Temporomandibular Joint Ankylosis Can Be Successfully Treated With TMJ Concepts Patient Fitted Total Joint Prosthesis and Autogenous Fat Grafts.
Venue: Journal of oral and maxillofacial surgery official journal of the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons

To measure and identify factors associated with treatment outcomes for patients with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis treated with TMJ Concepts patient fitted total joint prostheses and autogenous fat grafts.  This retrospective cohort study evaluated records of patients with TMJ ankylosis from a single private practice, treated from 1992 to 2011, who met the following inclusion criteria: 1) radiographic evidence of bony ankylosis, 2) limited incisal opening, 3) minimum of 12 months' follow up, and 4) treatment with TMJ Concepts (Ventura, CA)/Techmedica (Camarillo, CA) total joint prostheses and fat grafts. For each patient, the number of previous TMJ surgical procedures, as well as the estimated age of ankylosis onset, age at surgery, and length of postoperative follow up, was recorded. Subjective evaluations were made with Likert like scales (from 0 to 10) for 1) TMJ pain, 2) headache and facial pain, 3) jaw function, 4) diet, and 5) disability. Objective evaluations included maximal incisal opening and excursion movements. Nonparametric statistics were used for analysis.  There were 32 patients (22 female and 10 male patients) with 48 ankylosed TMJs (16 bilateral and 16 unilateral) in this study, with a mean age of 39 years (range, 11 to 68 years) 2 or more previous TMJ surgical procedures in 69% and a mean follow up period of 68 months (range, 12 to 168 months) Trauma was the major etiology of TMJ ankylosis, occurring in 17 of 32 patients (53% The following improvements occurred: The median value for TMJ pain changed from 8.0 preoperatively to 1.5 at longest follow up; headache, from 8 to 3.5; facial pain, from 8 to 4; jaw function, from 8 to 2.5; diet, from 7 to 3; and disability, from 7 to 1.5. The median incisal opening was 14.5 mm (interquartile range, 6.3 to 20 mm) preoperatively and 35 mm (interquartile range, 30 to 40 mm) at longest follow up. The median left lateral excursion improved from 0.5 to 2 mm, and the median right lateral excursion improved from 1 to 1.3 mm. All of these improvements were highly significant (P .001, Wilcoxon tests) Equally favorable outcomes were found in patients with 12 to 48 months of maximal follow up and patients with more than 48 months of maximal follow up.  The treatment of TMJ ankylosis with the TMJ Concepts patient fitted total joint prosthesis in combination with fat grafting around the articulation area of the prosthesis is a viable and predictable method for improving pain levels, function, and quality of life, as well as prevention of reankylosis of the TMJ.
Joint Embeddings of Hierarchical Categories and Entities
Venue: ArXiv

Due to the lack of structured knowledge applied in learning distributed representation of categories, existing work cannot incorporate category hierarchies into entity information.~We propose a framework that embeds entities and categories into a semantic space by integrating structured knowledge and taxonomy hierarchy from large knowledge bases. The framework allows to compute meaningful semantic relatedness between entities and categories.~Compared with the previous state of the art, our framework can handle both single word concepts and multiple word concepts with superior performance in concept categorization and semantic relatedness.
The Oral Microbiome in Health and Disease

This chapter deals with the human oral microbiome which contains bacteria, bacteriophages/viruses, archaea, fungi, and protozoa. Modern molecular techniques used to analyze this microbiome are dealt with such as HOMINGS, oligotyping, high throughput sequencing, whole genome shotgun sequencing, single cell genome sequencing, metatranscriptomics, and community wide transcriptome analysis. The oral microbiota in health is described as well as that in periodontal disease and dental caries. Furthermore, the architecture of biofilms in periodontitis and caries is visualized. Our knowledge on the oral microbiota challenges the current practice of chairside diagnostics.
Mucosal Vaccine Development Based on Liposome Technology
Venue: Journal of immunology research

