PURPOSE: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), a leading cause of childhood blindness, is diagnosed by clinical ophthalmoscopic examinations or reading retinal images. Plus disease, defined as abnormal tortuosity and dilation of the posterior retinal blo...
Grasping force control is important for multi-fingered robotic hands to stabilize the grasped object. Humans are able to adjust their grasping force and react quickly to instabilities through tactile sensing. However, grasping force control through t...
Recurrent and chronic respiratory tract infections in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients result in progressive lung damage and represent the primary cause of morbidity and mortality. Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is one of the earliest bacteria in CF ...
BACKGROUND: Informal caregivers report substantial burden and depressive symptoms which predict higher rates of patient institutionalization. While caregiver education interventions may reduce caregiver distress and decrease the use of long-term inst...
Clinical and experimental rheumatology

Rheumatologists use classification criteria to separate patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IRD). They change over time, and the concepts of the diseases also change. The paradigm is currently moving as the goal of classification in the fu...
INTRODUCTION: Subjective tinnitus (ST) and hyperacusis (HA) are common auditory symptoms that may become incapacitating in a subgroup of patients who thereby seek medical advice. Both conditions can result from many different mechanisms, and as a con...
