Positional Relationship Between the Orbicularis Oculi and Zygomaticus Complex Muscles by Ultrasonography: New Anatomical Insights for Crow's Feet Injection

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The orbicularis oculi muscle (OOc) is strongly associated with facial aging as its contraction causes the formation of crow's feet. Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) injection is a representative treatment targeting muscle. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the anatomical relationship between the OOc and the zygomaticus complex muscles, and ...

Epidemiology and Molecular Characterization of Multiple Avian Influenza A/H5 Subtypes Circulating in House Crow (Corvus splendens) and Poultry in Bangladesh

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2022
Purpose: Bangladesh has faced recurrent house crow (Corvus splendens) mortality incidents due to highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) viruses since 2011. We investigated one such event in Dhaka in 2017 to detect and molecularly characterize the avian

Hybrid Osprey‐Salp Swarm Optimization Algorithm for Single and Multiobjective Optimal Power Flow in Smart Grids With Renewable Energy Integration

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
The proposed hybrid osprey‐salp swarm optimization algorithm addresses optimal power flow (OPF) problems in smart grids incorporating solar, hydro, and thermal generators. The algorithm is validated on Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers 30‐, 57‐, and 118‐bus test systems across five single and multiobjective OPF scenarios.
