The advances of remote sensing techniques allow for the generation dense point clouds to detect detailed surface changes up centimeter/millimeter levels. However, there is still a need an easy method derive such based on digital elevation models generated from while taking into consideration spatial varied uncertainty. We present straightforward method, Las2DoD, quantify change directly with sp...

Objectives. Ultrasonography (US) is a sensitive tool for detecting erosions in patients with RA. The wrist is usually involved in the RA process, where the distal ulna with its superficial localization is easily accessible for US examination. In this longitudinal study, we wanted to examine the presence, localization and development of erosions at the distal ulna by US in patients with recent o...

AIM To investigate by electron microscopy the plane of separation of the epithelial sheet from its substratum in the procedure of alcohol delamination (ALD) in patients with recurrent corneal erosion syndrome. METHODS Ten cases of recurrent corneal erosions (RCE) secondary to trauma and seven cases related to map-dot-fingerprint dystrophy (MDFP) were treated with ALD. The epithelial sheets ob...

OBJECTIVE To assess the ability of ultrasonography (US) to predict radiographic damage in early arthritis. METHODS ESPOIR is a multicentric cohort of early arthritis (i.e., ≥2 swollen joints between 6 weeks and 6 months). US synovitis in B mode, power Doppler (PD) mode, and erosions were searched on the second through the fifth metacarpophalangeal and fifth metatarsophalangeal joints accordin...

Highlights Very fine sand is the single most important variable for predicting rill and interrill erodibility values. Slope steepness property critical shear erosion. Erodibility prediction equations with best goodness-of-fits have both soil texture mineralogy terms. Equations to predict from texture, organic carbon, cation excha...

BACKGROUND The objectives of the present study were, with multidetector computed tomography (CT) as the reference method, to determine the performance of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and radiography for the detection of bone erosions in rheumatoid arthritis wrist bones, and to test whether measuring volumes of erosions on CT and MRI is reproducible and correlated to semiquantitative assessm...
