Panoramic View Research Articles

Repensando os nacionalismos populares em termos de gênero. Uma abordagem baseada em dois impressos da ocasião

This article presents a panoramic view of the problematizations around the national, making room for the popular experience as part of the identity construction of the Chilean. To carry out this interpretive exercise, we turn to the only two popular songbooks preserved by Juan Bautista Peralta, published under the pseudonym Juana María Inostroza. Within this interpretative approach, gender emerges as a tool that helps to differentiate popular experiences and enrich the diversity of the “we” built in Chile at the beginning of the 20th century.

Incidence of Carotid Atheroma in Patients Received Radiotherapy in Neck Field-A Case Series Study

Introduction: Atheroma is a condition that affects various blood vessels, primarily forming at junctions of moderate to large vessels, such as the carotid artery, where it is known as carotid atheroma (CA). Atheroma can lead to myocardial infarction or stroke. Previous studies have shown that head and neck radiotherapy can induce CA, even in young patients. Early diagnosis of atheroma in panoramic views can help prevent ischemic attacks in the brain and potentially save lives. Case Presentation: Thirty-six patients were referred to Semnan Dental School for dental screening by a hematologist-oncologist. An oral medicine specialist ordered panoramic radiographs for each patient, and radiopaque lesions were detected in the para-spinal region in four patients. These lesions were diagnosed as Carotid Atheroma by an Oral and Maxillofacial Radiologist, and this case series was reported. Conclusions: Radiotherapy is a component of treatment for head and neck malignancies and can cause atherosclerosis in carotid junctions. Dentists should monitor panoramic views of patients receiving radiotherapy for any signs of suspicious lesions. If carotid atheroma is detected, the patient should be referred to a cardiovascular specialist for further evaluation and treatment.

EROSITA narrowband maps at the energies of soft X-ray emission lines

Hot plasma plays a crucial role in regulating the baryon cycle within the Milky Way, flowing from the energetic sources in the Galactic center and plane, to the corona and the halo. This hot plasma represents an important fraction of the Galactic baryons, plays a key role in galactic outflows and is an important ingredient in galaxy evolution models. Taking advantage of the Spectrum-Roentgen-Gamma (SRG first all-sky survey (eRASS1), in this work our aim is to provide a panoramic view of the hot circumgalactic medium (CGM) of the Milky Way. Compared to the previous all-sky X-ray survey performed by ROSAT, the improved energy resolution of enabled us to map, for the first time, the sky within the narrow energy bands characteristic of soft X-ray emission lines. These lines provide essential information on the physical properties of the hot plasma. Here we present the eRASS1\ half sky maps in narrow energy bands corresponding to the most prominent soft X-ray lines and which allowed us to constrain the distribution of the hot plasma within and surrounding the Milky Way. We corrected the maps by removing the expected contribution associated with the cosmic X-ray background, the time-variable solar wind charge exchange, and the local hot bubble. We applied corrections to mitigate the effect of absorption, therefore highlighting the emission from the CGM of the Milky Way. We used the line ratio of the oxygen lines as a proxy to constrain the temperature of the warm-hot CGM, and we defined a pseudo-temperature $ T $ map. The map highlights how different regions are dominated by different thermal components. Toward the outer halo, the temperature distribution of the CGM on angular scales of 2--20 deg is consistent with being constant $ T T 4<!PCT!>$ with a marginal detection of $ T T = 2.7 <!PCT!> 0.2<!PCT!>$ (statistical) $ 0.6<!PCT!>$ (systematic) in the southern hemisphere. Instead significant variations of $ 12<!PCT!>$ are observed on scales of many tens of degrees when comparing the northern and southern hemispheres. The pseudo-temperature map shows significant variations across the borders of the bubbles, suggesting temperature variations, possibly linked to shocks, between the interior of the Galactic outflow and the unperturbed CGM. In particular, a shell characterized by a lower line ratio appears close to the edge of the bubbles.

The missed crossing vessel during open pyeloplasty: a potential advantage of the robot-assisted approach in children

ObjectiveTo investigate whether the panoramic view offered by robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP) reduces the likelihood of missing a crossing vessel compared to open pyeloplasty in cases where initial pyeloplasty fails.MethodsA single institution redo-pyeloplasty database was reviewed for children treated between January 2012 to July 2023. Clinical history, imaging and operative details were reviewed to identify the etiology for the redo procedure.ResultsCohort consisted of 45 patients undergoing a redo RALP during the study period. 29 of 45 patients had an initial open surgical approach, whereas 16 had an initial RALP. 10 patients were noted to have a missed crossing vessel on redo pyeloplasty – 9 had an initial open approach whereas 1 had an initial RALP (p<0.0001).ConclusionsRALP may reduce the risk of missing a crossing vessel due to the panoramic view of the surgical field intrinsic to an intraperitoneal RALP approach.

