: This article traces the history of the development of artificial intelligence as a science that constantly responds to current problems that arise in medical practice. Attention is drawn to the fact that almost all modern neural systems of medical diagnostics are static. This means that they do not have a time axis, and therefore can only make diagnoses of diseases at the current time. As a result, doctors have to make prescriptions for prevention and treatment courses without checking on computer models what this may lead to in the future. Thus, consciously or unconsciously, doctors have to experiment on patients, which is an ethical problem. This article shows that this centuries-old ethical problem can be solved by further development and application of modern methods of artificial intelligence. Optimal selection of prevention and treatment courses can be made by virtual predictive experimentation on dynamic computer models of patients.

A brief overview of the most interesting reports and events held on November 28–29, 2019 at the St. Petersburg State Electrotechnical University "VI All-Russian Scientific and Practical Conference of X-ray Manufacturers" is presented. As a result of the work, a collection of conference materials was released. The central event of the conference was an excursion to the plant of JSC Svetlana-X-ray, where the general director is Ph.D. N. A. Kulikov spoke in detail about the existing production technologies and plans for the future, after which a tour was conducted on all the shops of the enterprise. The conference reports were divided into two areas: “Technical means of medical diagnostics” and “Methods of using technical means of medical diagnostics”, although some reports did not fully comply with the aforementioned topics. The conference organizers consciously took such a step so as not to split the meetings into a large number of sections. The most interesting and informative reports were made on the section “Technical means”. For novice researchers and graduate students of Russian universities, special conditions were created that allowed them to participate in the conference with their own reports. More information about the conference materials can be found on the website http://www.x-ray-conf.ru/, which contains the materials of all previous conferences starting from the first All-Russian Conference of X-ray Equipment Manufacturers held in St. Petersburg on November 21, 2014.

Summary Objectives: Medical image computing has become a key technology in high-tech applicationsin medicine. Nowadays, medical image computing techniques are applied in daily routine in various medical disciplines. However, further developments are needed to improve computer-aided diagnoses and computer-assisted therapy planning and performance in the future. In this issue selected contributions of the German Conference on Medical Image Processing (BVM) are assembled to present latest advances in the field of medical image computing. Methods: The winners of scientific awards of the German Conferences on Medical Image Processing (BVM) 2005 and 2006 were invited to submit a manuscript on their latest developments and results for possible publication in Methods of Information in Medicine. Finally, eleven excellent papers were selected to describe important aspects of recent advances in the field of medical image computing. Results: The selected papers give an impression of the broad range and heterogeneity of new developments in the field of medical image computing. New methods for improved image reconstruction, image segmentation, modelling of organs, as well as methodical improvements of non-linear image registration algorithms are presented together with applications of image analysis methods in different medical disciplines. Conclusions: The selected articles describe different aspects of the intense development in medical image computing. The image computing methods presented enable new insights into the patient’s image data and have the future potential to improve medical diagnostics and patient treatment.

A symposium on the future of the International Latitude Service (I. L. S.) is to be held in Helsinki in July 1960. My report for the symposium consists of two parts. Part I, denoded (Mk I) was published [1] earlier in 1960 under the title “Latitude and Longitude, and the Secular Motion of the Pole”. Part II is the present paper, denoded (Mk II).

Second-epoch photographs have now been obtained for nearly 850 of the 1246 fields of the proper motion program with centers at declination -20° and northwards. For the sky at 0° and northward only 130 fields remain to be taken in the next year or two. The 270 southern fields with centers at -5° to -20° remain for the future.

Human And Mouse

Metaphase chromosomes from human and mouse cells in vitro are isolated by micrurgy, fixed, and placed on grids for electron microscopy. Interpretations of electron micrographs by current methods indicate the following structural features.Chromosomal spindle fibrils about 200Å thick form fascicles about 600Å thick, wrapped by dense spiraling fibrils (DSF) less than 100Å thick as they near the kinomere. Such a fascicle joins the future daughter kinomere of each metaphase chromatid with those of adjacent non-homologous chromatids to either side. Thus, four fascicles (SF, 1-4) attach to each metaphase kinomere (K). It is thought that fascicles extend from the kinomere poleward, fray out to let chromosomal fibrils act as traction fibrils against polar fibrils, then regroup to join the adjacent kinomere.

Freeze Etching

In his pioneering demonstration of the potential of freeze-etching in biological systems, Russell Steere assessed the future promise and limitations of the technique with remarkable foresight. Item 2 in his list of inherent difficulties as they then stood stated “The chemical nature of the objects seen in the replica cannot be determined”. This defined a major goal for practitioners of freeze-fracture which, for more than a decade, seemed unattainable. It was not until the introduction of the label-fracture-etch technique in the early 1970s that the mould was broken, and not until the following decade that the full scope of modern freeze-fracture cytochemistry took shape. The culmination of these developments in the 1990s now equips the researcher with a set of effective techniques for routine application in cell and membrane biology.Freeze-fracture cytochemical techniques are all designed to provide information on the chemical nature of structural components revealed by freeze-fracture, but differ in how this is achieved, in precisely what type of information is obtained, and in which types of specimen can be studied.
