Digital Camouflage Pattern Design Based on the Biased Random Walk by Yuanying Gan, Chuntong Liu, Zhenxin He, Hongcai Li, Zhongye Liu

“…The quantitative analysis results show that the mean heart rate of the digital camouflage pattern based on multiscene design is at least 31.0% higher than that of the original background segmentation texture, and the standard deviation index of equivalent diameter is increased by 14.9% on average. In addition, the results of simulation camouflage image detection in multiple scenes show that the proposed method can effectively deal with camouflage target detection on the basis of fully retaining the original background texture information and has strong camouflage concealment effect in the scene.…”

Clinical picture, diagnosis, and treatment of gingival cyst: A narrative review by Patrycja Tarka, Piotr Wlodarczyk, Daniel Hafzi, Peer Steinsvoll, Iwona Olszewska-Czyz

“…The literature on GCA indicated that this relatively rare developmental odontogenic cyst is mostly prevalent in the 5th and 6th decade, most frequently in the mandible and canine-premolar sites, typically presenting as solitary lesion of 5 mm diameter, treated by excisional biopsy. Histology shows a very thin, uninflamed wall, lined with a squamous or cuboidal epithelium. …”
