Abstract Objective To determine the impact of chronic dental disease on the nasolacrimal duct of chinchillas using contrast CT dacryocystorhinography. Animals Studied Two 12‐year‐old female chinchillas with uni‐ or bilateral ocular discharge and a history of chronic, moderate (Chinchilla 1, one‐year) or severe (Chinchilla 2, three‐years) dental disease.

Meta-SAC: Auto-tune the Entropy Temperature of Soft Actor-Critic via Metagradient [PDF]
Exploration-exploitation dilemma has long been a crucial issue in reinforcement learning. In this paper, we propose a new approach to automatically balance between these two. Our method is built upon the Soft Actor-Critic (SAC) algorithm, which uses an "entropy temperature" that balances the original task reward and the policy entropy, and hence ...

Dacriocistocele congênita: diagnóstico ultrassonográfico ante e pós-natal [PDF]
Congenital dacryocystocele is an unusual type of nasolacrimal obstruction. Treatment with antibiotics or surgical removal is practiced to reduce the risks of infection (acute dacryocystitis) and potentially lethal septicemia.

ABSTRACT Purpose To describe a surgical method for correcting lower lid entropion, lateral canthal entropion, and macroblepharon. Methods Lid margins were incised at a 45° angle, and lateral lid margins and a rhomboid shaped piece of skin were resected based on the degree of macroblepharon.

Transitional cell carcinoma of lacrimal sac presenting as a massive swelling and dacryohemorrhea
Transitional cell carcinomas (TCCs) of lacrimal sac are extremely uncommon neoplasms with high degree of invasiveness, local recurrence, and distant metastasis despite an aggressive treatment. They generally present with epiphora and lacrimal mass lesion

Predictive Information Accelerates Learning in RL [PDF]
The Predictive Information is the mutual information between the past and the future, I(X_past; X_future). We hypothesize that capturing the predictive information is useful in RL, since the ability to model what will happen next is necessary for success on many tasks.

The Semantic Adjacency Criterion in Time Intervals Mining [PDF]
Frequent temporal patterns discovered in time-interval-based multivariate data, although syntactically correct, might be non-transparent: For some pattern instances, there might exist intervals for the same entity that contradict the pattern's usual meaning.

A study to observe the effectiveness of dacryocystectomy in the management of chronic dacryocystitis
Background: Diseases of the Lacrimal sac could be secondary to the disease of the neighboring areas, namely, that of nose, orbit, and the face. And yet, the diseases of the Lacrimal sac can spread to these areas. Aims and Objectives: The present study
