INTRODUCTION There is a consensus in literature about the need of an evaluation scale for treatment outcomes in individuals with knee injuries in order to provide a standardized method that may be consistently reproduced and report the outcomes of established treatments(1). The use of questionnaires as evaluation parameters is useful, because it enables to standardize, equalize and reproduce th...

In spite of man’s understanding of structure and dynamics of the physical universe, the inner aspect of life or the inner world remains to be unravelled through the current scientific thought process. Despite technological growth and enhanced material standards of living, the real standard of living in terms of love, happiness and peace has yet to find its roots. Yoga and spirituality contain s...

Protein structure prediction and analysis are more significant for living organs to perfect asses the living organ functionalities. Several protein structure prediction methods use neural network (NN). However, the Hidden Markov model is more interpretable and effective for more biological data analysis compared to the NN. It employs statistical data analysis to enhance the prediction accuracy....

How structure relates to function--across spatial scales, from the single molecule to the whole organism--is a central theme in biology. Bioengineers, however, wrestle with the converse question: will function follow form? That is, we struggle to approximate the architecture of living tissues experimentally, hoping that the structure we create will lead to the function we desire. A new means to...

The development of medical clusters is high on the agenda of many policymakers in the European Union. Constructing medical clusters may draw on the presence of living labs of different kinds in the regions involved. Living labs are practical environments for innovation aiming at a better mix and match between stakeholders for co-development and reduction of time-to-market through an early invol...
