Bach et al. [1] recently presented an algorithm for constructing confluent drawings, by leveraging power graph decomposition to generate an auxiliary routing graph. We identify two issues with their method which we call the node split and short-circuit problems, and solve both by modifying the routing graph to retain the hierarchical structure of power groups. We also classify the exact type of confluent drawings that the algorithm can produce as 'power-confluent', and prove that it is a subclass of the previously studied 'strict confluent' drawing. A description and source code of our implementation is also provided, which additionally includes an improved method for power graph construction.

Introduction Oral lichen planus (OLP) comprises a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease observed in the oral cavity. It most commonly manifests as white papules arranged confluently, drawing a picture of white lines in the form of a network (reticular form). It may emerge in other forms as well.

Force networks, torque balance and Airy stress in the planar vertex model of a confluent epithelium.

The vertex model is a popular framework for modelling tightly packed biological cells, such as confluent epithelia. Cells are described by convex polygons tiling the plane and their equilibrium is found by minimizing a global mechanical energy, with vertex locations treated as degrees of freedom. Drawing on analogies with granular materials, we describe the force network for a localized monolayer and derive the corresponding discrete Airy stress function, expressed for each -sided cell as scalars defined over kites covering the cell.

Sustained Regression of Hydroxycarbamide Induced Actinic Keratoses after Switching to Anagrelide.

Hydroxycarbamide (HC) is the first-line treatment for certain myeloproliferative neoplasms, such as polycythemia vera and essential thrombocytosis (ET). In a subset of these patients long-term treatment with HC can result in the development of confluent actinic keratoses (AK) followed by invasive keratinocytic carcinomas ("squamous dysplasia"), preferentially on sun-exposed skin. Discontinuation or dose reduction of HC may result in partial improvement.
