T2 relaxation reveals spatial collagen architecture in articular cartilage: A comparative quantitative MRI and polarized light microscopic study

MT Nieminen, J Rieppo, J Töyräs… - … in Medicine: An …, 2001 - Wiley Online Library
It has been suggested that orientational changes in the collagen network of articular
cartilage account for the depthwise T 2 anisotropy of MRI through the magic angle effect. To …

Fibril reinforced poroelastic model predicts specifically mechanical behavior of normal, proteoglycan depleted and collagen degraded articular cartilage

RK Korhonen, MS Laasanen, J Töyräs… - Journal of …, 2003 - Elsevier
Degradation of collagen network and proteoglycan (PG) macromolecules are signs of articular
cartilage degeneration. These changes impair cartilage mechanical function. Effects of …

Quantitative MR microscopy of enzymatically degraded articular cartilage

MT Nieminen, J Töyräs, J Rieppo… - … in Medicine: An …, 2000 - Wiley Online Library
Structural changes in bovine patellar articular cartilage, induced by component selective
enzymatic treatments, were investigated by measuring tissue T 2 relaxation at 9.4 T. This MRI …

Collagen network primarily controls Poisson's ratio of bovine articular cartilage in compression

…, RK Korhonen, P Julkunen, J Töyräs… - Journal of …, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
The equilibrium Young's modulus of articular cartilage is known to be primarily determined
by proteoglycans (PGs). However, the relation between the Poisson's ratio and the …

Spatial assessment of articular cartilage proteoglycans with Gd‐DTPA‐enhanced T1 imaging

…, J Rieppo, J Silvennoinen, J Töyräs… - … in Medicine: An …, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
In Gd‐DTPA‐enhanced T 1 imaging of articular cartilage, the MRI contrast agent with two
negative charges is understood to accumulate in tissue inversely to the negative charge of …

Prediction of biomechanical properties of articular cartilage with quantitative magnetic resonance imaging

MT Nieminen, J Töyräs, MS Laasanen… - Journal of …, 2004 - Elsevier
Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most potential non-invasive means
for revealing the structure, composition and pathology of articular cartilage. Here we …

Deep learning enables sleep staging from photoplethysmogram for patients with suspected sleep apnea

…, A Leino, S Nikkonen, IO Afara, S Myllymaa, J Töyräs… - Sleep, 2020 - academic.oup.com
Study Objectives Accurate identification of sleep stages is essential in the diagnosis of
sleep disorders (eg obstructive sleep apnea [OSA]) but relies on labor-intensive …

Structure-function relationships in enzymatically modified articular cartilage

J Rieppo, J Töyräs, MT Nieminen, V Kovanen… - Cells Tissues …, 2003 - karger.com
The present study is aimed at revealing structure-function relationships of bovine patellar
articular cartilage. Collagenase, chondroitinase ABC and elastase were used for controlled …

Accurate deep learning-based sleep staging in a clinical population with suspected obstructive sleep apnea

…, B Duce, IO Afara, S Myllymaa, J Töyräs… - IEEE journal of …, 2019 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
The identification of sleep stages is essential in the diagnostics of sleep disorders, among
which obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is one of the most prevalent. However, manual scoring …

Novel parameters indicate significant differences in severity of obstructive sleep apnea with patients having similar apnea–hypopnea index

…, P Tiihonen, P Julkunen, E Mervaala, J Töyräs - Medical & biological …, 2013 - Springer
Sleep apnea–hypopnea syndrome (SAHS) causes impairment of daytime functions and
increases risk of cardiovascular diseases. Apnea–hypopnea index (AHI), currently used for the …
