Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, Volume 37, Issue 2, March 2024.Abstract Background Although particular technologies can enhance the quality of life (QoL) of people with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities (we use the term pervasive support needs), their objectives and outcomes are understudied. A systematic literature review was therefore conducted to explore this topic.

A Passive Wireless Smart Washer for Locking Force Monitoring on the Orthopedic Pedicle Screw
Journal of Sensors, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.A pedicle screw is a component for fixation in spine fusion surgery, often for patients with osteoporosis. Spine fusion condition highly depends on whether the pedicle screw is tightly fixed on spine, if not, spine fusion will not work properly. After the surgery, the first 3 months is the most crucial period, and bone healing situation cannot be shown

Respiratory squamous cell carcinomas in vibroacoustic disease.
Revista portuguesa de pneumologia, 2007 In 1987, the autopsy of a vibroacoustic disease (VAD) patient disclosed two tumours: a renal cell carcinoma and a malignant glioma in the brain. Since 1987, malignancy in VAD patients has been under close surveillance. To date, in a universe of 945 individuals, there are 46 cases of malignancies, of which 11 are multiple. Of the 11 cases of respiratory
