OBJECTIVE: Fibroblast growth factor (FGF)21 is promptly induced by short fasting in animal models to regulate glucose and fat metabolism. Data on FGF21 in humans are inconsistent and FGF21 has not yet been investigated in old patients with cachexia, ...
To explore the acceptability of telepresence robots in dementia care from the perspectives of people with dementia, family carers, and health professionals/trainees, and investigate the utility of a social presence assessment tool, the Modified-Temp...
OBJECTIVE: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a well-established treatment for essential tremor, but may not be an optimal therapy, as it is always on, regardless of symptoms. A closed-loop (CL) DBS, which uses a biosignal to determine when stimulation ...
