Scruples over speckles

open access: yesJournal of Medical Ultrasound, 2020
The "snowstorm" sign refers to the ultrasound appearance of motile hyperechoic specks within synovial fluid and has been reported to have a high specificity for gout. We describe three additional etiologies commonly encountered in the rheumatology clinic that can produce a snowstorm: calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease, fibrin collections/rice ...

Employing a Mixture of Rayleigh and Inverse Gaussian Distributions as SAR Clutter Texture Model in MAP Estimation for Efficient Speckle Suppression

open access: yesIEEE Access
This article proposes a speckle suppression technique based on a binary mixture of the Rayleigh and the reciprocal of Gaussian (RIG) distributions. This model suitably characterizes the texture of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) return from regions with ...

Photon-Counting Security Tagging and Verification Using Optically Encoded QR Codes

open access: yesIEEE Photonics Journal, 2014
We propose an optical security method for object authentication using photon-counting encryption implemented with phase encoded QR codes. By combining the full phase double-random-phase encryption with photon-counting imaging method and applying an ...

Spatially adaptive polarimetric image despeckling using bandelet transform

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Remote Sensing, 2020
Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (PolSAR) imaging extended SAR applications by exploring the polarimetric properties of the target scatterers. Similar to SAR images, PolSAR images are prone to multiplicative speckle noise due to its coherent imaging

High-sensitive troponin T increase after hemodialysis is associated with left ventricular global longitudinal strain and ultrafiltration rate

open access: yesCardiology Journal, 2020
BACKGROUND: Circulating troponin levels are both stable and higher in patients with end-stage renal disease, even in the absence of acute coronary syndrome. These patients commonly have underlying cardiac problems that frequently cause troponin elevation.

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

Superpixel cosegmentation algorithm for synthetic aperture radar image change detection

open access: yesThe Journal of Engineering, 2019
Image segmentation has gained increasing popularity and has been widely applied in various image processing tasks recently. A simple linear iterative clustering (SLIC) superpixel generating algorithm for optical images based on k-means clustering ...

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.
