AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of synchronous versus asynchronous tele-exercise programs for individuals with spinal cord injuries during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Researchers evaluated 40 participants over 3 weeks, measuring training load, adherence, and exercise recording success.
- Results indicate that synchronous programs had a significantly higher weekly workload and better implementation metrics compared to asynchronous options, despite no differences in average daily workload.
Article Abstract
Introduction: Tele-exercise could represent an alternative for remote care in individuals with spinal cord injury at this time of the pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019. However, the differences regarding the training loads and implementation between synchronous and asynchronous types are not yet known. The purpose of this study was to compare the implementation and training load between synchronous and asynchronous tele-exercise programs in individuals with spinal cord injury.
Methods: Forty individuals with spinal cord injury were recruited and stratified into tetraplegia and paraplegia groups. All subjects performed 3 weeks of both the synchronous and asynchronous tele-exercise programs, after two weeks of familiarization with the exercises, remote connection tools and methods to record information. The primary outcomes were training load (average daily workload and average and total weekly training load) and implementation (adherence and successful exercise recording). Demographic characteristics were obtained from participants' electronic medical records.
Results: Weekly mean workload, total workload, adherence and successful exercise recording presented significantly higher values in the synchronous compared to asynchronous tele-exercises. Average daily workload did not present significant differences between the tele-exercises.
Discussion: The training load for each training session presented no differences between synchronous and asynchronous tele-exercises. Both adherence and successful data recording showed more favourable implementation values for synchronous training, thus allowing greater weekly training loads (total and average).

Background And Purpose: Physical therapists play a vital role in preventing and managing falls in older adults. With advancements in digital health and technology, community fall prevention programs need to adopt valid and reliable telehealth-based assessments. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the validity and reliability of the telehealth-based timed up and go (TUG) test, 30-second chair stand test (30s-CST), and four-stage (4-stage) balance test as functional components of the Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths, and Injuries (STEADI) fall risk assessment.

Reconfigurable processor-based acceleration of deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) algorithms has emerged as a widely adopted technique, with particular attention on sparse neural network acceleration as an active research area. However, many computing devices that claim high computational power still struggle to execute neural network algorithms with optimal efficiency, low latency, and minimal power consumption. Consequently, there remains significant potential for further exploration into improving the efficiency, latency, and power consumption of neural network accelerators across diverse computational scenarios.

Introduction: Virtual learning is characterized by the fact that the sender and the receiver are not present in the development of the learning sessions or in the same physical space; it can be synchronous or asynchronous. In certain subjects such as Human Anatomy, the teaching was face-to-face, which is why the question arose whether the virtual teaching of human anatomy was effective or ineffective.
Objective: To determine the relationship between virtual environments and learning achievements in the subject of human anatomy in students of a Peruvian university during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Lead-free cesium bismuth iodide (CsBiI) perovskite exhibits extraordinary optoelectronic properties and attractive potential in various optoelectronic devices, especially the application for photodetectors. However, most CsBiIphotodetectors demonstrated poor detection performance due to the difficulty in obtaining high-quality polycrystalline films. Therefore, it makes sense to modulate the preparation of high-quality CsBiIpolycrystalline films and expand its applications.

Monitoring selenium (Se) concentrations in fish ovaries is an important tool for evaluating the ecological risk posed by Se in aquatic systems. Most guidance recommends sampling fish ovaries as closely as possible to when fish spawn on the premise that Se is mobilized from the liver to the ovary during vitellogenesis, and therefore, sampling ovaries during the early phases of oocyte maturation may underestimate egg Se concentrations at the time of spawning. In this study, we evaluated ovary Se data from two species with synchronous oocyte development (Ptychocheilus oregonensis and Prosopium williamsoni), one species with asynchronous oocyte development (Richardsonius balteatus), and one where the mode of development is unclear (Mylocheilus caurinus).
