Outcomes of dermal regeneration template and split-thickness skin grafts in lower extremity wound closure: an 8-year retrospective analysis.

Background: Split-thickness skin grafts (STSG) over tendon or bone often fail. In such cases, an attempt to create a neo-dermis or restore a dermal-like covering is indicated. This study compared the outcomes of dermal regeneration template (DRT) use in lower extremity (LE) wound closure when combined with STSG procedures.

[The role of the structure of the lamina cribrosa in the diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma. Structural and circulatory changes in the lamina cribrosa with aging and elevated intraocular pressure].

The earliest damage in glaucoma starts in the posterior pole of the eye, where the axons of retinal ganglion cells, that form the optic nerve fibers, and retinal vessels pass through the connective tissue network called the lamina cribrosa (LC). Modern diagnostic techniques, such as optical coherence tomography (OCT), enable the visualization of the LC and the assessment of blood flow within it, providing new opportunities for the diagnosis of glaucoma. This review highlights the anatomy and vascularization of the LC, along with the latest research findings obtained via OCT.

Temporally-Consistent Surface Reconstruction using Metrically-Consistent Atlases.

We propose a method for unsupervised reconstruction of a temporally-consistent sequence of surfaces from a sequence of time-evolving point clouds. It yields dense and semantically meaningful correspondences between frames. We represent the reconstructed surfaces as atlases computed by a neural network, which enables us to establish correspondences between frames.

Search for New Resonances Decaying to Pairs of Merged Diphotons in Proton-Proton Collisions at sqrt[s]=13 TeV.

A search is presented for an extended Higgs sector with two new particles, X and ϕ, in the process X→ϕϕ→(γγ)(γγ). Novel neural networks classify events with diphotons that are merged and determine the diphoton masses. The search uses LHC proton-proton collision data at sqrt[s]=13  TeV collected with the CMS detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138  fb^{-1}.
