OBJECTIVES: Nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) is the gold standard for diagnosing SSc and differentiating primary from secondary RP. The CAPI-Score algorithm, designed for simplicity, classifies capillaroscopy scleroderma patterns (CSPs) using a lim...
OBJECTIVES: Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are increasingly used to classify medical images, but few studies utilize smartphone photographs. The objective of this study was to assess CNNs for differentiating patients from controls and detecting...
OBJECTIVES: Stage ≥3 chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects ∼25% of people with gout. The effects of urate-lowering therapy (ULT) on CKD incidence and progression have remained inconclusive. Here, we assessed the impact of a gout ULT clinic interventio...
OBJECTIVES: EBV is a widespread virus implicated in various diseases, including SLE. However, the specific genes and pathways altered in SLE patients with EBV infection remain unclear. We aimed to identify key genes and immune cells in SLE patients w...
OBJECTIVE: Raman spectroscopy is proposed as a next-generation method for the identification of monosodium urate (MSU) and calcium pyrophosphate (CPP) crystals in synovial fluid. As the interpretation of Raman spectra requires specific expertise, the...
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to investigate the value of a deep learning (DL) model based on greyscale ultrasound (US) images for precise assessment and accurate diagnosis of primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS).
OBJECTIVES: Although deep learning has demonstrated substantial potential in automatic quantification of joint damage in RA, evidence for detecting longitudinal changes at an individual patient level is lacking. Here, we introduce and externally vali...
