Metabolic Consequences of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may have metabolic disruption, which can contribute to adverse long‐term outcomes, for multiple reasons. Patients with RA appear to have a higher risk of sarcopenia, type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, and hypertension. Systemic inflammation in RA can cause a “lipid paradox,” with reduced low‐

Autonomous Robotic Screening of Tubular Structures based only on Real-Time Ultrasound Imaging Feedback [PDF]
Ultrasound (US) imaging is widely employed for diagnosis and staging of peripheral vascular diseases (PVD), mainly due to its high availability and the fact it does not emit radiation. However, high inter-operator variability and a lack of repeatability of US image acquisition hinder the implementation of extensive screening programs.

Waveform Phasicity Prediction from Arterial Sounds through Spectrogram Analysis using Convolutional Neural Networks for Limb Perfusion Assessment [PDF]
Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is a common form of arterial occlusive disease that is challenging to evaluate at the point-of-care. Hand-held dopplers are the most ubiquitous device used to evaluate circulation and allows providers to audibly "listen" to the blood flow.
