BACKGROUND The presence of leukocyte esterase in the synovial fluid has recently been proposed as a marker for periprosthetic joint infection. However, the sensitivity and specificity of leukocyte esterase has not been determined when matched for the current, most inclusive Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS) criteria for periprosthetic joint infection. METHODS The presence of leukocyte ...

BACKGROUND The diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) remains a serious clinical challenge. There is a pressing need for improved diagnostic testing methods; biomarkers offer one potentially promising approach. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We evaluated the diagnostic characteristics of 16 promising synovial fluid biomarkers for the diagnosis of PJI. METHODS Synovial fluid was collected fro...

Recently, many convolutional networks have been built to fuse a low spatial resolution (LR) hyperspectral image (HSI) and high (HR) multispectral (MSI) obtain HR HSIs. However, most deep learning-based methods are supervised methods, which require sufficient HSIs for training. Collecting plenty of is laborious time-consuming. In this paper, self-supervised spectral-spatial residual network (SSR...

Musculoskeletal Injuries (MSIs) are expected consequences of participation in sports-related occupations like basketball given that it is a contact sport with complex movements include jumps, turns, and quick changes direction.

OBJECTIVE The association between anti-tumor necrosis factor therapy and increased rates of infection is widely documented in adults with rheumatoid arthritis. Findings in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) have been less well documented. The aims of this analysis were to compare the rates of medically significant infections (MSIs) in children with JIA treated with etanercept (ET...

OBJECTIVE To study the relationships between 1-2 year changes in well-known physician-rated measurements (Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), Timed 25-Foot Walk (T25FW), 9-Hole Peg Test (9HPT)) and the long-term (≥ 5 years) outcome in patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures (Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale (MSIS-29), Multiple Sclerosis Walking Scale (MSWS-12)) that reflect the patient-perc...

BACKGROUND Synovial fluid biomarkers have demonstrated diagnostic accuracy surpassing the currently used diagnostic tests for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). QUESTIONS/PURPOSES The purpose of this study is to directly compare the sensitivity and specificity of the synovial fluid α-defensin immunoassay to the leukocyte esterase (LE) colorimetric test strip. METHODS Synovial fluid was c...
