Myoelectric motor execution and sensory training to treat chronic pain and paralysis in a replanted arm: a case study.

Background: Following upper limb amputation, surgeries such as arm transplantation or replantation might be an option to restore function. After such surgeries, rehabilitation of the arm is needed. However, conventional rehabilitation is dependent on some volitional movement of the arm.

Listen to me, I really am sick! Patient and family narratives of clinical deterioration before and during rapid response system intervention.

Aim: To explore patient and family narratives about their recognition and response to clinical deterioration and their interactions with clinicians prior to and during Medical Emergency Team (MET) activations in hospital.

Background: Research on clinical deterioration has mostly focused on clinicians' roles. Although patients and families can identify subtle cues of early deterioration, little research has focused on their experience of recognising, speaking up and communicating with clinicians during this period of instability.

The origin of intraluminal pressure waves in gastrointestinal tract.

The gastrointestinal (GI) peristalsis is an involuntary wave-like contraction of the GI wall that helps to propagate food along the tract. Many GI diseases, e.g.

Comparing finite viscoelastic constitutive relations and variational principles in modeling gastrointestinal soft tissue deformation.

The mechanical attributes of soft tissues within the gastrointestinal (GI) tract are crucial for the effective operation of the GI system, and alterations in these properties may play a role in motility-related disorders. Various constitutive modeling approaches have been suggested to comprehend the response of soft tissues to diverse loading conditions. Among these, hyperelastic constitutive models based on finite elasticity have gained popularity.
