Decoding Complex Erosion Responses for the Mitigation of Coastal Rockfall Hazards Using Repeat Terrestrial LiDAR by Matthew Westoby, Michael Lim, Michelle Hogg, Lesley Dunlop, Matthew Pound, Mateusz Strzelecki, John Woodward

“…We use high-resolution, monthly terrestrial light detection and ranging (LiDAR) surveys over a 2 year monitoring period to quantify rockfall patterns across a 0.6 km-long (15.3 × 10³ m²) section of a limestone rock cliff on the northeast coast of England, where uncertainty in rates of change threaten the effective planning and operational management of a key coastal cliff top road. Internal system controls, such as cliff material characteristics and foreshore geometry, dictate rockfall characteristics and background patterns of activity and demonstrate that layer-specific analyses of rockfall inventories and sequencing patterns are essential to better understand the timing and nature of rockfall risks. …”

Effect of Surgical Release of Entrapped Peripheral Nerves in Sensorimotor Diabetic Neuropathy on Pain and Sensory Dysfunction—Study Protocol of a Prospective, Controlled Clinical T... by Simeon C. Daeschler, Anna Pennekamp, Dimitrios Tsilingiris, Catalina Bursacovschi, Martin Aman, Amr Eisa, Arne Boecker, Felix Klimitz, Annette Stolle, Stefan Kopf, Daniel Schwarz, Martin Bendszus, Ulrich Kneser, Zoltan Kender, Julia Szendroedi, Leila Harhaus

“…Effect size on symptoms including pain intensity, light touch threshold, static and moving two-point discrimination, target muscle force, and nerve conduction velocity will be quantified 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively, and compared (1) to the preoperative values and (2) to the contralateral lower extremity that continues non-operative management. Clinical significance: Targeted surgical release may alleviate mechanical strain on entrapped lower extremity nerves and thereby potentially improve pain and sensory dysfunction in a subset of patients suffering from diabetic neuropathy. …”
