Augmented reality glasses as a new tele-rehabilitation tool for home use: patients' perception and expectations.

Materials And Methods: A qualitative approach was employed to track perspectives from a range of patients with chronic lung and/or heart diseases. COPD, IPF and MI outpatients from Denmark and Finland were invited to participate. Data were collected through focus group and semi-structured in-depth interviews.

The correlation of fractional anisotropy parameters with Ki-67 index, and the clinical implication in grading of non-enhancing gliomas and neuronal-glial tumors.

Purpose: To investigate the correlation between the FA parameters and Ki-67 labeling index, and their diagnostic performance in grading supratentorial non-enhancing gliomas and neuronal-glial tumors (GNGT).

Methods: This institutional review board-approved, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability (HIPAA) compliant retrospective study enrolled 35 patients, including 19 with low grade GNGT and 16 with high grade GNGT. The mean FA, maximal FA and mean maximal FA values derived from diffusion tensor imaging were measured.

The preliminary radiogenomics association between MR perfusion imaging parameters and genomic biomarkers, and their predictive performance of overall survival in patients with glioblastoma.

The radiogenomics association of neovascularization is important for overall survival (OS) in glioblastoma patients and remains unclear. The purpose of this study is to assess the association between MR perfusion imaging derived parameters and genomic biomarkers of glioblastoma, and to evaluate their prognostic value. This retrospective study enrolled 41 patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma.

Diffusion tensor imaging in multiple sclerosis at different final outcomes.

Objectives: Methods to evaluate the relative contributions of demyelination vs axonal degeneration over the long-term course of MS are urgently needed. We used magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to estimate degrees of demyelination and axonal degeneration in the corpus callosum (CC) in cases of MS with different final outcomes.

Materials And Methods: We determined DTI measures mean diffusivity (MD), fractional anisotropy (FA), and axial (AD) and radial (RD) diffusivities in the CC of 31 MS patients, of whom 13 presented a secondary progressive course, 11 a non-progressive course, and seven a monophasic course.

Parenthood and Worrying About Climate Change: The Limitations of Previous Approaches.

The present study considers the correlation between parenthood and worry about the consequences of climate change. Two approaches to gauging people's perceptions of the risks of climate change are compared: the classic approach, which measures risk perception, and the emotion-based approach, which measures feelings toward a risk object. The empirical material is based on a questionnaire-based survey of 3,529 people in Sweden, of whom 1,376 answered, giving a response rate of 39%.
