Automated Process Incorporating Machine Learning Segmentation and Correlation of Oral Diseases with Systemic Health [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
Imaging fluorescent disease biomarkers in tissues and skin is a non-invasive method to screen for health conditions. We report an automated process that combines intraoral fluorescent porphyrin biomarker imaging, clinical examinations and machine learning for correlation of systemic health conditions with periodontal disease. 1215 intraoral fluorescent

Adjusting for informative cluster size in pseudo-value based regression approaches with clustered time to event data [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Informative cluster size (ICS) arises in situations with clustered data where a latent relationship exists between the number of participants in a cluster and the outcome measures. Although this phenomenon has been sporadically reported in statistical literature for nearly two decades now, further exploration is needed in certain statistical ...

Use of the Deep Learning Approach to Measure Alveolar Bone Level [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Abstract: Aim: The goal was to use a Deep Convolutional Neural Network to measure the radiographic alveolar bone level to aid periodontal diagnosis. Material and methods: A Deep Learning (DL) model was developed by integrating three segmentation networks (bone area, tooth, cementoenamel junction) and image analysis to measure the radiographic bone ...

Exploring Oral Health Related Quality of Life in Rett Syndrome Using Directed Content Analysis

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT No validated oral health‐related quality of life (OHRQOL) instrument currently exists for those with severe intellectual and developmental disabilities and who communicate non‐verbally. This qualitative study aimed to explore the domains that were important to the oral health‐related quality of life in individuals with Rett syndrome (RTT).

Review of the anatomical basis for predicting plutonium alpha particle radiation induced osteogenic cancers

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Plutonium was discovered and first synthesized in the early 1940's. Several isotopes of plutonium are used in nuclear technologies, 238Pu for heat generation and 239Pu for energy production and weapons. Both isotopes emit alpha particles, which pose a significant radiation hazard when incorporated into the body.