Far-Red Aggregation-Induced Emission Hydrogel-Reinforced Tissue Clearing for 3D Vasculature Imaging of Whole Lung and Whole Tumor.

Understanding the vascular formation and distribution in metastatic lung tumors is a significant challenge due to autofluorescence, antibody/dye diffusion in dense tumor, and fluorophore stability when exposed to solvent-based clearing agents. Here, an approach is presented that redefines 3D vasculature imaging within metastatic tumor, peritumoral lung tissue, and normal lung. Specifically, a far-red aggregation-induced emission nanoparticle with surface amino groups (termed as TSCN nanoparticle, TSCNNP) is designed for in situ formation of hydrogel (TSCNNP@Gel) inside vasculatures to provide structural support and enhance the fluorescence in solvent-based tissue clearing method. Using this TSCNNP@Gel-reinforced tissue clearing imaging approach, the critical challenges are successfully overcome and comprehensive visualization of the whole pulmonary vasculature up to 2µm resolution is enabled, including its detailed examination in metastatic tumors. Importantly, features of tumor-associated vasculature in 3D panoramic views are unveiled, providing the potential to determine tumor stages, predict tumor progression, and facilitate the histopathological diagnosis of various tumor types.

Evaluation of Visibility of Mandibular Incisive Canal by Using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography: An Observational Study.

Performing surgery on the anterior mandible could harm the mandibular incisive canal (MIC). To prevent it, preoperative radiographic assessment is essential. Aim of our study was to examine the visibility and presence of the MIC along with measurement of the length of MIC by utilizing cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Images from 50 subjects, ranging in age from 20 to 60 years, who had their mandibles examined by CBCT were taken from the archive. Reconstructed images included cross-sectional and panoramic views. The canal's visibility was obtained from the mesial to the mental foramen and finally to the incisal extension. The shortest distance between the mesial and distal portions of the canal was determined to be the length of the MIC. To analyze independent samples, t-tests were employed. In 40 cases (80%), the visibility of MIC was seen as bilateral, and in 10 cases (20%), as unilateral. The visible length among the population ranged from a minimum of 0.00 to a maximum of 25.25 mm, with an average of 15.37 ± 5.59. Future research could utilize the differences in prevalence with respect to gender and visibility as a point of reference.

Literature Review of Wavelet-Based Image Filtering Methods

Abstract: Noise is a random signal that corrupts the quality of an image. For many decades, eliminating it or reducing its intensity in the image has been a major concern for many scientists. To this end, several studies on image processing (with the aim of eliminating or reducing the intensity of noise) have been carried out. Although a multitude of filtering methods emerged from these studies, numerous works have shown the effectiveness of the wavelet transform in image filtering. Thus, several wavelet-based methods (for image filtering purposes) have been illustrated in the literature. Some methods involve performing wavelet decomposition followed by thresholding and other methods involve combining wavelet decomposition with various filtering methods. This combination can have two or more methods. After filtering, the effectiveness of the filter can be evaluated. It is measured in terms of qualitative and/or quantitative parameters. Indeed, a filtering method is said to be efficient when the PSNR parameter (parameter most used in the literature) obtained has a minimum value of 30dB. This article presents a literature review of wavelet-based image filtering methods. Emphasis is placed on works presenting a better PSNR value (wavelet type, combination carried out, mother wavelet, decomposition number). In the end, this article gives a panoramic view of the choices of tools to use by a reader who would like to get involved in image filtering

Modern approaches to the use of Berberis Thunbergii cultivars for sustainable landscape design

Purpose. For the purposes of sustainable landscape design of the urban space, to substantiate new modern nature-oriented solutions for the use of dwarf cultivars of the Berberis Thunberg species. Methods. Visual assessment, computer modeling and visualization. Results. One of the aspects of realizing the goals of sustainable development, namely Sustainable development of cities and communities, is the rationalization of living space in cities. An integral part of this process is the aesthetic arrangement of territories, which ensures sustainable landscape design. The design of flower arrangements, flower beds can and should change, be updated, absorb new things. One of the ways of realizing such a context when creating permanent flower beds is the use of metal frame structures, which solve the task of creating a contrast with the colors of decorative plant compositions. The choice of the color of the metal frame should be subject to the thematic and landscape context. In order to give graphicness to decorative plant compositions from cultivars of Berberis thunbergii species, the expediency of horizontal contouring of the plant ornament with metal structures with a width of contour lines of 3–5% of the linear dimensions of the structure is shown. Modeling of structures was carried out using the program Realtime Landscaping Architect 2023.02, Trial Free Version. The use of the color solution, shape, texture of the modeled structures, the use of contour lighting of the decorative-but-foliage installation is substantiated. Cultivars of Berberis Thunberg are given, which are appropriate for use, the life span of which can reach 50 years under the conditions of performing the necessary minimum care. Conclusions. The creation of permanent, aesthetically expressive flower beds and flower beds involves not only the use of environmentally friendly materials, but also the choice of local or adaptive decorative cultivars that provide all-season decorativeness, the absence of the need for annual renewal of plant material, artificial watering, and the creation of a habitat for pollinators and birds The use of cultivars of the Berberis Thunberg species contributes to the creation of stable flower beds that are able to preserve their decorative characteristics for a long time. The most harmoniously proposed compositions will be revealed in the presence of dynamic visual points, a deep perspective and a panoramic view.

