A compact handheld skin ultrasound imaging device has been developed that uses co-registered optical and ultrasound imaging to provide diagnostic information about the full skin depth. The aim of the current work is to present the preliminary clinical results of this device. Using additional photographic, dermoscopic and ultrasonic images as reference, the images from the device were assessed in terms of the detectability of the main skin layer boundaries and characteristic image features.

- The study investigates how different lunar phases affect sleep characteristics in humans, given the popular belief that the moon influences behavior and health.
- A total of 319 patients underwent sleep studies, revealing that sleep quality, defined by sleep efficiency and deep sleep duration, was notably worse during the full moon compared to the new moon and alternate moon phases.
- The findings suggest a connection between the full moon and poorer sleep, aligning with previous reports and common beliefs about the lunar cycle's impact on human physiology.
Background: Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is an important outcome measure in patients with chronic kidney disease. It also has been shown repeatedly to predict mortality in various patient populations. In a prospective cohort study, we assessed the association between HRQoL and long-term clinical outcome in kidney transplant recipients.

The complex relationship between MICS and depression has never been studied in kidney transplanted (Tx) patients. Here we evaluate the association between the Malnutrition-Inflammation Score (MIS) (Kalantar score) and depressive symptoms in Tx patients.
