Three-Dimensional Printed Laryngoscopes as Allies Against COVID-19.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused an overload on the health care system on a global scale. Because the disease affects the respiratory system, patients may require ventilator equipment for breathing, and consequently, numerous tracheal intubations have been performed. The video laryngoscope is a medical device that aids this procedure.

Barefoot walking changed relative timing during the support phase but not ground reaction forces in children when compared to different footwear conditions.

Background: There is a paucity of available biomechanical kinetic data comparing shod and barefoot conditions in children.

Research Question: Do children wearing footwear have comparable gait velocity, ground reaction forces (GRF), spatiotemporal parameters, propulsive and braking impulses when compared to children walking barefoot?

Methods: Seventy-five children were divided into four groups: Group 1 females aged 4-9 years old (n = 29). Group 2 females aged 3-5 years old (n = 16).
