Clinical and Histopathologic Characteristics and Template of the TGFBI p.(His626Arg) Missense Variant Lattice Corneal Dystrophy.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to define, following the IC3D template format, the clinical and histopathologic phenotype of the p.(His626Arg) missense variant lattice corneal dystrophy (LCDV-H626R), the most common variant lattice dystrophy, and to record long-term outcome of corneal transplantation in this dystrophy.

Methods: A database search and a meta-analysis of published data on LCDV-H626R were conducted.

Feasibility of Hyperspectral Single Photon Lidar for Robust Autonomous Vehicle Perception.

Autonomous vehicle perception systems typically rely on single-wavelength lidar sensors to obtain three-dimensional information about the road environment. In contrast to cameras, lidars are unaffected by challenging illumination conditions, such as low light during night-time and various bidirectional effects changing the return reflectance. However, as many commercial lidars operate on a monochromatic basis, the ability to distinguish objects based on material spectral properties is limited.

A novel missense variant p.(Ser591Phe) in a Finnish family with variant lattice corneal dystrophy.

Introduction: We describe the phenotype of a variant lattice corneal dystrophy (LCD) potentially caused by a novel variant c.1772C>T p.(Ser591Phe) in exon 13 of the transforming growth factor beta-induced gene.

Quality and Findings of Bitewing Radiographs among Twenty-Year-Old Conscripts in Finland.

Objectives: Bitewing radiographs are mainly used to confirm clinical findings in caries diagnostics. The objective here was to investigate the quality of bitewing radiographs after short brush-up training and additional findings besides caries in a low-caries population.

Methods: The material of this cross-sectional study comprised 377 pairs of bitewing radiographs of 19- to 20-year-olds taken by dentists.

Symptom control among asthmatics with a clinically significant smoking history: a cross-sectional study in Finland.

Background: Surprisingly little is known about asthma control among asthmatics who smoke. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate asthma symptom control according to the GINA guidelines among asthmatics with a clinically significant smoking history.

Methods: One hundred ninety asthmatics from primary care in Finland were investigated.
