Background: Dentin hypersensitivity affects a significant portion of the world's population, causing pain and negatively impacting oral health and quality of life This clinical study investigated the effectiveness of a desensitizing fluoride silicon-rich dental gel associated with a calcium booster.
Material And Methods: In this single-blind, randomized, parallel-group clinical trial, forty-eight volunteers diagnosed with dentin hypersensitivity and qualified to participate were randomized into 2 groups: (1) fluoride silicon-rich dental gel (REFX Technology)/calcium booster (Si/Ca protocol); (2) Pumice stone diluted in saline. A draw was carried out between the right and left sides of the patients so that either a prophylaxis with the dental gel associated with calcium or with fine pumice stone diluted in saline was carried out.
Wide area surveillance has become of critical importance, particularly for border control between countries where vast forested land border areas are to be monitored. In this paper, we address the problem of the automatic detection of activity in forbidden areas, namely forested land border areas. In order to avoid false detections, often triggered in dense vegetation with single sensors such as radar, we present a multi sensor fusion and tracking system using passive infrared detectors in combination with automatic person detection from thermal and visual video camera images.

- * The study found that relying solely on breathing rate to distinguish between rest and exercise is ineffective; better results came from analyzing Fourier coefficients or combining breathing rate with other metrics like signal amplitude.
- * Overall, incorporating multiple breathing features significantly enhances the ability to predict changes in breathing, suggesting a more complex approach could improve exacerbation prediction methods.
