Jacob's disease is a rare entity consisting of the formation of a pseudojoint between an abnormal coronoid process of the mandible and the inner surface of the zygomatic bone. First described by Jacob in 1899, its diagnosis and definition have never been entirely univocal. In this paper, we present three emblematic cases and an extensive review of the literature on Jacob's disease. Given the variability observed in the presentation of the disease, we have developed a proposal for the classification, here reported. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract
Syncope is a medical condition resulting in the spontaneous transient loss of consciousness and postural tone with spontaneous recovery. The diagnosis of syncope is a challenging task, as similar types of symptoms are observed in seizures, vertigo, stroke, coma, etc. The advent of Healthcare 4.0, which facilitates the usage of artificial intelligence and big data, has been widely used for diagnosing various diseases based on past historical data. In this paper, classification-based machine learning is used to diagnose syncope based on data collected through a head-up tilt test carried out in a purely clinical setting. This work is concerned with the use of classification techniques for diagnosing neurally mediated syncope triggered by a number of neurocardiogenic or cardiac-related factors. Experimental results show the effectiveness of using classification-based machine learning techniques for an early diagnosis and proactive treatment of neurally mediated syncope.
