Identifying alterations in hand movement coordination from chronic stroke survivors using a wearable high-density EMG sleeve.

Non-invasive, high-density electromyography (HD-EMG) has emerged as a useful tool to collect a range of neurophysiological motor information. Recent studies have demonstrated changes in EMG features that occur after stroke, which correlate with functional ability, highlighting their potential use as biomarkers. However, previous studies have largely explored these EMG features in isolation with individual electrodes to assess gross movements, limiting their potential clinical utility.

Hydatid cyst of the liver causing inferior vena caval obstruction.

Hydatid disease (cystic echinococcosis) is a zoonotic infection caused by larval forms of the tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus. Most common site for cysts is liver and hepatic hydatidosis has a diverse clinical spectrum. Mostly they remain asymptomatic and uncomplicated.

Readability assessment of concussion and traumatic brain injury publications by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Health literacy is associated with a person's capacity to find, access, contextualize, and understand information needed for health care-related decisions. The level of health literacy thus has an influence on an individual's health status. It can be argued that low health literacy is associated with poor health status.

Distraction: an assessment of smartphone usage in health care work settings.

Smartphone use in health care work settings presents both opportunities and challenges. The benefits could be severely undermined if abuse and overuse are not kept in check. This practice-focused research paper examines the current panorama of health software applications.
