- The systematic review investigates the use of virtual reality (VR) for rehabilitation in individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), analyzing the impact on rehabilitation outcomes and design considerations for VR interventions.
- VR offers controlled, safe, and adaptable environments that can enhance various rehabilitation goals, making it vital to understand its applications and effectiveness more comprehensively.
- The review synthesizes findings from 27 studies, highlighting that VR interventions show promise in improving physical, cognitive, emotional, and functional independence for people with IDD, while also providing recommendations for creating effective and safe VR therapeutic environments.
Introduction: Adenoma per colonoscopy (APC) has recently been proposed as a quality measure for colonoscopy. We evaluated the impact of a novel artificial intelligence (AI) system, compared with standard high-definition colonoscopy, for APC measurement.
Methods: This was a US-based, multicenter, prospective randomized trial examining a novel AI detection system (EW10-EC02) that enables a real-time colorectal polyp detection enabled with the colonoscope (CAD-EYE).
Background And Aims: Aldafermin, an engineered analog of the human hormone FGF19, improves liver histology in patients with noncirrhotic NASH; however, its efficacy and safety in compensated cirrhosis is unknown. No drug has yet to demonstrate benefit in the compensated NASH population.
Approach And Results: In this multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 2b trial, 160 patients with compensated NASH cirrhosis were randomized to aldafermin 0.
Introduction: The number of people experiencing homelessness (PEH) is increasing worldwide. Systematic reviews show high levels of multimorbidity and mortality. Integrated health and social care outreach interventions may improve outcomes.
