered features based on spatial, color and frequency properties that can be associated to bottom-up processes. To take into account top-down effects like understandability we included a memorability index [3]. We propose an image complexity measure where the features are linearly combined. The optimal weighting coefficients are those that best fit the subjective data and depend on the type of stimuli considered. Our measure, properly tuned, can predict complexity perception of different kind of images, outperforming the single visual features. From our investigation two aspects of image complexity can be underlined: many different perceptual properties are involved and their relative influence depends on the type of stimuli. These considerations are supported by both our computational proposal and the verbal description analysis.

Riabilitazione protesica dei pazienti radiotrattati
No full textIl capitolo relativo alla Radioterapia è incentrato sul trattamento dei tumori del distretto cervico-cefalico. In maniera semplice e chiara sono stati messi in luce i punti chiave di questo gruppo di neoplasie che risulato essere sempre in aumento nel nostro paese. Pertanto, grazie alle nuove tecniche avanzate in radioterapia, alle sempre più innovative metodiche di imaging, radiologiche e metaboliche e all'utilizzo di nuovi farmaci chemioterapici siamo giunti ad un maggiore successo in termini di risultati clinici

Restoration of Facial Defects with Digital Technology
No full textThis book takes a step-by-step approach to the resolution of complex facial prosthetic rehabilitations with digital itechnology.
Key features:
• includes coverage of case studies of facial disfiguring due to cancer or trauma using both surgical and prosthetic process
• describes the step-by-step protocol to digitally design ear, oculofacial and nasal prostheses, and to mold manufacturing using modern 3D printing technology
• provide evidence-based state-of-the-art protocol on maxillofacial and craniofacial implant surgery related to the facial rehabilitation
“Restoration of facial defects with digital technology” gives global descriptions of each method so that readers can project, design, and manufacture and maxillofacial prosthesis and customize maxillo facial surgery. It also covers using CAD-CAM technology to reduce the cost and time of making a facial prosthesis. The complete workflow for producing the ear, nasal, and oculofacial prosthesis (implant and mechanically supported) and for oncological maxillo facial surgery is described. The atlas form of the book describes each procedure in a stand-by-step manner so that readers may reproduce the process and obtain improved results will respect to the analogic procedures. This book communicates the most update knowledge and the method of digital technology applied to the maxillofacial rehabilitation workflow, in a way that all may use it as a guide for replication the methodologies presented in this book. This book will help also informatics technicians and biomedical engineers to project and customize the virtual construction of the prosthesis. It also describes how to use the new technology to reduce time and cost of the operatory room. The information in this book will also led readers:
• know the new methodologies to use digital technology instead of analogic procedures by anaplastologists;
• accomplish unusual hygiene procedures of craniofacial implants (Hygienist) ;
• propose prosthetic alternative solution instead of the plastic surgery to the patient who lost ear, nose or facial parts for oncologic or traumatic reasons;
• simplify the plastic reconstructive surgery and the module as a function of the final prosthetic rehabilitation supported by craniofacial implants.
The book has been written by exports in the field, pulling together information from disparate sources into one reference, making it Ideal for anyone working in maxillofacial rehabilitation of the face

Ethical aspects of sexual medicine. Internet, vibrators, and other sex aids: toys or therapeutic instruments?
No full textIntroduction. Sexual health is the result of a complex interplay between social, relational, intrapsychic, and medical aspects. Sexual health care professionals (SHCP) may face several ethical issues. Some SHCP prescribe Internet pornography for both diagnosis and therapy and some others directly sell vibrators and sex aids in their offices. Methods. Five scientists, with different perspectives, debate the ethical aspects in the clinical practice of the SHCP. Main Outcome Measure. To give to the Journal of Sexual Medicine's reader enough data to form her/his own opinion on an important ethical topic. Results. Expert #1, who is Controversy's Section Editor, together with two coworkers, expert psycho-sexologists, reviews data from literature regarding the use of the Internet in the SHCP. Expert #2 argues that licensed professionals, who treat sexual problems, should not sell sexual aids such as vibrators, lubricants, erotica, and instructional DVDs to their clients. On the other hand, Expert #3 is in favor of the possibility, for the patient, to directly purchase sexual aids from the SHCP in order to avoid embarrassment, confusion, and non-adherence to treatment. Conclusion. Evidence and intelligence would suggest that both the Internet (in selected subjects) and the vibrators (in the correct clinical setting), with the due efforts in counseling the patients and tailoring their therapy, are not-harmful, excellent tools in promoting sexual health.
