Rationale: Occlusal appliance is one of methods for temporomandibular joint anterior disc displacement with reduction (ADDWR). However, most studies have focused on the symptom reliefs rather than the disc-condyle positional relationship.

On the joint residence time of N independent two-dimensional Brownian motions [PDF]
We study the behavior of several joint residence times of N independent Brownian particles in a disc of radius $R$ in two dimensions. We consider: (i) the time T_N(t) spent by all N particles simultaneously in the disc within the time interval [0,t]; (ii) the time T_N^{(m)}(t) which at least m out of N particles spend together in the disc within the ...

Multi-class segmentation of temporomandibular joint using ensemble deep learning
Temporomandibular joint disorders are prevalent causes of orofacial discomfort. Diagnosis predominantly relies on assessing the configuration and positions of temporomandibular joint components in magnetic resonance images.

Molecular scale height in spiral galaxies [PDF]
Having to have low thermal energy, the molecular gas in galaxies is expected to settle in a thin disc near the midplane. However, contradicting this understanding, recent studies have revealed considerably thick molecular discs in nearby spiral galaxies.

An Explainable and Conformal AI Model to Detect Temporomandibular Joint Involvement in Children Suffering from Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis [PDF]
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common rheumatic disease during childhood and adolescence. The temporomandibular joints (TMJ) are among the most frequently affected joints in patients with JIA, and mandibular growth is especially vulnerable to arthritic changes of the TMJ in children.

Why does tinnitus vary with naps? A polysomnographic prospective study exploring the somatosensory hypothesis [PDF]
Background: Tinnitus, defined as the conscious awareness of a noise without any identifiable corresponding external acoustic source, can be modulated by various factors. Among these factors, tinnitus patients commonly report drastic increases of tinnitus loudness following nap sleep.

Thick disc molecular gas fraction in NGC 6946 [PDF]
Several recent studies reinforce the existence of a thick molecular disc in galaxies along with the dynamically cold thin disc. Assuming a two-component molecular disc, we model the disc of NGC 6946 as a four-component system consisting of stars, HI, thin disc molecular gas, and thick disc molecular gas in vertical hydrostatic equilibrium.
