introduction: advanced lip carcinomas can invade adjacent structures. performing surgery for these cancers will lead to defects in this anatomically and functionally important area and will cause post-op difficulties such as drooling, speech alterations and aesthetic considerations, if not properly managed. case report: in this study, we will introduce a radial forearm free flap with palmaris l...

OBJECTIVE A quantitative comparison of immediate and long-term results of surgical correction of the senile upper lip using lip advancement and lip lift. METHODS Retrospective review of 30 patients who underwent senile upper lip repair, including lip advancement or lip lift. Digital image analysis was used to standardize each patient's preoperative and postoperative photographs for accurate, ...

Spatial downsampling layers are favored in convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to downscale feature maps for larger receptive fields and less memory consumption. However, visual recognition tasks, these might lose discriminative details due improper pooling strategies. In this paper, we present a unified framework (LAN) over the common (e.g., average pooling, max strided convolution) from view...

This paper addresses the problem of lip segmentation in color space, which is a crucial issue to the success of a lip-reading system. We present a new segmentation approach to lip contour extraction by taking account of the color difference between lip and skin in color space. Firstly, we obtain a lip segment sample via a color transformation sequence in 1976 CIELAB and LUX color spaces. Second...

The essential steps for successful endodontic treatment consist of elimination of all diseased pulp and dentin tissues, adequate chemomechanical preparation and filling of the root canal system hermetically.[1] Moreover, it is crucial that root canal obturation has to be limited within root canal system. Minor apical foramen or minor apical constriction is known to be situated 0.5–1.5 mm corona...

For many years, speech has been the most natural and efficient means of information exchange for human beings. With the advancement of technology and the prevalence of computer usage, the design and production of speech recognition systems have been considered by researchers. Among this, lip-reading techniques encountered with many challenges for speech recognition, that one of the challenges b...
