Effectiveness of Telerehabilitation Programs in Elderly with Hip or Knee Arthroplasty: A Systematic Review.

Lower limb osteoarthritis (OA) often generates musculoskeletal pain causing functional impairment and decreasing mobility, autonomy, and quality of life. Patients with OA are commonly prescribed specific care for total hip arthroplasty or total knee arthroplasty (THA or TKA), when patients present symptoms that are refractory to nondrug treatments. Currently, when patients are discharged from orthopedic surgery, they are either referred to a rehabilitation department, or sent directly home with assistance such as remote monitoring by teleconsultation or a mobile application.

Art and Environmental Struggle Curating an Exhibition About Place-Rooted Ecological Knowledge.

Inspired by ecological calendars, the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art organized the exhibition to coincide with the international conference , held at Cornell University in October 2021. The exhibition emphasized Indigenous ways of knowing and deployed the works of lesser-known artists from around the world to build greater understanding of and empathy for their communities' often overlooked histories and perspectives.

Providing different levels of accuracy about the reliability of automation to a human operator: impact on human performance.

Previous research has suggested that supervising automation can lead to a decrease in human performance, especially when automation is not totally reliable. Providing context-related information about reliability can help operators to better adjust their behaviour in a human-automation interaction context. However, previous studies have not specified the level of accuracy that this information should provide to the human operator.

OpenMATB: A Multi-Attribute Task Battery promoting task customization, software extensibility and experiment replicability.

OpenMATB is an open-source variant of the Multi-Attribute Task Battery (MATB) and is available under a free software license. MATB consists of a set of tasks representative of those performed in aircraft piloting. It is used, in particular, to study the effect of automation on decision-making, mental workload, and vigilance.

Influence of human-machine interactions and task demand on automation selection and use.

A seminal work by Sheridan and Verplank depicted 10 levels of automation, ranging from no automation to an automation that acts completely autonomously without human support. These levels of automation were later complemented with a four-stage model of human information processing. Next, human-machine cooperation centred models and associated cooperation modes were introduced.

[The concept of damage control in pediatrics: everything a physician needs to know in practice].

The concept of damage control in pediatrics: everything a physician needs to know in practice. After the terrorist attacks in France and the rest of the world, children may be potential targets and be part of the victims. In order to prepare for these situations of «war medicine» our medical training is inadequate.

Anxiety disorders are associated with early onset of heroin use and rapid transition to dependence in methadone maintained patients.

Early onset of heroin use is a severity marker of heroin use disorder. We studied the interaction between early onset and rapid transition to heroin dependence recorded with retrospective interviews in 213 patients with severe heroin dependence and history of methadone maintenance treatment. General linear models were used to identify independent factors associated with early onset, factors associated with rapid transition to dependence, and a multivariate model was used to study the interaction of those two dimensions.

Variability in the diagnostic performance of a bedside rapid diagnostic influenza test over four epidemic seasons in a pediatric emergency department.

We wanted to determine the diagnostic performance of a rapid influenza diagnostic test (RIDT) used bedside in a pediatric emergency department (PED). This was a prospective study over four consecutive winters (2009-2013), comparing the results of a RIDT (QuickVue®) with RT-PCR in children admitted to a PED. Among the 764 children included, we did not observe any significant differences in the diagnostic performance of RIDT except during the H1N1 pandemic.

Impact of rapid influenza diagnostic test on physician estimation of viral infection probability in paediatric emergency department during epidemic period.

Background: The clinical diagnosis of influenza is difficult in the younger children.

Objectives: Evaluate the impact of rapid influenza diagnostic test (RIDT) on clinicians' estimation of the clinical probability of influenza in children.

Study Design: This prospective study included children aged from 1 month to 5 years who were admitted in a university paediatric emergency department during an influenza epidemic period and presented with fever without source.

Hepatitis C among people who inject drugs in Tbilisi, Georgia: an urgent need for prevention and treatment.

Background: Drug use and hepatitis C virus (HCV) are both major public health issues in Georgia. However, the access to HCV prevention and care is still very limited in the country. This study was conducted to examine the HCV epidemic among people who inject drugs (PWID) in Tbilisi and to assess the treatment needs of this most-at-risk population.

[3 cases of tetradontidae poisoning observed in France].

The authors report 3 cases of food poisoning, one of them leading to a swift death, which they were able to observe on 1st January 1978 in the Drôme (France). They explain how burbot was the suspected food responsible for the auto-intoxication and how the X ray examination of the vertebrae of this fish allowed them to support the diagnosis of "tetrodonic" poisoning; the inquest did not allow to state precisely where the fish was caught. With regard to these French cases the authors point out that this type of pathology is made possible by the increasing importing of fish from tropical regions, in powder form or frozen products.
