Clinical Outcomes of Intensity Modulated Proton Therapy for Salivary Gland Carcinoma: High Local Control and Quality of Life Preservation

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background In recent years, particle therapy has shown promise as a local treatment for salivary gland carcinoma (SGC); however, its efficacy and safety remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of intensity‐modulated proton therapy (IMPT) for SGC.

Synchronous bilateral multifocal basal cell adenomas of the parotid gland—a case report

BMC Oral Health, 2022
Background Bilateral parotid gland tumors account for up to 3% of cases. In this group, the vast majority are Warthin’s tumors. However, bilateral presentations of other parotid gland tumor entities is also possible, an example of which is a basal cell ...

Mutual Attention-based Hybrid Dimensional Network for Multimodal Imaging Computer-aided Diagnosis [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Recent works on Multimodal 3D Computer-aided diagnosis have demonstrated that obtaining a competitive automatic diagnosis model when a 3D convolution neural network (CNN) brings more parameters and medical images are scarce remains nontrivial and challenging.

Conversion Surgery After Administration of a TRK Inhibitor for Unresectable Parotid Gland Secretory Carcinoma

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The NTRK fusion gene is detected in most salivary gland secretory carcinomas. While tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) inhibitors are used for various solid tumors with the fusion gene, there are no reports regarding TRK inhibitor use for unresectable parotid gland carcinomas that subsequently shrink and become resectable.

Prior Guided Deep Difference Meta-Learner for Fast Adaptation to Stylized Segmentation [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
When a pre-trained general auto-segmentation model is deployed at a new institution, a support framework in the proposed Prior-guided DDL network will learn the systematic difference between the model predictions and the final contours revised and approved by clinicians for an initial group of patients.

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 (

Novel Endoscopic‐Assisted Long Plate Approach for Mandibular Condylar Fracture Reconstruction—A Preliminary Study

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mandibular condylar fractures can lead to facial asymmetry, malocclusion, and temporomandibular joint instability. To minimize the risk of these issues, endoscopic‐assisted reduction techniques were developed. Nevertheless, the confined working space inherent in endoscopic procedures poses challenges, especially in cases with unstable fracture

TA-Net: Topology-Aware Network for Gland Segmentation [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Gland segmentation is a critical step to quantitatively assess the morphology of glands in histopathology image analysis. However, it is challenging to separate densely clustered glands accurately. Existing deep learning-based approaches attempted to use contour-based techniques to alleviate this issue but only achieved limited success. To address this

Office‐Based Drainage of a Parapharyngeal Abscess with Surgeon‐Performed Transoral Ultrasound

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This case report presents the use of transoral ultrasound as a novel imaging technique to diagnose and aspirate a parapharyngeal abscess (PPA) under local anesthesia in an outpatient setting. A parapharyngeal abscess (PPA) was diagnosed and aspirated under local anesthesia using transoral ultrasound by an ENT surgeon.
