Feasibility of customized 3D-printed assistive technology within an existing multidisciplinary amyotrophic lateral sclerosis clinic.

Purpose: Three-dimensional (3 D) printing of assistive technology (AT) is an emerging intervention in rehabilitation sciences. Existing research primarily considers narrow applications of this technology with most studies focussing on a single type of assistive device. Individuals with amyotrophic lateral scleroses (ALS) have high abandonment rates of prefabricated AT.

The Association between Heavy Episodic Drinking and Gender Orientation among U.S. College Students: The Significance of Masculinity.

Background: Heavy episodic drinking (HED) remains a public health concern among college students. Sex differences are routinely reported in the literature although some evidence of convergence in drinking patterns has been observed. The association between sex and gender-orientation in HED remains unclear because sex and gender are often conflated.

Nonmedical use of prescription drugs in emerging adulthood: differentiating sex from gender.

Male-female variations in health-behavior continue to be of national and international significance with men generally being more likely to be engaged in behaviors that enhance risk across an array of preventable diseases and injuries as well as premature deaths. The literature has identified non-medical use of prescription drugs (NMUPD) as a developing and particularly dangerous substance use behavior among college students. The literature has reported sex differences (male; female) in NMUPD but has yet to explain how gender-orientation (e.
