Management of twin pregnancies: Remaining challenges and unanswered questions
Abstract Several professional societies have published guidelines on twin pregnancies over the past few years. These documents provide recommendations on antenatal surveillance and management of twin pregnancies. At the same time, these guidelines identify several key areas where evidence is limited and additional research is needed.

Analysis of Fatigue-Induced Compensatory Movements in Bicep Curls: Gaining Insights for the Deployment of Wearable Sensors [PDF]
A common challenge in Bicep Curls rehabilitation is muscle compensation, where patients adopt alternative movement patterns when the primary muscle group cannot act due to injury or fatigue, significantly decreasing the effectiveness of rehabilitation efforts.

Abstract Objective The main study objective was to develop a novel shoulder dystocia (SD) prediction score using ultrasound‐based head–perineum distance measured before an operative vaginal delivery (OVD). Methods This retrospective unicentric study (Lille, France) included all cases of OVD of singleton pregnancies from March 2019 to October 2020, with

Heuristic evaluations of back support, shoulder support, hand grip strength support, and sit-stand support exoskeletons using universal design principles [PDF]
Occupational exoskeletons promise to reduce the incidence of musculoskeletal injuries; however, we do not know if their designs allow universal use by all workers. We also do not know how easy the tasks of assembling, donning, doffing, and disassembling exoskeletons are.

Usability of back support, shoulder support and sit-stand passive occupational exoskeletons: A heuristic evaluation of the designs [PDF]
Occupational exoskeletons promise to alleviate musculoskeletal injuries among industrial workers. Knowledge of the usability of the exoskeleton designs with respect to the user device interaction points, and the problems in design features, functions and parts, evaluated and rated using design principles is still limited.
