Article Synopsis
  • Contractures, which are common after a stroke and can limit joint movement and cause additional problems, may be managed through assistive technologies to facilitate recovery and rehabilitation.
  • The study aimed to evaluate the effects of various assistive devices on managing contractures in stroke patients by reviewing randomized controlled trials.
  • Seven studies were included in the review, with five undergoing meta-analysis, focusing primarily on the effectiveness of assistive technology compared to standard therapy, showing beneficial outcomes for joint range of motion.

Multi-modal medical image (MI) fusion assists in generating collaboration images collecting complement features through the distinct images of several conditions. The images help physicians to diagnose disease accurately. Hence, this research proposes a novel multi-modal MI fusion modal named guided filter-based interactive multi-scale and multi-modal transformer (Trans-IMSM) fusion approach to develop high-quality computed tomography-magnetic resonance imaging (CT-MRI) fused images for brain tumor detection.

Three-dimensional polymeric networks called hydrogels have drawn a lot of interest in a variety of biomedical applications because of their distinctive qualities, like high water content and biocompatibility. Hydrogels can be strengthened mechanically and become more stable via cross-linking. In this study, we described the synthesis and characterization of a cross-linked hydrogel made of polyethylene glycol (PEG) capable of absorbing drug.

Intestinal health is one of the key factors required for the growth and production of turkeys. Histomoniasis (blackhead disease), caused by a protozoan parasite, , is a reemerging threat to the turkey industry. Increased incidences of histomoniasis have been reported in recent years due to withdrawal of antihistomonas treatments.

Histomoniasis is a deadly disease of turkeys causing devastating economic losses to the poultry industry. In field outbreaks, a presumptive diagnosis is made based on gross pathology lesions and confirmed by histopathology. An early detection tool with quick turnaround time is needed to prevent the spread of histomoniasis.
