Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is the most common disease affecting oral mucosae. Etiology unknown, but several factors have been implicated, all of which influence composition microbiota residing on mucosae, in turn modulates immunity and thereby affects progression. Although no individual pathogens conclusively shown to be causative agents RAS, imbalanced may play a key role. In this study, we sought determine profiles bacterial mucosa associated with RAS. Using high-throughput 16S...
Abstract Purpose Emerging holographic headsets can be used to register patient-specific virtual models obtained from medical scans with the patient’s body. Maximising accuracy of models’ inclination angle and position (ideally, ≤ 2° 2 mm, respectively, as in currently approved navigation systems) is vital for this application useful. This study investigated which a headset registers real-world features based on size image markers. Methods HoloLens ® image-pattern-recognition tool Vuforia...
Abstract Novel augmented reality headsets such as HoloLens can be used to overlay patient-specific virtual models of resection margins on the patient’s skin, providing surgeons with information not normally available in operating room. For this useful, wearing headset must able localise accurately. We measured error which users at different positions and distances from their eyes. Healthy volunteers aged 20–59 years ( n = 54) performed 81 exercises involving localisation a hexagon’s vertices...
Abstract Systemic diseases can manifest in many ways and subtle clues to these processes often declare themselves the maxillofacial region. This report highlights one usual rare presentation of such case. A 64‐year‐old woman, presented her general practitioner with worsening right‐sided jaw pain trismus. She was referred local services mouth opening measured at 1cm presentation. An orthopantomogram (OPG) taken unremarkable. underwent an MRI head neck that showed a soft tissue mass invading...
Abstract Introduction Microsoft HoloLens® is an augmented-reality headset which increasingly used for surgical guidance. This allows the overlay of patient-specific virtual models obtained from medical images onto patient’s body surface using automatic marker-based alignment. can guide surgeons during certain tasks, e.g. determining biopsy needle entry points. study aims to measure human error in localisation with and discuss its implications. Method 59 adults were recruited between ages...
