Real-time high-resolution omnidirectional imaging platform for drone detection and tracking
Abstract Drones have become steadily affordable, which raises privacy and security concerns as well as interest in drone detection systems. On the other hand, drone detection is a challenging task due to small dimensions of drones, difficulty of long-distance detection, strict real-time constraints and necessity of wide angle coverage for drones. Although different radar and audio-assisted drone detection systems have been presented, they suffer from the cost, range, or interference...

Fast intra-mode decision for depth map coding in 3D-HEVC
Abstract 3D-high efficiency video coding (3D-HEVC) contains more encoding viewpoints than traditional HEVC, resulting in a significant increase of coding complexity. In this paper, we propose a low complexity intra mode decision algorithm to reduce the number of intra modes by detecting the flat area and texture direction of the depth map. The corresponding intra prediction modes are skipped when the flat region condition is satisfied. Otherwise, the direction of the edge is detected...

Methodology The root canals of 31 mandibular molars were divided into 4 groups: 1. the control group, without root fillings; 2. the fracture group, without fillings and with fractured files; 3. the fill group, with root filling; and 4. the fill/fracture group, root filled and with fractured...

The Extra Domain A of fibronectin facilitates osteoclastogenesis in radicular cysts through Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor
Abstract Aim To analyse the effects of the alternatively spliced fibronectin (FN) gene and its isoforms on osteoclastogenesis in radicular cysts. Methodology Specimens of radicular cysts were collected surgically from 22 patients whose radiolucent periapical areas were measured on digital panoramic radiographs before surgery. The associations between the radiolucent areas and FN isoforms, Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) expression or micro‐vessel density, as well as the relationships...

Surgery for adult laryngeal papillomatosis
Publication date: Available online 26 October 2019Source: Operative Techniques in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck SurgeryAuthor(s): Adi Primov-Fever, Ory MadgarRecurrent laryngeal papillomatosis is a viral (human papillomavirus) disease that causes the growth of epithelial verrucous lesions. Patients with laryngeal papillomatosis undergo multiple surgeries due to the tendency of the lesions to reoccur and cause recurrent voice and breathing problems. The goal of the surgical treatment is to remove the...

Implant prognosis in irradiated versus non-irradiated nasal, orbital and auricular sites
The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate implant survival in irradiated nasal, auricular, orbital sites and to compare them with non-irradiated respective sites. Four electronic databases and seven related journals were searched until December and March 2018, respectively. A total of 7892 articles were identified, 18 of which were included in this review; one non-randomized clinical trial, two prospective cohort, eight retrospective cohort and seven cross-sectional studies. Using the...

Unusual metastatic presentations of a primary right parapharyngeal acinic cell adenocarcinoma
Acinic cell adenocarcinoma (ACA) is a malignant epithelial neoplasm of the salivary glands. The patient reported herein presented with an unusual case of a metastatic ACA originating from the right parapharyngeal region, which eventually metastasized to the ipsilateral cavernous sinus and the contralateral mandibular ramus. The trigeminal nerve may have served as a channel for the spread of the cancer from the right parapharyngeal region to the cavernous sinus, and subsequently to the left mandibular...

Re: Management of seborrhoeic keratosis and actinic keratosis with an erbium: Yag laser —experience with 547 patients
Thank you for asking us to comment on the letter received from the reader. The photograph in our article is of the same patient at 6 months post-treatment1. The photograph was taken in the same room with a similar environment; unfortunately the patient wore the same shirt. We have enclosed a more recent photograph taken at 6 years post-treatment with a similar profile (Fig. 1). (Source: International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

Comparison of intraosseous and submucosal dexamethasone injection in mandibular third molar surgery: a split-mouth randomized clinical trial
The objective of this study was to compare the effect of intraosseous dexamethasone injection and submucosal dexamethasone injection on postoperative sequelae after mandibular third molar surgery. This was a randomized, triple-blind, split-mouth clinical trial. Fifty-four mandibular third molars (27 patients) were subdivided according to the side (right and left); intraosseous injection of dexamethasone (4mg) was randomly assigned to one side and submucosal injection to the other. All surgeries were...

Effect of third molars in the line of mandibular angle fractures on postoperative complications: systematic review and meta-analysis
The aim of this systematic review was to verify whether the presence of a lower third molar in the mandibular angle fracture line is associated with postoperative complications. An electronic survey was conducted in five databases. Eligibility criteria included observational and experimental studies that evaluated the association between the presence of the lower third molar in the fracture line of mandibular angle fractures and possible postoperative complications, including infection, paresthesia,...
