Urethral reconstruction in severe hypospadias using buccal mucosa graft and penile skin flap [PDF]
Introduction. Hypospadias represents the most frequent penile anomaly. The most challenging part of hypospadias surgery is urethral reconstruction. Many various tissues are used (local skin flaps, bladder mucosa grafts, buccal mucosa grafts etc.) for ...

Spectral region optimization for Raman-based optical diagnosis of inflammatory lesions [PDF]
FT-Raman Spectroscopy was applied to identify biochemical alterations existing between inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia (IFH) and normal tissues of buccal mucosa. One important implication of this study is related to the cancer lesion border. In fact, the cancerous normal border line is characterized by the presence of inflammation and its correct ...

Physical model simulator-trained neural network for computational 3D phase imaging of multiple-scattering samples [PDF]
Recovering 3D phase features of complex, multiple-scattering biological samples traditionally sacrifices computational efficiency and processing time for physical model accuracy and reconstruction quality. This trade-off hinders the rapid analysis of living, dynamic biological samples that are often of greatest interest to biological research. Here, we

Monitoring histological changes in oral mucosa using AgNORs as biomarkers for oxygenic stress in smokers and COPD patients [PDF]
Background: It is well known that tobacco smoke causes cellular proliferation and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but changes in buccal mucosa cells in smokers and COPD patients remains unknown.

Protective effect of Withaferin-A on micronucleus frequency and detoxication agents during experimental oral carcinogenesis [PDF]
Our aim was to investigate the effect of Withaferin-A on bone marrow micronucleus frequency andbuccal mucosa detoxication agents during 7, 12–dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) induced hamster buccal pouch carcinogenesis.

Crestal approach for repair of oroantral bone defects and subsequent implant placement
Abstract Background Oroantral communication (OAC) can occur after a dental extraction. Occasionally, bony defects may persist despite successful soft tissue closure of the OAC. The absence of bone in these areas poses challenges for dental implant placement.

Abstract Aim The aim of the present study was to evaluate soft and hard tissue alterations around implants with a modified marginal portion placed in a healed, sloped ridge over 3 years of follow‐up. Material and Methods 65 patients with a single recipient implant site in an alveolar ridge with a lingual‐buccal sloped configuration were recruited ...

SLUGBOT, an Aplysia-inspired Robotic Grasper for Studying Control [PDF]
Living systems can use a single periphery to perform a variety of tasks and adapt to a dynamic environment. This multifunctionality is achieved through the use of neural circuitry that adaptively controls the reconfigurable musculature. Current robotic systems struggle to flexibly adapt to unstructured environments.

Fibrolipoma of the Buccal Mucosa: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Lipomas are common benign soft tissue neoplasms derived from mature adipose tissue. However, they rarely arise in the oral cavity. Fibrolipoma is a histological variant of lipoma that mainly affects the buccal mucosa and causes functional and cosmetic ...

Keratoprostheses for corneal blindness: a review of contemporary devices [PDF]
According to the World Health Organization, globally 4.9 million are blind due to corneal pathology. Corneal transplantation is successful and curative of the blindness for a majority of these cases. However, it is less successful in a number of diseases
