The Lupus Damage Index Revision Program: Results From the Item Generation and Reduction Phases

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective A data‐driven and expert/patient consensus‐based project to develop a revised Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics (SLICC)/American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Damage Index (SDI) is under way supported by SLICC, ACR, and the Lupus Foundation of America. Our objective is to report the item generation and reduction phase results

On the Transverse Diffusion of Beams of Photons in Radiation Therapy [PDF]

, 2018
Typical external radiotherapy treatments consist in emitting beams of energetic photons targeting the tumor cells. Those photons are transported through the medium and interact with it. Such interactions affect the motion of the photons but they are typically weakly deflected which is not well modeled by standard numerical methods.

Strain‐Programmable Luminescent Adhesive Patch With Tartrazine‐Mediated Optical Skin Clearing for Photochemical Tissue Bonding

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We propose a suture‐complementary approach that integrates optical skin clearing with a strain‐programmable luminescent adhesive patch. Hyaluronic acid promotes transdermal delivery of tartrazine to improve optical clearing and stabilizes its interaction with a photosensitizer. Optical clearing increases the penetration depth of visible light into skin,

Coupled Photon and Heat Transport Simulation inside Biological Tissue for Laser Therapy

Journal of Thermal Science and Technology, 2009
The objective of this study is to develop a new simulator for laser therapy. In order to minimize undesired effects on the laser therapy, it is important to precisely predict for heat and photon transport inside a biological tissue. In the present study,
