DOI: 10.1097/prs.0000000000005871
Abstract: BACKGROUND Facial paralysis and postparalysis facial synkinesis both cause severe functional and aesthetic deficits. Functioning free muscle transplantation is the authors' preferred method for reconstructing both deformities. METHODS From 1985 to 2017, a total of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/access.2020.3038306
Abstract: Discovering influential nodes (or actors) in the network is often the key task of mining, analyzing, and understanding real-life networks. Centrality measures are commonly used to detect important nodes that control the information propagation in… read more here.