Quantitative Assessment of Condylar Remodeling After Open Reduction and Internal Fixation in Mandibular Condylar Head Fractures.

Open reduction and internal fixation (OR/IF) and closed treatments are viable options, with OR/IF gaining popularity in mandibular condylar head fracture (CHF). Sufficient research is lacking on long-term condylar morphologic changes. This study quantitatively evaluated the morphologic changes in the condylar head in patients who underwent OR/IF for CHF without the removal of osteosynthesis material. A retrospective study analyzed patients who underwent OR/IF for CHF between November 2010 and August 2022. The transverse/lateral condyle width and condyle height were radiologically analyzed using panoramic and reverse Towne view x-ray images at immediate (T0), short-term (T1), and long-term (T2) postoperative periods. The study involved 29 patients with 32 surgically treated CHF. Long-term condyle height decreased significantly from 18.9±0.8mm at T0 to 18.1±0.8mm at T1 (P=0.042), and further to 17.3±0.7mm at T2 (P=0.034). Transverse width slightly reduced from 18.7±0.7mm at T0 to 17.9±0.8mm at T1 (P=0.001) but remained stable from T1 to T2 (17.6±1.0mm, P=0.756). Following surgery, maximal mouth opening averaged 39.5±6.1mm, with one case of chin deviation and three cases of joint pain. The condyle undergoes long-term shortening without altering its width. Nevertheless, patients experience favorable functional outcomes, including satisfactory mouth opening and occlusion. In addition, it is advisable not to remove the osteosynthesis material, as the remaining material causes minimal functional impairment and bone resorption.

RDLR: A Robust Deep Learning-Based Image Registration Method for Pediatric Retinal Images.

Retinal diseases stand as a primary cause of childhood blindness. Analyzing the progression of these diseases requires close attention to lesion morphology and spatial information. Standard image registration methods fail to accurately reconstruct pediatric fundus images containing significant distortion and blurring. To address this challenge, we proposed a robust deep learning-based image registration method (RDLR). The method consisted of two modules: registration module (RM) and panoramic view module (PVM). RM effectively integrated global and local feature information and learned prior information related to the orientation of images. PVM was capable of reconstructing spatial information in panoramic images. Furthermore, as the registration model was trained on over 280,000 pediatric fundus images, we introduced a registration annotation automatic generation process coupled with a quality control module to ensure the reliability of training data. We compared the performance of RDLR to the other methods, including conventional registration pipeline (CRP), voxel morph (WM), generalizable image matcher (GIM), and self-supervised techniques (SS). RDLR achieved significantly higher registration accuracy (average Dice score of 0.948) than the other methods (ranging from 0.491 to 0.802). The resulting panoramic retinal maps reconstructed by RDLR also demonstrated substantially higher fidelity (average Dice score of 0.960) compared to the other methods (ranging from 0.720 to 0.783). Overall, the proposed method addressed key challenges in pediatric retinal imaging, providing an effective solution to enhance disease diagnosis.

Evaluation of Aging Effect on the Durability of Antibacterial Treatments Applied on Textile Materials for the Automotive Industry.

The automotive industry is always seeking novel solutions to improve the durability and the performance of textile materials used in vehicles. Indeed, especially after the coronavirus pandemic, antibacterial treatments have gained interest for their potential of ensuring cleanliness and safety toward microbial contamination within vehicles. This study gives a panoramic view of the durability of antibacterial treatments applied on textile materials in the automotive industry, focusing on their performance after experiencing accelerated aging processes. Two different textile materials, a fabric and a synthetic leather, both treated with antibacterial agents, were tested according to ISO 22196 and ISO 20743 standards, respectively, using two model microorganisms, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The impact of mechanical, thermal, and solar aging on the antibacterial properties has been evaluated. In addition, scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis was performed to investigate the surface morphology of the materials before and after aging. Furthermore, contact angle measurements were conducted. The results suggest that neither mechanical nor thermal aging processes determined diminished antibacterial action. It was determined, instead, that the most damaging stressor for both textile materials was UV aging, causing severe surface alterations and a reduction in antibacterial activity.
