TSegFormer: 3D Tooth Segmentation in Intraoral Scans with Geometry Guided Transformer [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Optical Intraoral Scanners (IOS) are widely used in digital dentistry to provide detailed 3D information of dental crowns and the gingiva. Accurate 3D tooth segmentation in IOSs is critical for various dental applications, while previous methods are error-prone at complicated boundaries and exhibit unsatisfactory results across patients.

Periodontal disease and tooth loss

open access: yesInternational Dental Journal, 1998
Numerous epidemiological studies have shown that caries is the main reason for tooth loss. More recent epidemiological data seem to show an increasing trend of tooth loss due to periodontal reasons rather than caries. In considering the issue of periodontal disease and tooth loss the following observations were made.

State of the Art of Low‐Frequency Acoustic Modulation: Intensity Enhancement and Directional Control

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
High intensity low‐frequency sound sources hold significant value in many fields. However, their long wavelength, strong penetrability, and tendency to diffract make direction control and intensity enhancement challenging. Acoustic generators and metamaterial‐based acoustic devices still face issues such as low energy efficiency, poor directional ...

NIR‐II Fluorescent Protein Created by In Situ Albumin‐Tagging for Sensitive and Specific Imaging of Blood‐Brain Barrier Disruption

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The breakdown of the blood‐brain barrier (BBB) after cerebral ischemia can cause brain injury and induce potentially fatal consequences. Currently, there exist few dependable and low‐cost imaging techniques for visualizing the BBB. This investigation effectively engineered an albumin‐specific covalently tagged near‐infrared‐II (NIR‐II) dye, serving as ...

MTSS2‐Related Disorder: Refining the Phenotype in Four New Cases and Literature Review

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT MTSS2 encodes a protein highly expressed in the central nervous system, with a crucial role in neurodevelopment. The de novo recurrent variant c.2011C>T (p.Arg671Trp) was first identified in 2022 as cause of Intellectual Developmental Disorder with ocular anomalies and distinctive facial features (OMIM#620086).
