Wormhole dynamics in spherical symmetry [PDF]
A dynamical theory of traversable wormholes is detailed in spherical symmetry. Generically a wormhole consists of a tunnel of trapped surfaces between two mouths, defined as temporal outer trapping horizons with opposite senses, in mutual causal contact.

A Novel Face-tracking Mouth Controller and its Application to Interacting with Bioacoustic Models [PDF]
We describe a simple, computationally light, real-time system for tracking the lower face and extracting information about the shape of the open mouth from a video sequence. The system allows unencumbered control of audio synthesis modules by the action of the mouth.

A 37 mm Spindle Cell Lipoma on the Floor of the Mouth
Spindle cell lipoma (SCL) is a rare variety of lipoma that mostly arises in male patients and rarely affects the oral cavity. The floor of the mouth is an uncommon site for SCL, and very few cases have been reported in this location.

A flexible multivariate random effects proportional odds model with application to adverse effects during radiation therapy [PDF]
Radiation therapy in patients with head and neck cancer has a toxic effect on mucosa, the soft tissue in and around the mouth. Hence mucositis is a serious common side effect and is a condition characterized by pain and inflammation of the surface of the mucosa.

Carcinoma Colon with Unusual Sites of Metastases: Two Case Reports
Metastasis from colon cancer occurs mainly via hematogenous and lymphatic routes. Sites like skin and floor of the mouth are rarely involved and determine poor prognosis.

Detecting and Counting Pistachios based on Deep Learning [PDF]
Pistachios are nutritious nuts that are sorted based on the shape of their shell into two categories: Open-mouth and Closed-mouth. The open-mouth pistachios are higher in price, value, and demand than the closed-mouth pistachios. Because of these differences, it is considerable for production companies to precisely count the number of each kind.

Large Plunging Ranula Presenting as Isolated Neck Swelling: Steps in Diagnosis and Surgical Steps in Management [PDF]
Ranula is a salivary gland cyst which typically present as localized superficial swelling over the floor of mouth. Complex or plunging ranulas develop when the mucus extravasation extends through or around the mylohyoid muscle, deeper into the neck, and

Co-existence of Congenital Epidermoid Cyst and Ranula in a Newborn. Report of a Unique Case
Background: Congenital cystic swellings involving the floor of the mouth include various lesions such as developmental cysts (e.g., dermoid and epidermoid cysts), ranulas, vascular malformations etc. However, coexistence of such conditions, possibly with

Trastuzumab‐deruxtecan, a HER2‐targeting antibody‐drug conjugate, shows promising antitumor activity in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma with low HER2 expression. In vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated dose‐dependent cell death and tumor growth reduction in low HER2‐expressing cell lines, which correlated with drug accumulation measured using a
