Automated Curb Recognition and Negotiation for Robotic Wheelchairs.

Common electric powered wheelchairs cannot safely negotiate architectural barriers (i.e., curbs) which could injure the user and damage the wheelchair. Robotic wheelchairs have been developed to address this issue; however, proper alignment performed by the user is needed prior to negotiating curbs. Users with physical and/or sensory impairments may find it challenging to negotiate such barriers. ...

Efficacy of Platelet-Rich Plasma as an Adjuvant Therapy to Endoscopic Sinus Surgery in Anosmia Patients with Sinonasal Polyposis: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial.

Treatment of patients with anosmia is a major therapeutic challenge. The present study evaluated the efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the treatment of anosmia in patients with sinonasal polyposis. In the present clinical trial, atotal of 48 patients with sinonasal polyposis with theIran Smell Identification Test (I-SIT) score of <6 who completed the medical treatment and were observed 3 ...
