Mental nerve paresthesia secondary to initiation of endodontic therapy: a case report

Restorative Dentistry & Endodontics, 2014
Whenever endodontic therapy is performed on mandibular posterior teeth, damage to the inferior alveolar nerve or any of its branches is possible. Acute periapical infection in mandibular posterior teeth may also sometimes disturb the normal functioning ...

Fluid-structure interaction analysis of airflow in the lung alveolus [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
The flow simulation in alveolar region is imperative in understanding transport of particles and designing aerosol drug delivery systems. Air flow is dependent on alveolar geometry and ventilation conditions. In this work a three dimensional honey-comb like geometry is constructed.

Immersive Virtual Reality and Deliberate Practice for Complex Skills Acquisition During Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block Training

Journal of Dental Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction This study aimed to determine construct and transfer validity of a virtual reality inferior alveolar nerve (VRIAN) injection simulation to improve the technique of inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) delivery for novice students. Methods Second year dental students (n = 44) were randomized into VR and control groups. At baseline (

Feasibility of Laryngeal Joint Replacement: A Proof of Concept Study in Cadavers

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Treatment in advanced cases of posterior laryngeal stenosis relies on permanent tracheostomy or irreversible arytenoidectomy/cordectomy, which are compromises between voice, swallowing, and airway. While having intact laryngeal neuromuscular function, there is immobility of the vocal cord due to scarring and ankylosis of the cricoarytenoid joint.

Operating Room or In‐Office Injection for Retrograde Cricopharyngeal Dysfunction Botulinum Toxin Injection

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Retrograde Cricopharyngeal Dysfunction (RCPD), also known as “No Burp Syndrome,” is a rare condition characterized by the inability to burp due to cricopharyngeus muscle dysfunction. Patients experience bloating, chest and abdominal discomfort, gurgling sounds, and excessive flatulence, which significantly impact quality of life ...

Proximal Planar Cech Nerves. An Approach to Approximating the Shapes of Irregular, Finite, Bounded Planar Regions [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
This article introduces proximal Cech nerves and Cech complexes, restricted to finite, bounded regions $K$ of the Euclidean plane. A Cech nerve is a collection of intersecting balls. A Cech complex is a collection of nerves that cover $K$. Cech nerves are proximal, provided the nerves are close to each other, either spatially or descriptively.

Tissue classification from raw diffusion‐weighted images using machine learning

Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background In diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI), a large collection of diffusion models is available to provide insights into tissue characteristics. However, these models are limited by predefined assumptions and computational challenges, potentially hindering the full extraction of information from the diffusion MR signal.
