Ocular trauma score at the initial evaluation of ocular trauma.

Cirugia y cirujanos, 2010
The system for classifying mechanical injuries of the eye can identify the status of an injured eye at the trauma room, but it has no prognostic value. The ocular trauma score (OTS) estimates the 6-month visual prognosis, but some of its variables require evaluation by an ophthalmologist.

Texoskeletons: Developing the Fundamental Technologies for Creating Intelligent Soft Robotic Clothing With Integrated 1D Sensors and Actuators

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Traditional wearable exoskeletons rely on rigid structures, which limit comfort, flexibility, and everyday usability. This work introduces the fundamental technologies to create the first soft, lightweight, intelligent textile‐based exoskeletons (Texoskeletons) built using 1D sensors and actuators.