Immune protection against infectious diseases is most effective if located at the portal of entry of the pathogen. Hence, there is an increasing demand for vaccine formulations that can induce strong protective immunity following oral, respiratory, or genital tract administration. At present, only few mucosal vaccines are found on the market, but recent technological advancements and a better understanding of the principles that govern priming of mucosal immune responses have contributed to a more optimistic view on the future of mucosal vaccines. Compared to live attenuated vaccines, subcomponent vaccines, most often protein based, are considered safer, more stable, and less complicated to manufacture, but they require the addition of nontoxic and clinically safe adjuvants to be effective. In addition, another limiting factor is the large antigen dose that usually is required for mucosal vaccines. Therefore, the combination of mucosal adjuvants with the recent progress in nanoparticle technology provides an attractive solution to these problems. In particular, the liposome technology is ideal for combining protein antigen and adjuvant into an effective mucosal vaccine. Here, we describe and discuss recent progress in nanoparticle formulations using various types of liposomes that convey strong promise for the successful development of the next generation of mucosal vaccines.
Innate Immunity and Saliva in Candida albicans mediated Oral Diseases
Venue: Journal of dental research

The oral cavity is a unique niche where Candida albicans infections occur in immunocompetent as well as immunosuppressed individuals. Here we critically review the significance of human innate immune response in preventing oral candidiasis. One important line of defense against oropharyngeal candidiasis is the oral microbiota that prevents infection by competing for space and nutrients as well as by secreting antagonistic molecules and triggering local inflammatory responses. C. albicans is able to induce mucosal defenses through activation of immune cells and production of cytokines. Also, saliva contains various proteins that affect C. albicans growth positively by promoting mucosal adherence and negatively through immune exclusion and direct fungicidal activity. We further discuss the role of saliva in unifying host innate immune defenses against C. albicans as a communicating medium and how C. albicans overgrowth in the oral cavity may be a result of aberrations ranging from microbial dysbiosis and salivary dysfunction to epithelial damage. Last we underscore select oral diseases in which C. albicans is a contributory microorganism in immune competent individuals.
Salivary changes in oral mucosal diseases.
Venue: Periodontology 2000

Saliva is a unique biological fluid that can be easily collected and analyzed with low cost and low morbidity. Therefore, there is a growing attention for using salivary biomarkers in the diagnosis and monitoring of disease progress and response to treatment. Salivary changes have been described in relation to oral mucosal diseases. This article discusses the causes and consequences of salivary hypofunction and presents a review of the literature related to changes in salivary parameters in various oral mucosal diseases and in systemic diseases with possible oral mucosal involvement.
Global burden of oral diseases: emerging concepts, management and interplay with systemic health.
Venue: Oral diseases

This study presents the global burden of major oral diseases with an exegetical commentary on their current profiles, the critical issues in oral healthcare and future perspectives.  A narrative overview of current literature was undertaken to synthesise the contexts with critical elaboration and commentary.  Oral disease is one of the most common public health issues worldwide with significant socio economic impacts, and yet it is frequently neglected in public health policy. The oral data extracted from the Global Burden of Disease Study in 2010 (Murray et al, 2012) show that caries, periodontal disease, edentulism, oral cancer and cleft lip/palate collectively accounted for 18 814 000 disability adjusted life years; and the global burden of periodontal disease, oral cancer and caries increased markedly by an average of 45.6% from 1990 to 2010 in parallel with the major non communicable diseases like diabetes by 69.0% Oral diseases and non communicable diseases are closely interlinked through sharing common risk factors (e.g. excess sugar consumption and tobacco use) and underlying infection/inflammatory pathways.  Oral disease remains a major public health burden worldwide. It is of great importance to integrate oral health into global health agenda via the common risk factor approach. The long term sustainable strategy for global oral health should focus on health promotion and disease prevention through effective multidisciplinary teamwork.
Effects of Temperature on the Compressive Strength Parallel to the Grain of Bamboo Scrimbe
Venue: Materials

The objective of this study was to investigate the compressive strength parallel to the grain of bamboo scrimber during and after exposure to various temperatures, in a range from 20 to 225 degC. These data were used to provide a basis for the evaluation of the fire performance of bamboo structures. A total of 152 specimens, assembled as group "during fire" and "post fire" were tested during and after exposure to high temperatures. The experimental results indicated that there were significant differences in compressive properties between the "during fire" and "post fire" groups. At one temperature level, the compressive strength and modulus of elasticity of the "post fire" group were significantly higher than those properties of the "during fire" group, but the ductility coefficient was reversed. FTIR analysis results showed that 175 degC was a key turning point, at which thermal decomposition occurred in the cellulose of the bamboo and phenolic resin.
Direct data driven control of constrained linear parameter varying systems: A hierarchical approach

