Abstract Background Clinical assessment of skin stiffness is unreliable in many applications. The durometer, an industrial device to measure hardness, has previously been applied scleroderma. Myoton a noninvasive handheld for assessing soft tissue biomechanical parameters. Materials and Methods We evaluated the reproducibility both devices six healthy subjects volar forearm, dorsal upper arm, shin, calf bilaterally. intraclass correlation coefficient ( ICC ) was used as among three...
Burkholderia cepacia prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) is extremely rare, with few cases in the literature. A report of a patient PVE described, followed by literature review on B. PVE. 38-year-old man poor dentition and history intravenous drug use mitral replacement was found to have vegetation. Five sets blood cultures different days grew cepacia. Individual dates also isolated Streptococcus viridans (outside hospital culture), methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis (hospital...
Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) is a frequent and potentially life-threatening complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) commonly affects the skin, resulting in distressing patient morbidity. The percentage involved body surface area (BSA) used for diagnosing scoring severity cGVHD. However, segmentation BSA from whole serial photography challenging because (1) it difficult to design traditional method that rely on hand crafted features as appearance...
