Xiralite continues to be scientifically active.

 

Together with the Charité, the Parkklinik Weißensee Berlin and the Diakonhjemmet Hospital, Oslo, we had an abstract at the EULAR Congress 2024:

  • N Stumper et al. “To optimize the diagnostic process of rheumatic diseases affecting the hands using FOI” (AB1481)
  • At the EULAR Congress 2023 Nele Stumper (Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin) reported in an oral presentation on our joint work:

  • N Stumper et al. “Relevant features in fluorescence optical imaging for differential diagnosis of rheumatic diseases affecting the hands” (OP0175, pdf)
  • There were further conference contributions on FOI of the hands:

  • S Ohrndorf et al. (EULAR 2024), N Nendel et al. (EULAR 2024), B. Drudel et al. (EULAR 2023) und L. Zerweck et al. (CLIP 2023, EPIMI 2023, FAIMI 2023).
  • In collaboration with the Charité and the Wildau Technical University two open access articles on image features in FOI investigations have been published:

  • F Rothe et al. “Fluorescence optical imaging feature selection with machine learning for differential diagnosis of selected rheumatic diseases” (Frontiers)
  • E Gedat et al. “Features Found in Indocyanine Green-Based Fluorescence Optical Imaging of Inflammatory Diseases of the Hands” (Diagnostics)

    The EULAR Congress, the largest European scientific event in the field of Rheumatology will be held this year on June 1-4 both virtually and onsite in the beautiful city of Copenhagen. We are very much looking forward to meeting our customers and partners again as well as making new contacts! Please come and visit us at Booth # E1.2 to learn more about our XiraliteTM products and their exciting application in the field of Rheumatology.

    We will also be revealing the newest results obtained using fluorescence optical imaging (FOI) for the differential diagnosis of connective tissue diseases. Our poster was selected for the postertour “Looking through the glass“ and will be presented on the 2nd of June at 12:50 in Auditorium 8. See you there!

    FOI (Xiralite) improves prediction of digital ulcers in systemic sclerosis using a composite score

    2020-09-30
    Julia Prinz

    Systemic sclerosis is a rare chronic disease characterized by diffuse fibrosis and vascular abnormalities in the skin, joints, and internal organs. In most patients, initial symptom is a blue or white coloring in response to cold temperature, a condition known as Raynaud’s phenomenon. Eventually, half of those persons will develop serious ischemic complications. They will get digital ulcers or pitting scars that quickly result in pain, loss of function or in the worst cases, amputation. Prediction of this outcome is vital in order to establish the right preventive treatment. Unfortunately, existing tools have a high sensitivity but a low specificity, meaning that some patients might receive treatments that they do not require.
    We are glad to report that in a collaborative project involving several centers, a group of clinicians proved that fluorescence optical imaging (FOI – Xiralite) can improve diagnostic performance. FOI (see picture) was combined with doppler ultrasound, clinical data and patient history creating a so-called composite score (CIP-DUS). Following this score, predictions on who might develop digital ulcers and therefore need treatment, were higher.
    These results were published in the Arthritis Research & Therapy journal and can be found at the following link.
