Monitoring a Realistic Virtual Hand using a Passive Haptic Device to Interact with Virtual Worlds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We present a prototype of a hands-on immersive peripheral device for controlling a virtual hand with high dexterity. This prototype is as easy as a mouse to use and allows the control of a high number of degrees of freedom (dofs) with tactile feedback.

Clinical Insights Into Hypercalcemia of Malignancy in Childhood

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hypercalcemia of malignancy (HCM) is a rare but life‐threatening metabolic emergency in children that occurs in less than 1% of pediatric cancer cases, with a reported incidence ranging from 0.4% to 1.0% across different studies. While it is observed in 10%–20% of adult malignancies, pediatric HCM remains relatively uncommon.

Sensory feedback and the impaired motor system [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Medical Systems, 1990
A group design study was carried out using regulated feedback to enhance functional recovery in stroke patients. Patients trained on three computerized tasks aimed at improving guided limb motion in the hemiplegic arm. The therapeutic group was able to make use of the sensory feedback to outperform the control group in each of the three tasks.

‘They Need to Hear You Say It’: Healthcare Professionals’ Perspectives on Barriers and Enablers to End‐of‐Life Discussions With Adolescents and Young Adults With Cancer

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT End‐of‐life conversations with adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer rarely occur without the guidance of healthcare professionals. As a part of the ‘Difficult Discussions’ study, focused on palliative care and advance care planning discussions with AYAs with cancer, we investigated the factors that healthcare professionals identify ...

Midfrontal theta transcranial alternating current stimulation modulates behavioural adjustment after error execution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Cognitive control during conflict monitoring, error processing, and post-error adjustment appear to be associated with the occurrence of midfrontal theta (MFϴ).

Ideas on sensory feedback in hand prostheses [PDF]

open access: yesProsthetics & Orthotics International, 1979
Development of systems for sensory feedback in hand prostheses has not been as successful as that of modern prosthesis control systems. The discrepancy is partly caused by an insufficient analysis of the concept of sensory feedback and by neglect of knowledge on the physiology of kinesthesis.

Dietary Protein Intake and Peritoneal Protein Losses in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients lose protein in their waste dialysate, potentially increasing their risk for malnutrition. We wished to determine whether there was any association between losses and dietary protein intake (DPI). Methods DPI was assessed from 24‐h dietary recall using Nutrics software.

Sensory Feedback in Upper Limb Prostheses [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Latvian Academy of Sciences. Section B. Natural, Exact, and Applied Sciences., 2020
Abstract Loss of an arm is a devastating condition that can cross all socioeconomic groups. A major step forward in rehabilitation of amputees has been the development of myoelectric prostheses. Current robotic arms allow voluntary movements by using residual muscle contraction.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.
