Assistive Technology for Cognition (ATC) can help people to compensate for cognitive impairments following Acquired Brain Injury (ABI). Examples include mainstream devices such as smartphones, watches and environmental controls, and bespoke devices such as medication devices or specific educational software. Evidence suggests that professional support is key to people successfully adopting ATC, yet low confidence amongst clinicians and perceptions about barriers are often cited as reasons for not recommending ATC in practice...

The back support exoskeletons have garnered significant attention to alleviate musculoskeletal injuries, prevalent in industrial settings. In this paper, we propose AeBS, a quasi-passive back-support exoskeleton developed to provide variable assistive torque across the entire range of hip joint motion, for tasks with frequent load changes. AeBS can adjust the assistive torque levels while minimizing energy for the torque variation without constraining the range of motion of the hip joint. To match the requisite assistance levels for back support, a compact variable gravity compensation module with reinforced elastic elements is applied to AeBS...

Motor learning is a prominent and extensively studied subject in rehabilitation following various types of neurological disorders. Motor repair and rehabilitation often extend over months and years post-injury with a slow pace of recovery, particularly affecting the fine movements of the distal extremities. This extended period can diminish the motivation and persistence of patients, a facet that has historically been overlooked in motor learning until recent years. Reward, including monetary compensation, social praise, video gaming, music, and virtual reality, is currently garnering heightened attention for its potential to enhance motor motivation and improve function...

UNLABELLED: Laparoscopic complete mesocolic excision with central vessel ligation has been widely accepted for its oncological benefits in colon cancer surgery. However, laparoscopic right hemicolectomy involves a risk for vascular injury during dissection around the surgical trunk. This technical difficulty has been attributed to the limited movement of conventional laparoscopic forceps. Although robotic devices can overcome the restricted motion of laparoscopic devices, they are not yet widely used...

Well conducted clinical trials are the mainstay for generating evidence on preferred treatments. In order to adequately protect the interests of the trial participants, the Central Licensing Authority of India has formulated guidelines to determine the quantum of compensation in cases of regulatory clinical trial related injury or death. However, these guidelines do not address the nuances of trials recruiting children aged under 16 years, within which, neonates are the most vulnerable population. Thus, there is a need for addressing this lacuna in the current guidelines...

Kidney tubules use fatty acid oxidation (FAO) to support their high energetic requirements. Carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A (CPT1A) is the rate-limiting enzyme for FAO, and it is necessary to transport long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria. To define the role of tubular CPT1A in aging and injury, we generated mice with tubule-specific deletion of Cpt1a (Cpt1aCKO mice), and the mice were either aged for 2 years or injured by aristolochic acid or unilateral ureteral obstruction. Surprisingly, Cpt1aCKO mice had no significant differences in kidney function or fibrosis compared with wild-type mice after aging or chronic injury...

INTRODUCTION: Angiotensin receptor blockers are widely used antihypertensive drugs in South Korea. In 2021, the Korea Ministry of Food and Drug Safety acknowledged the need for national compensation for a drug-induced liver injury (DILI) after azilsartan use. However, little is known regarding the association between angiotensin receptor blockers and DILI. OBJECTIVE: We conducted a retrospective cohort study in incident users of angiotensin receptor blockers from a common data model database (1 January, 2017-31 December, 2021) to compare the risk of DILI among specific angiotensin receptor blockers against valsartan...

BACKGROUND: Kinematic studies suggest that injury of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) leads to long-lasting movement deficits or compensations to unload the injured knee. This study evaluated lower body kinematics during squats in individuals who suffered unilateral ACL-injury more than 20 years ago. METHOD: Using motion capture, we compared maximum squat depth, time to complete the squat task, detailed kinematics, estimated kinetic-chain joint moments 0- 80° knee flexion, and weight distribution between legs across three groups with (ACLR , n = 27) and without ACL-reconstructive surgery (ACLPT , physiotherapy only, n = 28), and age-matched non-injured asymptomatic Controls (n = 31, average age across groups 47 years)...

Visual field loss and visuospatial neglect are frequent consequences of cerebral stroke. They often have a strong impact on independence in many daily activities. Rehabilitation aiming to decrease these disabilities is therefore important, and several techniques have been proposed to foster awareness, compensation, or restitution of the impaired visual field. We here describe a rehabilitation intervention using adapted boxing therapy that was part of a pluridisciplinary intervention tailored for a particular case...

Hemochromatosis represents clinically one of the most important genetic storage diseases of the liver caused by iron overload, which is to be differentiated from hepatic iron overload due to excessive iron release from erythrocytes in patients with genetic hemolytic disorders. This disorder is under recent mechanistic discussion regarding ferroptosis, reactive oxygen species (ROS), the gut microbiome, and alcohol abuse as a risk factor, which are all topics of this review article. Triggered by released intracellular free iron from ferritin via the autophagic process of ferritinophagy, ferroptosis is involved in hemochromatosis as a specific form of iron-dependent regulated cell death...

BACKGROUND: Characterization of motor deficits after brain injury is important for rehabilitation personalization. While studies reported abnormalities in the kinematics of paretic and non-paretic elbow extension for patients with brain injuries, kinematic analysis is not sufficient to explore how patients deal with musculoskeletal redundancy and the energetic aspect of movement execution. Conversely, interarticular coordination and movement kinetics can reflect patients' motor strategies...

The lower respiratory tract is a hierarchical network of compliant tubular structures that are made from extracellular matrix proteins with a wall lined by an epithelium. While microfluidic airway-on-a-chip models incorporate the effects of shear and stretch on the epithelium, week-long air-liquid-interface culture at physiological shear stresses, the circular cross-section, and compliance of native airway walls have yet to be recapitulated. To overcome these limitations, a collagen tube-based airway model is presented...
