A scoping review of health literacy in rare disorders: key issues and research directions.

Background: The ability to find, understand, appraise and utilise health information is crucial among individuals living with rare disorders. The aim of this study was to give a comprehensive overview of the literature on health literacy in adult persons with rare disorders.

Methods: We applied a scoping review methodology and performed a systematic search in 2021 in bibliographic databases.

Group-based patient education via videoconference: A scoping review.

Objectives: To summarize recent evidence on the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of videoconference (VC) group-based patient and caregiver education.

Methods: Systematic searches of the literature were conducted. Data was extracted on the characteristics of the studies and interventions and on the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of the interventions.

Droplet applicator module for reproducible and controlled endoscopic laryngeal adductor reflex stimulation.

This work presents a droplet applicator module to generate stable droplets with different muzzle energies for the reproducible endoscopic stimulation of the laryngeal adductor reflex (LAR). The LAR is a protective reflex of the human larynx; an abnormal LAR performance may cause aspiration pneumonia. A pathological LAR can be detected by evaluating its onset latency.

Inverse optimal control with time-varying objectives: application to human jumping movement analysis.

Analysis of complex human movements can provide valuable insights for movement rehabilitation, sports training, humanoid robot design and control, and human-robot interaction. To accomplish complex movement, the central nervous system must coordinate the musculo-skeletal system to achieve task and internal (e.g.

Feasibility and Acceptability of an Interactive Mental Well-Being Intervention for People With Intellectual Disabilities: Pilot Mixed Methods Study.

Background: The availability of both digital and traditional mental well-being interventions is rising, but these interventions typically do not consider people with intellectual disabilities as potential users.

Objective: The study aimed to explore the acceptability and feasibility of a new digital intervention, developed with and for people with intellectual disabilities, to improve their subjective well-being.

Methods: Using a single-group pre-post design, participants with intellectual disabilities and their caregivers completed the 4-week intervention.
