Background: Wearable technology is widely applied in performance monitoring, an integral part of sports and exercise sciences. The kick movement in soccer exemplifies a sports technique that could benefit from appropriate biomechanics assessment methodologies. However, the accuracy of wearables in quantifying soccer kick mechanics, particularly under field conditions, remains unclear.

This study compares periodontal treatment results in healthy patients and patients with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy by monitoring clinical conditions and C-reactive-protein (CRP) levels.
Methods: Thirty-five participants were allocated to one of two groups: patients with periodontitis (P) (n = 18) and patients with breast cancer and periodontitis (CAN/P) (n = 17).
