Physical medicine, rehabilitation and neuro-oncology interfaces to develop

Physical medicine and rehabilitation.

An important priority has been the development of quantitative methods for measuring the disability status of patients undergoing rehabilitation. Intramuscular injection of botulinum toxin is an effective new therapy for spasticity due to a number of causes.

From Patient-Specific Mathematical Neuro-Oncology to Precision Medicine

Gliomas are notoriously aggressive, malignant brain tumors that have variable response to treatment. These patients often have poor prognosis, informed primarily by histopathology. Mathematical neuro-oncology (MNO) is a young and burgeoning field that leverages mathematical models to predict and quantify response to therapies. These mathematical models can form the basis of modern "precision me...

The system developed by Särelä et al. (2003) [6] consists mainly in a wearable device and a base station, installed at the user ́s home, to monitor the user ́s movements. The wearable device collects activity data and sends it to the base station, which can synchronize the data with a dedicated server through a wired public telephone line or send alert messages to a caregiver. The target populati...
