The world is in the grip of the COVID-19 pandemic. Public health measures that can reduce the risk of infection and death in addition to quarantines are desperately needed. This article reviews the roles of vitamin D in reducing the risk of respiratory tract infections, knowledge about the epidemiology of influenza and COVID-19, and how vitamin D…[Read more]

RESULTS Thirty-five patients with type II A, B, and C fractures (classification according to Al-Qattan) comprised our study sample. Twelve patients had undergone manipulation and reduction. Average radiological follow-up was 4.3 months (range, 0.7-86 months; median, 1.2 months; SD, 14.7). These fractures treated nonsurgically did not displace as…[Read more]

In c-DMARD users (n = 53), serially monitored levels of serum VEGF, IL-6, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and C-reactive protein (CRP) all decreased in good and moderate responders but not in nonresponders. In b-DMARD users (n = 49), only serum VEGF well represented the treatment response, while CRP nonspecifically decreased irrespective of…[Read more]

Participants with lower baseline motor function received greater benefits from glove assistance. This work demonstrates the effectiveness of a user-controlled textile-based soft robotic glove to improve activity of daily living abilities in individuals with hand impairments resulting from spinal cord injury.Wearable grip sensing shows potential…[Read more]
