OBJECTIVE: The study of gait in Parkinson's disease is important because it can provide insights into the complex neural system and physiological behaviors of the disease, of which understanding can help improve treatment and lead to effective develo...
ABSTRACTSocially assistive robots have successfully been trialed in residential care facilities (RCFs) for older adults. These robots may have potential for younger adults (i.e. under 65 years old) who also live in RCFs. However, it is important to i...
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Clinical benefits of early high-dose statin therapy after acute coronary syndromes are widely known; however, there is poor evidence on the specific setting of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and dose-dependent effects ...
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Renal biopsy is the gold standard to determine the pathologic type of primary nephrotic syndrome, which is critical for diagnosis, choice of treatment and evaluation of prognosis. However, in some cases, renal biopsy cannot be perfor...
BACKGROUND: Severe immune dysregulation such as seen in autoimmune (AI) disease is known to act as a significant risk factor for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). However, little is known about the demographics or clinical outcomes of DLBCL that...
