STRIAA (Severity TRichoscopy Index Alopecia Areata): Validation of a Novel Trichoscopic Tool for Evaluation of Alopecia Areata by Michela Starace, Francesca Pampaloni, Federico Quadrelli, Stephano Cedirian, Luca Rapparini, Francesca Bruni, Bianca Maria Piraccini

“…The aim of this study was to validate a novel trichoscopic scoring tool, the Severity TRichoscopy Index for Alopecia Areata (STRIAA), for rapid assessment of AA severity. Methods Anonymized images from 340 patients were scored by two independent raters who analyzed four scalp areas (vertex, occipital, and left and right parietal) for trichoscopic signs: black dots, yellow dots, exclamation mark hairs, broken hairs, and short vellus hairs. …”

Study and restoration of the costume of the HuoLang (Peddler) in the Ming Dynasty of China by Zhu Chun, Gao Yuanyuan, Wang Jianping, Zeng Xianyi, Bruniaux Pascal, Liu Kaixuan

“…This study looks at two aspects of ancient Chinese genre painting to interpret the more realistic ancient shopping scenes in the painting of the peddler in spring scenery in the Ming Dynasty, namely, the Ming spring scene and the characters’ costume image features. Through the analysis of the detailed characteristics of the style, structure, pattern, and color of the figure costume in the painting of the peddler, a total of five sets of figure costume for an adult male and four children in the painting of the peddler in the spring scenery of the Ming Dynasty in China were digitally restored using the 3D virtual fitting technology, which clearly showed the characteristics of the figure costume of the peddler and children in the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644). …”
