Article Synopsis
- Successful collaboration between complementary and integrative health (CIH) and research-intensive (R1) institutions in the U.S. has led to federally funded research, educational programs, and faculty development.
- A cross-sectional survey targeted researchers involved in CIH and R1 partnerships, with findings based on 26 unique entries, revealing that 81% were in senior leadership roles across various CIH disciplines.
- While collaborations offer numerous benefits and enhance CIH research productivity, they also face challenges, emphasizing the importance of supportive funding mechanisms for their success.
Article Synopsis
- * To address this, a sexual health clinic has developed a self-testing technology (STT) that allows individuals to test for chlamydia and gonorrhea without needing to meet with a healthcare provider in person.
- * A study evaluated the effectiveness and user experience of this STT, finding it more appealing and convenient than traditional testing, as it provided an easy and flexible solution for patients.
Article Synopsis
- - Children with cerebral palsy often experience weak ankle muscles and reduced ankle movement, leading to limitations in their activities and quality of life; robotic ankle training was tested for its benefits in these areas.
- - In a study, five children aged 4 to 11 underwent six weeks of training using the Anklebot device, with muscle strength, range of motion, and quality of life being measured at different times.
- - Results showed significant improvements in muscle strength and range of motion, along with a better quality of life score, but changes in muscle architecture were not significant; however, more research is needed due to the small sample size.
