Toward Natural Limb Function: A New Era in Prosthetic Innovation
Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.The past decade has witnessed groundbreaking clinical implementation of neuroprosthetic limbs driven by signals from peripheral targets (eg, nerves and muscle) and the brain to restore limb function for individuals with limb loss or impairment. In this review, we highlight recent key clinical trials in peripheral neuroprosthetic interfaces directly ...

Fracture of the tibial baseplate in bicompartmental knee arthroplasty [PDF]
, 2015 Introduction. Bicompartmental knee arthroplasty (BKA) addresses combined medial and patellofemoral compartment osteoarthritis, which is relatively common, and has been proposed as a bridge between unicompartmental and total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Sick of Robots—Heterogeneous Effects of Industrial Robots on Sickness Absence
Health Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper studies how the introduction of industrial robots affects sickness absence among workers in the manufacturing sector in Norway. We use data on the imports of industrial robots at the firm level, combined with employee‐firm linked register data, to investigate the impact of robotization on the duration of sick leave (SL).
