Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate lung ultrasound (LUS) as an effective screening tool for lung issues related to systemic connective tissue diseases.
- Involving 180 patients, the study compared LUS with high-resolution chest CT (HRCT) and echocardiography, finding LUS to have a sensitivity of 99.3% and specificity of 96.4% for detecting interstitial lung disease.
- The findings suggest LUS is a reliable method for identifying lung involvement in these patients, though more extensive studies are needed for confirmation.
Wavelet transfer function in the analysis of the influence of a palm grip on actual vibrations of an upper limb.

Algorithms used to determine the vibrations to which hand-tool operators are exposed take into account only vibrations measured on a tool. Thus, the significant influence of constraints joining the elements of the tool-operator system is neglected. This paper attempts to determine the influence of grip on vibrations recorded both on the tool and on the limb.
