Chondrocalcinosis is common in the absence of knee involvement [PDF]
Introduction: We aimed to describe the distribution of radiographic chondrocalcinosis (CC) and to examine whether metacarpophalangeal joint (MCPJ) calcification and CC at other joints occurs in the absence of knee involvement.

Joint Reconstruction of Multi-channel, Spectral CT Data via Constrained Total Nuclear Variation Minimization [PDF]
We explore the use of the recently proposed "total nuclear variation" (TNV) as a regularizer for reconstructing multi-channel, spectral CT images. This convex penalty is a natural extension of the total variation (TV) to vector-valued images and has the ...

Crowned Dens Syndrome Mimicking Atlantoaxial Infection in a Patient With Systemic Sclerosis: A Case Report. [PDF]
Objective Crowned dens syndrome (CDS), caused by calcium pyrophosphate or hydroxyapatite deposition around the odontoid process, is an under‐recognized cause of acute severe neck pain and headache. It can closely mimic septic arthritis, osteomyelitis, giant cell arteritis (GCA), polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR), or cervical spondylitis. We report a case of

Estimation and Modeling of the Full Well Capacity in Pinned Photodiode CMOS Image Sensors [PDF]
This letter presents a simple analytical model for the evaluation of the full well capacity (FWC) of pinned photodiode (PPD) CMOS image sensors depending on the operating conditions and on the pixel parameters.

Influence of ionic additives on triclinic calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate precipitation [PDF]
Triclinic calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (t- CPPD) crystals are one of the two polymorphs of microcrystals that have been found in the joints of patients suffering from pseudogout. However, there is currently no treatment for inhibiting the formation of
