Abstract: A dental preparation block guide comprises a chamber that is customized to receive at least one tooth of a patient for a shape-optimized restoration of the at least one tooth; and a channel formed in a surface of the block guide at a location selected relative to the shape-optimized restoration to be performed, the channel comprising an aperture extending through the surface to the chamber such that a dental handpiece can be inserted into and guided within the channel while a tool of the dental handpiece can interact with the at least one tooth in the chamber through the aperture to form a shape-optimized preparation in the at least one tooth to receive the shape-optimized restoration. Related methods and system, as well as other devices, also are disclosed.

Abstract: An example technique for treating a skin cancer condition includes administering a therapeutically effective amount of a p53-related protein kinase (PRPK) inhibitor to a patient having skin cancer or having a high risk of developing skin cancer. An example composition includes a therapeutically effective amount of a PRPK inhibitor for treating a skin cancer condition. An example composition includes a pharmaceutically effective amount of at least one anti-solar ultraviolet (anti-sUV) combination for preventing a skin cancer condition. The at least one anti-sUV combination is chosen from the combinations: avobenzone and octinoxate; octocrylene and zinc oxide; avobenzone, octocrylene, and titanium dioxide; or avobenzone, octocrylene, and zinc oxide.

Abstract: Denoised magnetic resonance images are generated using a two-step process. An initial set of images is first denoised on a per channel basis using a locally low-rank-based denoising technique. The denoised coil channel images are transformed back into k-space and the denoised k-space data are then applied to a nonlinear image reconstruction. In some instances, the nonlinear image reconstruction can be implemented using a trained neural network. The neural network may be trained using a self-supervised learning technique.

Abstract: Systems and methods for adaptively controlling an electrical stimulation device, such as a closed-loop stimulation device, based in part on a Bayesian optimization of the operational parameters of the device are described. An adaptive dual control of the stimulation device can be provided. In a first control loop parameters are extracted from signals recorded from the subject by the stimulation device, and in a second control loop a Bayesian optimization is implemented with a hardware processor and memory to compute updated operational parameters for the stimulation device. As noted, the stimulation device is an electrical stimulation device, and may be a closed-loop stimulation device. Such devices can be used for deep brain stimulation (“DBS”), cardiac resynchronization therapy (“CRT”), and other electrophysiological stimulation applications.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of decentralized multi-agent learning for use in a system having a plurality of intelligent agents each having a personal portion and a shared portion, is provided. The method includes iteratively, until each of a personal goal and a network goal are optimized: determining a feedback associated with an action relative to a personal goal and a degree of similarity relative to a shared goal; adjusting a policy based on the feedback to gain a superior feedback from a next action; broadcasting the shared policy; receiving the at least one of the one or more other intelligent agents' shared policy; generating a combined policy by combining the personal policy and the at least one of the one or more other intelligent agents' shared policy; estimating, using the combined policy, a network value function; and conducting the next action in accordance with the combined policy.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for creating magnetic resonance (MR) images with reduced motion artifacts from the MR data from which the images are produced. The method includes selecting a candidate image from a plurality of candidate images reconstructed from the MR data. The method also includes registering the candidate image to a reference image, comparing the candidate image to a consistency map, and, based on comparing the candidate image using the consistency map, selecting a blending algorithm. The method also includes generating a blended image using the blending algorithm and the candidate image and repeating these steps for each candidate image. The method also includes performing a Fourier aggregation to generate a combined image and displaying the combined image with reduced motion artifacts compared to the plurality of candidate images.
