Background: Peri-implantitis, an inflammatory condition leading to progressive bone loss around dental implants, represents a significant challenge in modern implant dentistry.Conventional mechanical debridement and adjunctive antibiotics or antiseptics often fail to fully eradicate complex biofilms and may promote antibiotic resistance.Photodynami
Prediction of geomagnetic storms from solar wind data with the use of a neural network
An artificial feed-forward neural network with one hidden layer and error back-propagation learning is used to predict the geomagnetic activity index (<i>D<sub>st</sub></i>) one hour in advance.The <i>B<sub>z</sub></i>-component and <i>Σ<sub>Bz</sub></i>, the density
The promise of computer adaptive testing in collection of orthopaedic outcomes: an evaluation of PROMIS utilization
Abstract Background A crucial component to improving patient care is better clinician understanding of patients’ health-related quality of life (HRQoL).In orthopaedic surgery, HRQoL assessment instruments such as the NIH developed Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS), provide surgeons with a framework to assess how a