In many nonlinear control problems, the plant can be accurately described by a linear model whose operating point depends on some measurable variables, called scheduling signals. When such a linear parameter varying (LPV) model of the open loop plant needs to be derived from a set of data, several issues arise in terms of parameterization, estimation, and validation of the model before designing the controller. Moreover, the way modeling errors affect the closed loop performance is still largely unknown in the LPV context. In this paper, a direct data driven control method is proposed to design LPV controllers directly from data without deriving a model of the plant. The main idea of the approach is to use a hierarchical control architecture, where the inner controller is designed to match a simple and a priori specified closed loop behavior. Then, an outer model predictive controller is synthesized to handle input/output constraints and to enhance the performance of the inner loop. The effectiveness of the approach is illustrated by means of a simulation and an experimental example. Practical implementation issues are also discussed.
Route Planning in Transportation Networks
Venue: Algorithm Engineering

We survey recent advances in algorithms for route planning in transportation networks. For road networks, we show that one can compute driving directions in milliseconds or less even at continental scale. A variety of techniques provide different trade offs between preprocessing effort, space requirements, and query time. Some algorithms can answer queries in a fraction of a microsecond, while others can deal efficiently with real time traffic. Journey planning on public transportation systems, although conceptually similar, is a significantly harder problem due to its inherent time dependent and multicriteria nature. Although exact algorithms are fast enough for interactive queries on metropolitan transit systems, dealing with continent sized instances requires simplifications or heavy preprocessing. The multimodal route planning problem, which seeks journeys combining schedule based transportation (buses, trains) with unrestricted modes (walking, driving) is even harder, relying on approximate solutions even for metropolitan inputs.
Confined Submerged Jet Impingement Boiling of Subcooled FC 72 over Micro Pin Finned Surfaces

Heat transfer characteristics of confined submerged jet impingement boiling of air dissolved FC 72 on heated micro pin finned surfaces are presented. The dimension of the silicon chips is 10 x 10 x 0.5 mm3 (length x width x thickness) on micro pin fins with the four dimensions of 30 x 30 x 60 mm3, 50 x 50 x 60 mm3, 30 x 30 x 120 mm3, and 50 x 50 x 120 mm3 fabricated by using the dry etching technique. For comparison, experiments of jet impinging on a smooth surface were also conducted. The results have shown that submerged jet impingement boiling gives a large heat transfer enhancement compared with pool boiling, and all micro pin fins showed better heat transfer performance than a smooth surface. The effects of jet Reynolds number, jet inlet subcooling, micro pin fins, and nozzle to surface distance on jet impingement boiling heat transfer were explored. For micro pin fins, the maximum allowable heat flux increases with jet Reynolds number and subcooling. The largest value of the maximum allowable heat flux of micro pin fins by submerged jet impingement boiling is 157 W/cm2, which is about 8.3 times as large as that for the smooth surface in pool boiling. Also, Nusselt number has a strong dependence on Reynolds number.
Gaze guided object classification using deep neural networks for attention based computing
Venue: UbiComp Adjunct

Recent advances in eye tracking technologies opened the way to design novel attention based user interfaces. This is promising for pro active and assistive technologies for cyber physical systems in the domains of, e.g. healthcare and industry 4.0. Prior approaches to recognize a user's attention are usually limited to the raw gaze signal or sensors in instrumented environments. We propose a system that (1) incorporates the gaze signal and the egocentric camera of the eye tracker to identify the objects the user focuses at; (2) employs object classification based on deep learning which we recompiled for our purposes on a GPU based image classification server; (3) detects whether the user actually draws attention to that object; and (4) combines these modules for constructing episodic memories of egocentric events in real time.
Deep Convolutional Neural Network Design Patterns
Venue: ArXiv

