Intestinal content detection in capsule endoscopy using robust features [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
This work covers two aspects. First, it generally compares and summarizes the similarities and differences of state of the art feature detector and descriptor and second it presents a novel approach of detecting intestinal content (in particular bubbles)

Additional lateral meniscus centralization reduces residual anterolateral rotatory instability after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and lateral meniscus repair

open access: yesKnee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose This study aimed to examine the effects of lateral meniscus (LM) centralization on anterolateral rotational stability in patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and LM injuries. The hypothesis was that performing LM repair and centralization on knees with LM lesions would control anterolateral rotatory instability (ALRI ...

Suture tape augmentation in arthroscopic lateral ligament repair for chronic ankle instability yields similar clinical outcomes but faster return to sport compared to isolated repair

open access: yesKnee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Arthroscopic ligament repair is a standard treatment for chronic ankle instability (CAI). In patients with risk factors for failure, isolated repair (ILR) may be insufficient and augmentation techniques have been proposed. This study compared ILR with suture tape–augmented repair (LR + STA), hypothesizing comparable outcomes in higher ...

Is There a Role for Sodium Fluoride in Otosclerosis Treatment?

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Various reports have investigated the role of NaF for stabilizing SNHL in the setting of otosclerosis; however, there currently remains no established practice guideline or widespread consensus. The purpose of this paper is to interpret the literature to determine best practices for the use of NaF in otosclerosis management.

Acromegaly Presenting With Cricoarytenoid Joint Arthropathy

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Excess growth hormone in acromegaly induces characteristic acral and soft tissue overgrowth (particularly in the face and hands), arthropathies, as well as cardiovascular and metabolic complications. Similar proliferative changes can occur in the larynx, where hypertrophy of the arytenoid and cricoid cartilages may impair vocal fold mobility.

Capsule Endoscopy in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Current Status and Issues in Clinical Practice. [PDF]

open access: yesDEN Open
ABSTRACT Inflammatory bowel diseases include Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), both of which require endoscopic evaluation of mucosal surfaces. Capsule endoscopy has been used in clinical practice since 2000 as a minimally invasive means of mucosal evaluation.

Amplification of Light‐Ultrasound Interaction in a Pi‐Shifted Fiber Bragg Grating for Enhanced Ultrasonic Sensitivity

open access: yesLaser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
By precisely engineering the geometry of a fiber‐based optical resonator, the interaction between confined light and external ultrasound waves is significantly amplified without sacrificing light confinement, boosting the ultrasound detection sensitivity beyond 0.5 mPa/√Hz.
