This paper is concerned with a state-space approach to deep Gaussian process (DGP) regression. We construct the DGP by hierarchically putting transformed (GP) priors on length scales and magnitudes of next level processes in hierarchy. The idea represent as non-linear hierarchical system linear stochastic differential equations (SDEs), where each SDE corresponds conditional GP. regression probl...

Hyperhidrosis is a common disorder that may have a severe impact on quality of life. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical effect of two novel botulinum toxins, Xeomin®, a type A botulinum toxin, and Neuro-bloc®, a type B botulinum toxin, in the treatment of axillary and palmar hyperhidrosis. A total of 84 patients, 58 with axillary and 26 with palmar hyperhidrosis, were include...

Background Palmar hyperhidrosis is a common disorder of excessive sweating. A number of studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of iontophoresis in the treatment of palmar hyperhidrosis. However, controlled clinical studies on iontophoresis for palmar hyperhidrosis have been limited. Objective To determine the efficacy and safety of iontophoresis in the treatment of palmar hyperhidrosis w...

Background: Trigger finger is characterized by the inability to smoothly flex and extend the digit. Corticosteroids are an accepted non-surgical treatment option and can be delivered via two techniques. While the palmar approach is more commonly used, some have suggested that the mid-axial approach may be less painful for patients and yield higher intrasheath injection rates. The purpose of thi...

Contractile fibroblasts are believed to be responsible for palmar fascia contracture in Dupuytren's Disease. An in vitro collagen lattice model was used to examine the contractile properties of Dupuytren's fibroblasts from 10 patients undergoing partial fasciectomy, and palmar fascia fibroblasts from 6 patients undergoing carpel tunnel release. Dupuytren's and palmar fascia fibroblasts cultured...
