Abstract

International audience; This track of the SHREC 2018 originally aimed at recognizing relief patterns over a set of triangle meshes from laser scan acquisitions of archaeological fragments. This track approaches a lively and very challenging problem that remains open after the end of the track. In this report we discuss the challenges to face to successfully address geometric pattern recognition over surfaces; how the existing techniques can go further in this direction, what is currently missing and what is necessary to be further developed.

Abstract

International audience; This paper presents the results of the SHREC'18 track: Retrieval of gray patterns depicted on 3D models. The task proposed in the contest challenges the possibility of retrieving surfaces with the same texture pattern of a given query model. This task, which can be seen as a simplified version of many real world applications, requires a characterization of the surfaces based on local features, rather then considering the surface size and/or bending. All runs submitted to this track are based on feature vectors. The retrieval performances of the runs submitted for evaluation reveal that texture pattern retrieval is a challenging issue. Indeed, a good balance between the size of the pattern and the dimension of the region around a vertex used to locally analyze the color evolution is crucial for pattern description.

Abstract

Strongyloidiasis is caused by a small intestinal nematode with a complex life cycle. In Italy the infection is endemic in rural areas of the Po Valley. The clinical syndrome of S. stercoralis encompasses a broad spectrum of symptoms and signs and, in the immunocompromised host, larvae can migrate to different organs and tissues. Also immune response seems to play a role in the pathogenesis of the disease. We report a case of strongyloidiasis complicated by Gram-negative sepsis and nephrotic syndrome in an immigrant from South America with a normal immune response. Whereas sepsis cleared up quickly, parasitic clearance was obtained only after treatment with ivermectin and nephrotic syndrome was still present three months after the end of treatment

Abstract

Acute crescentic transformation is a rare but well described event in patients with membranous glomerulonephritis. We report our experience with a 66-year-old Caucasian man presented for rapid decline in renal function. For nearly 10 years, he was suffering from hypertension and mixed sensori-motor polyneuropathy. He performed therapy with prednisone and azathioprine, suspended 1 year before presentation. Moreover, six months before presentation, laboratory tests showed a serum creatinine concentration 220 mol/L and a 24-h protein excretion 0,75 g/d. The physical examination showed oedema and severe hypertension; the 24-h protein excretion was 1,1 gr/d and creatinine concentration was 550.8 mol/L; ANCA and other immunological tests were negative. There was no evidence of SLE, infection or malignancy. The kidney biopsy highlighted a membranous GN with crescentic overlap. The patient was treated with steroid and cyclophosphamide. Because there was no sign of improvement after 2 months, we stopped the cyclophosphamide therapy and the patient started chronic haemodialysis treatment. Unlike membranous nephropathy, patients with superimposed crescentic glomerulonephritis appear to have a more aggressive clinical course. The importance of recognizing this group of patients with membranous nephropathy and crescentic glomerulonephritis is that immunosuppressive therapy may ameliorate the progression of renal damage and in some cases early treatment was associated with useful recovery of renal function.

Abstract

Facial landmark detection is a task of interest for facial dysmorphology, an important factor in the diagnosis of genetic conditions. In this paper, we propose a framework for feature points detection from 3D face images. The method is based on 3D Constrained Local Model (CLM) which learns both global variations in the 3D facial scan and local changes around every vertex landmark. Compared to state of the art methods our framework is distinguished by the following novel aspects: 1) It operates on facial surfaces, 2) It allows fusion of shape and color information on the mesh surface, 3) It introduces the use of LBP descriptors on the mesh. We showcase our landmarks detection framework on a set of scans including down syndrome and control cases. We also validate our method through a series of quantitative experiments conducted with the publicly available Bosphorus database.

Abstract

The Erdheim-Chester disease is a rare form of Langherans cells. Since 1987 it is distinguished from other istiocytosis previously identified. The diagnosis of the disease relies on defined radiological (bone imaging) and pathological (histiocytic infiltration) criteria. Bone disease is crucial but systemic manifestations are reported more frequently at onset. Renal involvement is always asymptomatic at onset of disease or in the follow-up. In this review we analyze the reports of the literature; we highlight 3 pathological mechanisms of renal involvement: renal and retroperitoneal infiltration, urinary tract obstruction, renal arteries stenosis. No treatment to date has demonstrated an improvement in survival of patients with EC. Renal involvement is therefore symptomatic (ureteral stenting, percutaneous nephrostomy) or is adopted a wait-and-see attitude.

Abstract

Wegener Granulomatosis is a systemic Anti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Autoantibody-associated Vasculitis, affecting small-to-medium vessels. Clinical presentation with simultaneous involvement of kidney and upper and lower respiratory tract is unusual. We report an instructive case of WG, analyzing clinical course, laboratory, and radiological features, kidney, lung, and larynx histological pictures. Besides renal biopsy, nephrology team performed larynx and lung biopsies because of unusual clinical presentation, computed tomography chest examination, and relevant malignancy risk regarding following immunosuppressant therapy.

Abstract

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a never-ending public health problem. Many studies have investigated the incidence of HCV infection among dialysis patients, but there have only been a few epidemiological studies in renal conservative therapy. We studied 320 subjects with pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease living in Sicily, Italy. The incidence of HCV infection was 6.25%. In Europe, incidence ranges from 0.2% to 3.5%. It appears that the incidence of HCV infection is higher in the studied patient population than in the population as a whole., (Copyright © 2011 International Society for Infectious Diseases.

Abstract

Strongyloidiasis is caused by a small intestinal nematode with a complex life cycle. In Italy the infection is endemic in rural areas of the Po Valley. The clinical syndrome of S. stercoralis encompasses a broad spectrum of symptoms and signs and, in the immunocompromised host, larvae can migrate to different organs and tissues. Also immune response seems to play a role in the pathogenesis of the disease. We report a case of strongyloidiasis complicated by Gram-negative sepsis and nephrotic syndrome in an immigrant from South America with a normal immune response. Whereas sepsis cleared up quickly, parasitic clearance was obtained only after treatment with ivermectin and nephrotic syndrome was still present three months after the end of treatment.
