We propose methodologies to train highly accurate and efficient deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for image super resolution (SR). A cascade training approach to deep learning is proposed to improve the accuracy of the neural networks while gradually increasing the number of network layers. Next, we explore how to improve the SR efficiency by making the network slimmer. Two methodologie...

Eyelashes have a protective function against airborne particles. In addition, loss of eyelashes can be cosmetically unacceptable to some patients. For eyelash loss due to alopecia, treatments including oral steroids or other systemic medications have limited efficacy and can be potentially dangerous to the eye. We report growth of eyelashes after treatment with latanoprost in a patient with tot...

In this paper, we consider the iterated trimming complex associated to data yielding a of length 3. We compute an explicit algebra structure in terms structures input data. Moreover, it is shown that many these products become trivial after descending homology. apply results problem realizability for Tor-algebras grade 3 perfect ideals, and show under mild hypotheses, process “trimming” ideal p...

Background. Periorbital basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is considered a high risk case because it is associated with high rate of recurrence and complication. Superpulsed CO2 laser with intraoperative pathologic assessment could be an alternative and appropriate treatment for periocular lesions where Mohs micrographic surgery is not available. Objective. To evaluate the efficacy of superpulsed CO2 l...

PURPOSE To investigate the surgical results of an ear cartilage graft and supplemental procedures for correcting lower lid retraction combined with entropion in anophthalmic patients. METHODS We reviewed retrospectively the medical records of 7 anophthalmic patients with lower lid retraction and entropion, who received a posterior lamellar ear cartilage graft and one or both of lateral tarsal...

BACKGROUND Latanoprost is a prostaglandin analogue used to treat glaucoma. It can cause adverse effects, such as iridial and periocular hyperpigmentation, and eyelash changes including pigmentation and increased thickness, length, and number. Latanoprost has been used to treat eyelash alopecia, but knowledge on its effects on human scalp hair growth is not available. OBJECTIVE The primary obj...
