Automated detection of bone splinters in DEXA phantoms using deep neural networks

Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2019
Dual energy radiographic imaging is a method to provide material information and can be used to differentiate between various tissue types. Dual energy X-ray absorption (DEXA) can be applied for breast density, osteoporosis or bone fracture analysis.

Growth Differentiation Factor 15 Elevation in the Central Nervous System Is Associated With Failure to Thrive in Alexander Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Alexander disease (AxD) is a severe neurodegenerative disorder caused by gain‐of‐function mutations in the gene for GFAP, which lead to protein aggregation and a primary astrocytopathy. Symptoms vary, but failure to thrive (FTT) and frequent emesis are common and cause significant morbidity. Here we investigate GDF15, a member of the

Scoliosis Surgery in a Patient With Advanced Friedreich's Ataxia—It Is Not Too Late

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Friedreich's ataxia is a multisystem disorder with scoliosis being the most common non‐neurological manifestation. While scoliosis surgery is typically performed in adolescent, ambulatory patients, few data exist on surgical outcomes in patients with advanced disease.

Global and regional temporal changes in cross‐country inequalities of site‐specific osteoarthritis burden, 1990–2021

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective This study examined the global and regional temporal changes in cross‐country inequalities of site‐specific osteoarthritis (OA) burden from 1990 to 2021. Methods Age‐standardized years lived with disability rate for site‐specific OA across 204 countries/territories were obtained from the Global Burden of Diseases Study (GBD) 2021.

Patterns of variability in Be/X-ray pulsars during giant outbursts

, 2013
The discovery of source states in the X-ray emission of black-hole binaries and neutron-star low-mass X-ray binaries constituted a major step forward in the understanding of the physics of accretion onto compact objects.

Physician Referral Patterns to Physical Therapists for Managing Knee Osteoarthritis: A Retrospective Analysis of Electronic Health Records from an Integrated Health System

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objectives This study aims to describe the frequency and timing of physician referrals to physical therapists (PT) and other treatments prescribed over 12 months in patients with recent onset of knee osteoarthritis (KOA). The study also aims to identify determinants of early PT referrals.

Adipokines and Associations with Incident Osteoporotic Fracture in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Purpose We assessed whether circulating adipokines are associated with incident fractures in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods Three adipokines (adiponectin, leptin, fibroblast growth factor [FGF]‐21) were measured using banked enrollment serum from participants in a longitudinal RA cohort.

The superslow pulsation X-ray pulsars in high mass X-ray binaries

, 2012
There exists a special class of X-ray pulsars that exhibit very slow pulsation of $P_{\rm spin}>1000$ s in the high mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs). We have studied the temporal and spectral properties of these superslow pulsation neutron star binaries in ...
