This study developed a novel binary classification method for analyzing nailfold capillary images associated with the risk of developing sclerosis. The proposed approach combined a Sugeno fuzzy integral inference system with an ensemble of convolutio...
Nailfold Capillaroscopy (NFC) is a simple, non-invasive diagnostic tool used to detect microvascular changes in nailfold. Chronic pathological changes associated with a wide range of systemic diseases, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, and ...
Human nails have recently become a sample of interest for toxicological purposes. Multiple studies have proven the ability to detect various analytes within the keratin matrix of the nail. The analyte of interest in this study is fentanyl, a highly d...

OBJECTIVE: Most current wound size measurement devices or applications require manual wound tracing and reference markers. Chronic wound care usually relies on patients or caregivers who might have difficulties using these devices. Considering a more...
Visual examination of nails can reflect human health status. Diseases such as nutritive imbalances and skin diseases can be identified by looking at the colors around the plate part of the nails. We present the AI-based NAILS method to detect fingern...
Since nail psoriasis restricts the patient's daily activities, therapeutic intervention based on reliable and reproducible evaluation is critical. The Nail Psoriasis Severity Index (NAPSI) is a validated scoring tool, but its usefulness is limited by...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the performance of machine learning and then deep learning to detect a systemic scleroderma (SSc) landscape from the same set of nailfold capillaroscopy (NC) images from the French prospective multicenter observational study SC...
Nail psoriasis is a chronic condition characterized by nail dystrophy affecting the nail matrix and bed. The severity of nail psoriasis is commonly assessed using the Nail Psoriasis Severity Index (NAPSI), which evaluates the characteristics and exte...
Nail psoriasis occurs in about every second psoriasis patient. Both, finger and toe nails can be affected and also severely destroyed. Furthermore, nail psoriasis is associated with a more severe course of the disease and the development of psoriatic...
In this study, we investigated the effect of the presence or absence of fingernails on precision grasping using artificial anthropomimetic fingers. We hypothesized that fingernails improve precision grasping performance by increasing the friction coe...
