Peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) is a relatively frequent benign reactive lesion of the gingiva, originating from the periosteum or periodontal membrane following local irritation or chronic trauma.PGCG manifests as a red-purple nodule located in the region of the gingiva or edentulous alveolar margins.The lesion can develop at any age, altho
Optimal Dispatch of Reactive Power Using Modified Stochastic Fractal Search Algorithm
This paper applies a proposed modified stochastic fractal search algorithm (MSFS) for dealing with all constraints of optimal reactive power dispatch (ORPD) and finding optimal solutions for three different cases including power loss optimization, voltage deviation optimization, and L-index optimization.The proposed MSFS method is newly constructed
VARICELLA ZOSTER VIRUS ASSOCIATED ASEPTIC MENINGITIS IN AN IMMUNOCOMPETENT PATIENT
Background: Varicella zoster virus (VZV) is a widespread herpes virus that causes chickenpox after primary infection.Later the virus remains persistent in the sensory nerve ganglia, and it can be reactivated with the manifestation of herpes Manicure Sticks zoster most often.But reactivation of VZV can manifest as infection of the CNS (central nervo
A Comparative Analysis for 2D Object Recognition: A Case Study with Tactode Puzzle-Like Tiles
Object recognition represents the ability of a system to identify objects, humans or animals in images.Within this domain, this work presents a comparative analysis among different classification methods aiming at Tactode tile recognition.The covered methods include: (i) machine learning with HOG and SVM; (ii) deep learning with CNNs such as VGG16,
Modified mixed nanomicelles with collagen peptides enhanced oral absorption of Cucurbitacin B: preparation and evaluation
Polymer nanoparticles modified with collagen peptides (CPs) are an attractive strategy for the oral delivery of active ingredients from Chinese medicine.Thus, in the present study, collagen cationic CPs were simply separated using ion-exchange resin from bovine CPs, to modify mixed nanomicelles (MMs) on the surface to improve the oral bioavailabili
