- Bladder tissue characterization using probe‐based Raman spectroscopy: Evaluation of tissue heterogeneity and influence on the model predictionExisting approaches for early‐stage bladder tumor diagnosis largely depend on invasive and time‐consuming procedures, resulting in hospitalization, bleeding, bladder perforation, infection and other health risks for the patient. The reduction of current risk factors, while maintaining or even improving the diagnostic precision, is an underlying factor in clinical instrumentation re‐search. Therefore, novel diagnostic modalities are required that
- Contamination detection by optical measurements in a real‐life environment: A hospital case studyABSTRACT Organic dirt on touch surfaces can be biological contaminants (microbes) or nutrients for those but is often invisible by the human eye causing challenges for evaluating the need for cleaning. Using hyperspectral scanning algorithm, touch surface cleanliness monitoring by optical imaging was studied in a real‐life hospital environment. As the highlight, a human eye invisible stain from a dirty chair armrest was revealed manually with al

- The wrist is not the brain: Estimation of sleep by clinical and consumer wearable actigraphy devices is impacted by multiple patient‐ and device‐specific factorsAbstract Clinical actigraphy devices provide adequate estimates of some sleep measures across large groups. In practice, providers are asked to apply clinical or consumer wearable data to individual patient assessments. Inter‐individual variability in device performance will impact such patient‐specific interpretation. We assessed two devices, clinical and consumer, to determine the magnitude and predictors of this individual‐level variability.
- Event marker compliance in actigraphyAbstract Actigraphy is a versatile tool for evaluating sleep−wake cycles over time in the home‐environment. Patients using the Phillips Actiwatch place an event marker when going to sleep and upon awakening. We investigate compliance in pressing the Actiwatch event marker button for patients referred for insomnia, hypersomnia and disorders of circadian rhythm. We retrospectively analysed event markers from 150 patients undergoing actigraphy for

The present state-of-the-art review examines the effect of AT on communication abilities in individuals with hearing impairment. In particular,
- Maximum Output and Low-Frequency Limitations of B71 and B81 Clinical Bone Vibrators: Implications for Vestibular Evoked PotentialsObjectives: Bone-conducted vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) are tuned to have their maximum amplitude in response to tone bursts at or below 250 Hz. The low-frequency limitations of clinical bone vibrators have not been established for transient, tone burst stimuli at frequencies that are optimal for eliciting VEMPs. Design: Tone bursts with frequencies of 250 to 2000 Hz were delivered to B71 and B81 bone vibrators and their

- An Enteropathy-like Indolent NK-Cell Proliferation Presenting in the Female Genital TractNatural killer (NK) cell enteropathy is a lymphoproliferative disorder, initially described by Mansoor and colleagues, that presents in the gastrointestinal tract, and is often mistaken for extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma on first assessment. This population of cells in this process have an NK-cell phenotype (CD3, CD56, CD2, CD7), lacks evidence of Epstein-Barr virus infection, has germline rearrangement of the T-cell receptor, and a very indolent
- Morphologic Patterns and the Correlation With MYD88 L265P, CD79B Mutations in Primary Adrenal Diffuse Large B-Cell LymphomaPrimary adrenal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PA-DLBCL) is a rare subtype of extranodal DLBCL. Because of the rarity of this disease, its morphologic and genetic features are not comprehensively studied. Here, we systematically reviewed the clinicopathologic features of 42 cases of PA-DLBCL from our institution and investigated the frequency of MYD88 L265P and CD79B (exon 5) mutation in 29 eligible cases using Sanger sequencing. Clinically, PA-D
- Flat Epithelial Atypia in Breast Core Needle Biopsies With Radiologic-Pathologic Concordance: Is Excision Necessary?Flat epithelial atypia (FEA) is an alteration of terminal duct lobular units by a proliferation of ductal epithelium with low-grade atypia. No consensus exists on whether the diagnosis of FEA in core needle biopsy (CNB) requires excision (EXC). We retrospectively identified all in-house CNBs obtained between January 2012 and July 2018 with FEA. We reviewed all CNB slides and assessed radiologic-pathologic concordance.
