The identification of constituent components of each sign gesture is a practical way of establishing large-vocabulary sign language recognition (SLR) system. Aiming at developing such a system using portable accelerometer (ACC) and surface electromyographic (sEMG) sensors, this work proposes a method for automatic SLR at the component level. The preliminary experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method and the feasibility of interpreting sign components from ACC and sEMG data. Our study improves the performance of SLR based on ACC and sEMG sensors and will promote the realization of a large-vocabulary portable SLR system.

Language comprehension is an essential component of human development that is associated not only with expressive language development and knowledge acquisition, but also with social inclusion, mental health, and quality of life. For deaf and hard-of-hearing adults with intellectual disability, there is a paucity of measures of receptive sign language skills, although these are a prerequisite for individualized planning and evaluation of intervention. Assessments require materials and procedures that are accurate, feasible, and suitable for low levels of functioning.

The tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) (transthoracic apical two-chamber stretch) and pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) ratio is a measure of cardiac function that is used to assess left ventricular systolic function. PASP is typically measured using a catheterization procedure, in which a small tube is inserted into a blood vessel and advanced to the pulmonary artery. A TAPSE/PASP ratio higher than 0.

Objectives: The scaphoid fat pad stripe (SFS) is a radiological sign first described in 1975 as a line of relative lucency lying parallel to the lateral border of the scaphoid, with slight convexity toward it, and it is optimally demonstrated on postero-anterior and oblique views with ulnar deviation of the carpus. The obliteration or displacement of this line is commonly present in acute fractures of the scaphoid, radial styloid process, and proximal first metacarpus. The aim of this observational study is to investigate the supportive value of the fat stripe sign (SFS) in the diagnosis of scaphoid fractures in the pediatric population.

Background: Individuals with hearing impairments may face hindrances in health care assistance, which may significantly impact the prognosis and the incidence of complications and iatrogenic events. Therefore, the development of automatic communication systems to assist the interaction between this population and health care workers is paramount.
Objective: This study aims to systematically review the evidence on communication systems using human-computer interaction techniques developed for deaf people who communicate through sign language that are already in use or proposed for use in health care contexts and have been tested with human users or videos of human users.
