Modified micromarsupialization technique as an alternative primary treatment for ranulas: A case series in a resource‐challenged economy

Clinical and Experimental Dental Research, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1434-1439, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Objectives Ranula is one of the commonest salivary gland cysts that mostly occur due to mucus extravasation from the sublingual salivary gland. Treatment of this lesion is still somewhat shrouded in controversy and varies from conservative treatment to surgical excision of the causative gland.

Investigating heterogeneous PSMA ligand uptake inside parotid glands [PDF]

Physica Medica: European Journal of Medical Physics, 2024
The purpose was to investigate the spatial heterogeneity of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET) uptake within parotid glands. We aim to quantify patterns in well-defined regions to facilitate further investigations.

Modeling the Biophysical Effects in a Carbon Beam Delivery Line using Monte Carlo Simulation [PDF]

, 2016
Relative biological effectiveness (RBE) plays an important role in designing a uniform dose response for ion beam therapy. In this study the biological effectiveness of a carbon ion beam delivery system was investigated using Monte Carlo simulation. A carbon ion beam delivery line was designed for the Korea Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator (KHIMA) project.

Long non‐coding RNAs as therapeutic targets in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and clinical application

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) occupy an abundant fraction of the eukaryotic transcriptome and an emerging area in cancer research. Regulation by lncRNAs is based on their subcellular localization in HNSCC. This cartoon shows the various functions of lncRNAs in HNSCC discussed in this review.

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
