Existing pick and place robots are either heavy or have a limited workspace for vertical operations. Since there is no robot today that are both light and have a good vertical workspace, this leads to a gap in the market. With the use of the laws of physics Cognibotics is trying to fill these gaps in the market, by developing new fast and lightweight robots. These new robots are designed to have a
INTRODUCTION: Hypertension and dyslipidemia often precede cardiovascular disease. Lifestyle modifications help prevent these conditions, and referrals for women may be possible during reproductive health care visits. However, screening recommendations vary, which may affect screening rates. The objectives of this systematic review were to 1) assess the available literature on the effectiveness of
Pharmaceutical packaging is linked to important demographic changes. Aging ofpopulations is one of the demographic changes which has called for more attention, especially in well-developed countries. The increase in life expectancy represents a positive consequence of years of research, development of medications, and improvement in life habits. In spite of that, the growth in the number of people
We establish the local well-posedness for a recently derived model that combines the linear dispersion of Korteweg-de Veris equation with the nonlinear/nonlocal dispersion of the Camassa-Holm equation, and we prove that the equation has solutions that exist for indefinite times as well as solutions that blow up in finite time. We also derive an explosion criterion for the equation, and we give a s
Introduction: Accurate discharge summaries counteract drug-related problems due to insufficient information transfer in care transitions, but require optimal transfer and use. Careful follow-up is often essential after hospital discharge, for example when it comes to pain management in elderly patients; a common and challenging task in primary care. Aims: To assess the transfer and use of the disc
To promote human flourishing throughout society, opportunities for arts participation must encompass all citizens. A primary means to promote this is arts education and activities for schoolchildren. Equal opportunities for participation are currently not enjoyed by students with disabilities. In a population-based and cross-sectional study carried out on a 2016 public-health survey including 27,3
This study presents a modular approach for the synthesis of multifunctional affinity sorbents, facilitating molecular separation via magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers. A magnetic propranolol-imprinted polymer (MIP) nanocomposite with superparamagnetic characteristics was synthesized through precipitation polymerization process coupled with coprecipitation methods. Initially, the propranolol-
OBJECTIVES: Implementation of the Stroke Action Plan for Europe (2018-2030) (SAP-E) was initiated in 2019. It is now updated at mid-term to reflect and respond to challenges for stroke care in Europe in 2025. METHODS: The SAP-E covers the entire chain of stroke care. The sections (state of the art, current status and targets) were developed by working groups and finalised based on inputs from the
BACKGROUND: Despite decades of initiatives promoting individual behavior change, obesity rates remain high and continue to rise globally, indicating that what is commonly labelled as “obesity prevention” is not, in practice, preventing obesity. While health promotion strategies and policy interventions have demonstrated improvements in environments, health behaviors, and industry practices, their
Purpose: Radiotherapy (RT) for patients with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LA-HNSCC) can be intensified by delivering 6 (6fx/w) instead of 5 (5fx/w) fractions per week. Randomized trials have demonstrated superiority for 6fx/w in patients treated without concurrent chemotherapy (CRT). This real-world analysis compares 6 vs 5 fx/w in LA-HNSCC all-comers, treated predominan
The brain has a tremendous capacity to adapt (i.e., plasticity) to environmental changes or injury. This capacity decreases with age but is never lost. The goal of sensory relearning is to improve hand function by using the dynamic capacity of the brain with the use of guided plasticity (i.e., plasticity used for a therapeutic purpose). After a peripheral nerve injury, no nerve signals are sent fr
Objective: The aim of this study was to explore experiences and challenges in handling feedback and criticism among early career surgeons. Design: This study is part of a prospective, exploratory, longitudinal study evaluating surgical residents throughout residency. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with medical doctors applying to a locum or residency position in a surgical specialty. An
The rapid growth of smart logistics, driven by IoT devices and data-intensive applications, necessitates secure, scalable, and efficient computing frameworks. As the edge-fog-cloud (EFC) paradigm supports real-time data processing, it faces significant security threats and attacks, including privacy risks, data breaches, and unauthorized access. To address these security threats and attacks, block
The advent of AlphaFold and consumer large language models have elicited unprecedented development of artificial intelligence (AI). AI has had substantial impact in every area of research, including in molecular biology. This is principally in thanks to contributions to the Protein Data Bank and various genome sequence databases, providing an astronomical amount of data for model training. These d
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disorder, affecting millions worldwide. The clinical presentation of AD is heterogenous and often complicated by the presence of multiple co-pathologies, which can overlap with features of other neurodegenerative disorders, underscoring the need for tools to aid accurate and timely diagnosis. Biomarkers for AD span multiple modalities a
Background and purpose: Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumour in children. Radiotherapy is commonly part of the multimodal treatment for high-risk patients. The aim of this study is to analyse doses to organs at risk (OAR) in comparative proton and photon treatment plans for children treated for neuroblastoma and report side effects. Patient/material and methods: All children
