Article Synopsis
  • Otoliths play a crucial role in marine biology, aiding in studies related to fish metabolism, age, growth, and stock identification for sustainable management.
  • The research utilizes micro-computed tomography to analyze otolith density variations but notes a lack of methodologies for comparative studies, leading to the application of the Ball Mapper technique in this analysis.
  • This study emphasizes reducing computational costs through probabilistic sampling, validating sample representativeness, and uncovering significant correlations between age and network properties, showcasing the effectiveness of the Ball Mapper in processing tomographic images.

We report a case of PLGA that arose in the base of the tongue and subsequently metastasized to the neck. The tumor was resected through the oral cavity with wide margins and dissection.