Recent research in the deep learning field has produced a plethora of new architectures. At the same time, a growing number of groups are applying deep learning to new applications. Some of these groups are likely to be composed of inexperienced deep learning practitioners who are baffled by the dizzying array of architecture choices and therefore opt to use an older architecture (i.e. Alexnet) Here we attempt to bridge this gap by mining the collective knowledge contained in recent deep learning research to discover underlying principles for designing neural network architectures. In addition, we describe several architectural innovations, including Fractal of FractalNet network, Stagewise Boosting Networks, and Taylor Series Networks (our Caffe code and prototxt files are available at https:/github.com/iPhysicist/CNNDesignPatterns) We hope others are inspired to build on our preliminary work.
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS' ATTITUDES TOWARDS ICT AND MEDIA TOOLS IN LEARNING ENGLISH AND THEIR EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the attitudes of university students towards using Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and media tools in learning English and their emotional intelligence. It also investigated whether the attitudes of university students towards using ICT and media tools in learning English and their emotional intelligence varied according to their gender and departments. The Turkish adaption of the revised Schutte emotional scale and The Attitude Scale for the Use of Media and ICT in Learning English were used as instruments to collect data in the study, which involved 143 female and 84 male, in total 227, university students. The independent t test, one way analysis of variance and Pearson product moment correlation technique were used to analyze the data obtained related with the variables gender, departments and emotional intelligence respectively. A positive relationship between the attitudes of participants and emotional intelligence was found. The other finding was that the attitudes of university students towards ICT and media use in learning English varied significantly according to their gender and departments. It was recommended that more comprehensives studies be conducted with different and various working groups to develop new language programs from broader perspectives.

Gendered Bhavas: Perpetuating Notions of "Ideal" Male and Female Behaviour Through Specific Emotions Highlighted in Acting in Mayabazar

The concepts of 'Bhava' in acting and 'Rasa' in drama, as discussed in the Natyasastra, have served as valuable parameters for reviewing the merits of a play, directors' intentions, and actors' achievements for over two millennia in India. Their influence on meaning making in Indian cinema is equally significant, given theatre's continuing influence on its narrative and performance aesthetics, most evident in films of the mythological genre. Of all Indian cinemas, the 'mythological film' survived for the longest time in Telugu cinema, until the 1970s, with K.V. Reddy's Mayabazar (1957) being its most influential landmark. The highlight of the film, a magical love story from the Mahabharata, is its heroine's dual personality premise. A plot twist has her character get impersonated by an illusionist demon, who 'as a man trapped in a woman's body' is a reveal of how 'ideal' notions of masculine and feminine bhavas in acting are perpetuated by an Indian actor's portrayal of different reactions to similar situations based on the character's gender. This article will establish how in her choice from the nine prescribed Sthayibhavas (primary human emotions) that the actress Savitri selects and rejects to distinguish, personify and limit her 'woman as woman' part from a 'man as woman' character that Mayabazar makes a test case for studying the selection, categorization and prioritization of major human emotions on the basis of gender in a performance.
On the Influence of Gender on Interruptions in Multiparty Dialogue
Venue: INTERSPEECH

During conversations, participants do not always alternate turns smoothly. One cause of disturbance particularly prominent in multiparty dialogue is the presence of interruptions: interventions that prevent current speakers from finishing their turns. Previous work, mostly within the field of sociolinguistics, has suggested that the gender of the dialogue participants plays an important role in their interruptive behaviour. We investigate existing hypotheses in this respect by systematically analysing interruptions in a corpus of spoken multiparty meetings that include a minimum of two male and two female participants. We find a number of significant differences, including the fact that women are more often interrupted overall and that men interrupt more often women than other men, in particular using speech overlap to grab the floor. We do not find evidence for the hypothesis that women interrupt other women more frequently than they interrupt men.
Liability for Mobile Health and Wearable Technologies

Most of the legal commentary regarding mobile health has focused on direct regulation leveraging existing laws and regulators such as HIPAA privacy through HHS OCR or device regulation by the FDA. However, much of the mobile health revolution likely will play out in lightly regulated spaces bereft of most of the privacy, security, and safety rules associated with traditional health care. This article examines the potential for common law liability models to bridge these gaps (even on a temporary basis) Part II of this paper provides an introduction to the terminology used, and presents a brief typology of the apps appearing in the health care space. Part III discusses the potential liability of physicians and other health care professionals. Part IV discusses the potential liability of institutional health care providers such as hospitals (that, in many cases is dependent upon the finding of fault in an individual professional) Part V discusses the applicability of product liability to mobile health developers and vendors. Part VI explains some of the issues that may arise when patients or consumers seek damages following privacy or security breaches. The survey concludes by noting that regulation by litigation may be a significant force in the app and wearable space during a period of light regulation by traditional regulators. This is a conclusion that is unlikely to cheer either health care providers or app developers; given that the indeterminacy associated with common law litigation is only exacerbated when applied to novel or emerging technologies.
