Quantifying skin microvascular function responses to distinct forms of heat stress in humans using optical coherence tomography

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Optical coherence tomography (OCT) enables visualization and quantification of the cutaneous microvasculature, yet no study has compared responses to distinct forms of heating in humans. We hypothesized that local skin heating (LH) would evoke larger responses in microvascular diameter, velocity, flow and density than passive whole‐body ...

Therapeutic Exercise Protocol During Hospitalization in Pediatric Oncohematological Patients: Randomized Clinical Trial

open access: yesPhysiotherapy Research International, Volume 31, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Leukemias, lymphomas, and central nervous system tumors are among the most common pediatric cancers and may lead to motor deficits, impaired balance, reduced muscle strength, fatigue, and decreased functional capacity. Early physiotherapy during hospitalization may help prevent inactivity and support functional preservation in this ...

The stethoscope as metaphor

open access: yesCleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine, 2012
The humanities—and bedside skills—ought to be a fundamental part of medical education. The alternative is a future full of technicians with tricorders, but sorely lacking in healers.

Enhancing Chemical Engineering Education: Constructive Alignment and Augmented Reality in Experimental Fluid Mechanics

open access: yesProceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Volume 26, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Wind tunnel experiments are a key element of fluid mechanics education, enabling students to connect theoretical knowledge with practical observations. Despite their pedagogical value, traditional wind tunnel laboratories often lack outcome orientation, rely on prescriptive procedures, and provide limited opportunities for conceptual ...

AN IMPROVED STETHOSCOPE. [PDF]

open access: yesJAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1898
In the stethoscope here illustrated an attempt has been made to combine the desirable features of a number now in use. The advantages claimed are increased clearness and distinctness of sounds transmitted; its lightness and the ease by which the whole instrument can be made aseptic.

Enhancing Pediatric Asthma Homecare Management: The Potential of Deep Learning Associated with Spirometry-Labelled Data

open access: yesApplied Sciences
A critical factor contributing to the burden of childhood asthma is the lack of effective self-management in homecare settings. Artificial intelligence (AI) and lung sound monitoring could help address this gap. Yet, existing AI-driven auscultation tools

Evaluation of a Wearable Device for Cardiorespiratory Monitoring in Healthy Anaesthetised Cats

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
The OSS was evaluated for heart rate and peripheral oxygen saturation monitoring in healthy anaesthetised cats. A very strong correlation was observed between OSS and a veterinary reference monitor for heart rate measurements and peripheral oxygen saturation values were clinically equivalent within predefined equivalence limits.
