ENDOSCOPIC DACRYOCYSTORHINOSTOMY WITH SHORT-TERM, PUSHED-TYPE BICANALICULAR INTUBATION VS. PULLED-TYPE MONOCANALICULAR INTUBATION FOR PRIMARY ACQUIRED NASOLACRIMAL DUCT OBSTRUCTION

Endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy with short-term, pushed-type bicanalicular intubation vs. pulled-type monocanalicular intubation for primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction

Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) has been a primary treatment for adults with nasolacrimal duct obstruction, while the optimal approach and technique remain controversial.With the advancement of endoscopic DCR and the silicone stents, an update of the surgical outcomes and preferable approaches is required.This study aims at comparing the surgical outco

Fault Attacks on the Authenticated Encryption Stream Cipher MORUS

This paper LANTERN investigates the application of fault attacks to the authenticated encryption stream cipher algorithm MORUS.We propose fault attacks on MORUS with two different goals: one to breach the confidentiality component, and the other to breach the integrity component.For the fault attack on the confidentiality component of MORUS, we pro

Key-Indexed Channel Phase Extended Permutation for Secure Physical Layer Authentication in Correlated Sub-Channels

In this paper, we present a novel key-indexed channel phase permutation method designed to enhance the security of physical-layer (PHY) authentication in the presence of correlated sub-channels.In wireless communication, secret keys should be protected from eavesdroppers, as unauthorized access to these keys may compromise user security, expose sen

Jabuticaba [Plinia trunciflora (O. Berg) Kausel] Protects Liver of Diabetic Rats Against Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Oxidative Stress Through the Modulation of SIRT3 Expression

Complications generated by hyperglycemia present in diabetes mellitus (DM) have been constantly related to oxidative stress and dysfunction in the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC).Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3), which is present in mitochondria, is responsible for regulating several proteins involved in metabolic homeostasis and oxidative stress.Stu
