The recycling of photovoltaic modules has been a topic of increasing interest over the last years. At industrial scale, delamination of the module structure, which represents the first step in the recycling process, is currently achieved by multi-stage crushing. However, the quality of the outputs obtained through subsequent processing is low and offers room for improvement.

Purpose: This longitudinal study investigated the effects of a multidisciplinary rehabilitation programme on postural stability in patients with low back pain. While the consequences of such rehabilitation programme have been described for pain, mobility, strength, and functional disability, the effects on postural stability have not been examined so far.

Methods: Thirty-four patients suffering from chronic low back pain were included to participate in a multidisciplinary rehabilitation programme.

Purpose: This longitudinal study investigated long-term effects of a multidisciplinary rehabilitation program consisting of resistance and sensorimotor training, patient education, and stress management over 6 months in patients with chronic low back pain.

Methods: Ninety-six patients with chronic recurrent low back pain performed a multidisciplinary rehabilitation program. We assessed pain-free lumbar spine range of motion (ROM), strength of the lumbar extensor muscles, and pain by visual analog scale (VAS).

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the timing of histological diagnosis of glomerulonephritis (GN) in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its impact on patient outcomes.
  • Early diagnosis at stages 1 and 2 of CKD is linked to better clinical outcomes, including fewer occurrences of death, dialysis, or disease progression.
  • The findings suggest that timely histological diagnosis allows for early treatment, improving the chances of preserving kidney function.
