OBJECTIVE To evaluate radiographically the humeroulnar (HU) and humeroradial (HR) joint spaces in patients with long-term rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS An inception cohort of 74 patients with RA were followed for 15 yr. At the end-point, 148 elbows were radiographed by a standard method. The HU and HR joint spaces were examined from the anteroposterior radiographs by measuring the shorte...

OBJECTIVE To devise a reliable, sensitive method to measure joint space in vivo during dynamic loading. Additionally, to determine if dynamic joint space changes were related to the severity of long-term cartilage damage. DESIGN Subjects were 23 adult foxhounds (18 experimental, 5 control). Experimental subjects had surgically transected cranial cruciate ligaments (CCL). Dynamic joint space w...

BACKGROUND Previous studies reporting the impact of osteoarthritis (OA) on pain and function after hip arthroscopy largely predate resection of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We determined (1) functional improvement after resection of FAI impingement lesions in patients with preoperative radiographic joint space narrowing, and (2) identified preoperative predictors of ...

Emotion lexica are commonly used resources to combat data poverty in automatic emotion detection. However, vocabulary coverage issues, differences construction method and discrepancies framework representation result a heterogeneous landscape of detection resources, calling for unified approach utilizing them. To this, we present an extended lexicon 30,273 unique entries, which is merging eight...

In this paper, a design of modularized dual-joint servo controller on-chip for a space manipulator system is presented. All sensor information collection within the joints are obtained with FPGA hardware logic elements, and the joint space trajectory planning and position control are realized by Nios II soft-core processor, which is embedded in FPGA. Moreover, a dualredundant CAN bus Interface ...
