Parameter estimation in Cox models with missing failure indicators and the OPPERA study [PDF]

arXiv, 2013
In a prospective cohort study, examining all participants for incidence of the condition of interest may be prohibitively expensive. For example, the "gold standard" for diagnosing temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a physical examination by a trained clinician. In large studies, examining all participants in this manner is infeasible.

A Personalized 4D Workflow for the Manufacturing of Functional and Removable Esthetic Devices: A Technical Report

Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This technical report describes a fully digital workflow for the manufacturing of a functional removable esthetic device (FRED) that addresses multiple clinical scenarios before prosthetic rehabilitation. The proposed method integrates advanced digital tools to achieve functional and esthetic outcomes while ensuring reversibility and

Weakly Gibbsian representations for joint measures of quenched lattice spin models [PDF]

arXiv, 1999
Can the joint measures of quenched disordered lattice spin models (with finite range) on the product of spin-space and disorder-space be represented as (suitably generalized) Gibbs measures of an ``annealed system''? - We prove that there is always a potential (depending on both spin and disorder variables) that converges absolutely on a set of full ...

Restoration of Severe Tooth Wear: Converting the Splint Jaw Position Into Definitive Restorations

Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Loss of the vertical dimension of occlusion is observed in patients with severe tooth wear and often requires comprehensive prosthodontic treatment. A critical challenge is ensuring the precise transfer of the initially established jaw relationships to the definitive restorations.

Prevalence of temporomandibular joint disorders in patients: An institutional-based study

SRM Journal of Research in Dental Sciences, 2020
Background: Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders symbolize a multifactorial malady which manifests as a painful condition in the orofacial region and have a high prevalence rate among different populations.

An Efficient Joint Source-Channel Decoder with Dynamical Block Priors [PDF]

, 2004
An efficient joint source-channel (s/c) decoder based on the side information of the source and on the MN-Gallager algorithm over Galois fields is presented. The dynamical block priors (DBP) are derived either from a statistical mechanical approach via calculation of the entropy for the correlated sequences, or from the Markovian transition matrix. The

An anatomical investigation of alkaptonuria: Novel insights into ochronosis of cartilage and bone

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Examination of an alkaptonuria body highlights the susceptibility of all cartilage types and associated perichondrium to ochronotic pigmentation and the heterogeneity of ochronotic pigment distribution both within and between tissues. In joints, calcified cartilage pigments before non‐calcified cartilage.

Thickness measurements and micro‐CT imaging of human temporo‐mandibular discs

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This study aimed to analyze the morphology of human temporo‐mandibular discs. We measured thickness at nine points, observed disc perforations, and highlighted the potential of micro‐CT imaging to map thickness variations and improve the diagnosis of TMJ‐related conditions like osteoarthritis.
