Intramuscular (infiltrating) Lipoma

Intraoral lipomas are benign and relatively rare tumors, although they occur with higher frequencies in other areas, most especially the back, abdomen and shoulders of adults. They have no gender predilection and predominantly affect the buccal mucosa. This paper describes a case of intramuscular (infiltrating) lipoma on the buccal mucosa of a 60-year old male which is relatively rare when compared to simple lipoma of buccal mucosa, and review pertinent literature

Performance Evaluation in Energy consumption of Mobile Ad-Hoc Network to increase the Network Lifetime

MANET is self configuring network. It has many design issues like scalability, energy consumption etc.In this paper, an overview of the Distributed mutual exclusion algorithm & various enhanced variations done on distributed mutual exclusion. In DME Permission-based algorithm is used for discovering clusters of the nodes. The initial point selection effects on the results of the algorithm, in the number of clusters found and their cluster headers. Methods to enhance the Permission-based clustering algorithm are discussed. With the help of these methods increase the concurrency between the nodes, decrease the synchronization delay and decrease response time. Some enhanced variations improve the efficiency and accuracy of algorithm. Basically in all the methods the main aim is to increase the life of each node in the network or increase the battery power which will decrease the computational time. Various enhancements done on DME are collected, so by using these enhancements one can build a new hybrid algorithm which will be more efficient, accurate and less time consuming than the previous work

Change and Continuity in the Role of State Attorneys General in the Obama and Trump Administrations

During the Trump Administration, state attorneys general (AGs) have become entrenched as integral policymaking actors in the United States. Their expanding policymaking role fits broader patterns of polarized politics, as partisan coalitions of AGs are increasingly willing to sue the federal government, a trend that gathered steam in the Obama Administration and has reached a crescendo in Trump’s first year. However, state AGs do cooperate, particularly in corporate litigation to address allegedly widespread, illegal behavior. Utilizing a comprehensive dataset of multi-state lawsuits and Supreme Court amicus briefs, we identify continuity and change in how AGs have employed their powers, by examining their activities during the first year of the Trump presidency and placing these activities in the context of previous administrations. This analysis is accompanied by a pair of case studies, one on conflictual AG environmental litigation and another on bipartisan efforts to address the opioid epidemic. Both demonstrate AG’s prominent policymaking power, a power unlikely to abate anytime soon

CAPTURING USER INTENTIONS WITH HIGH PROBABLE SEARCH CRITERIA USING SEARCH HISTORIES

Many modern user-intensive applications, such as Web applications, must satisfy the interaction requirements of thousands if not millions of users, which can be hardly fully understood at design time. Designing applications that meet user behaviors, by efficiently supporting the prevalent navigation patterns, and evolving with them requires new approaches that go beyond classic software engineering solutions. We present a novel approach that automates the acquisition of user-interaction requirements in an incremental and reactive way. Our solution builds upon inferring a set of probabilistic models of the users' navigational behaviors, dynamically extracted from the interaction history given in the form of a log file. We annotate and analyze the inferred models to verify quantitative properties by means of probabilistic model checking. The paper investigates the advantages of the approach referring to a Web application to image retrieval currently in use

Maxillary Calcifying Epithelial Odontogenic Tumor Presenting at a Postextraction Site: A Case Report and Brief Review of Literature

Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) was described as an entity by Danish pathologist Jens J. Pindborg in 1955. It is a rare benign odontogenic neoplasm forming 0.4–3.0% of all intraosseous tumors. Also known as Pindborg tumor, it is traditionally described as an uncommon, benign neoplasm of exclusively epithelial tissue of origin. Much of controversy exists in the nature of origin of this tumor; there is no consensus on the originating cells of CEOT. Some pathologists suggest that it is derived from stratum intermedium layer of enamel organ in the tooth development stage; others favor a different hypothesis in which this tumor may arise from the remnants of primitive dental lamina in the initial stages of odontogenesis. Most of the cases reported involve the posterior mandible than the maxilla in the ratio of 3:1. The mean age is 30–40 years with no gender predilection. The present case throws highlight on the unusual site of the lesion, i.e. presenting in the maxillary molar region as an ulcerated area in the area of extraction socket. The study also attempts to briefly emphasize the concepts of CEOT and also revives the review of literature

Not all Acquirers perform the same, and that matters

Many studies of M&A performance suggest that most fail, using a wide range of methods and criteria for evaluation but based on the general assumption that they aim to maximise value. M&A are also studied at different levels of analysis, notably from strategy, CEO and macro perspectives and yet performance studies have not yet integrated these in a single analysis. This paper draws upon these three levels to create an M&A typology that can then be tested using a CAAR methodology. Results indicate significant differences in performance by M&A type. This suggests that each of the levels of analysis matters and in particular that context plays a crucial role. Our evidence suggests that, contrary to current M&A performance dogma, M&As with a classical strategy and good agent CEO during a boom period, out perform the market and other M&A deals

Platelet concentrates: Bioengineering dentistry′s regenerative dreams

Technological advances in the fields of medicine and allied sciences had given much needed momentum into the field of molecular biology and regenerative medicine. They indeed provided a boost to innovate new yields for both hard tissue and soft tissue regeneration in dentistry. One among them is the use of platelet concentrates (platelet rich plasma [PRP], platelet rich fibrin [PRF]). Autologous concentrate of blood platelets with a suspension of growth factors offers an enhanced healing of hard and soft tissues. It is an auxiliary benefit for an operator to be aware of platelet concentrates and its healing properties for delivering unsurpassed oral health care to patients. The current article outlines the principles, objectives and clinical insight to the regenerative potential of platelet concentrates in various fields of dentistry. The search words of the PubMed data base were PRF and other permutations of keywords such as "PRP dentistry", PRF dentistry, PRF regenerative dentistry
