Despite unprecedented advances in our understanding of the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel diseases and novel treatments there is abundant evidence that the quality of care delivered to IBD patients is both disparate and suboptimal. Scientific progress may have outpaced quality improvement measures. Quality of care research in IBD is fraught with challenges with the lack of established quali...

Iot In SPortS It’s easy to find IoT in sports, whether you’re interested in wearables or objects.

Less common wearables include clothing such as the Hexoskin smart shirt, which measures your heart rate, heart-rate variability, breathing rate, and breathing volume in addition...

BACKGROUND Folklore remedies for pain and inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis include the application of magnets and copper to the skin. Despite the popular use of devices containing magnets or copper for this purpose, little research has been conducted to evaluate the efficacy of such treatments. OBJECTIVE To investigate whether the practice of wearing magnetic wrists straps, or copper brac...

OBJECTIVES It is well known that adherence to hygiene routines leads to increased quality of care and safety for patients and personnel in hospitals. However, there have been few studies describing hygiene in ambulances, despite the fact that many patients receive advanced medical care and treatment from ambulance services before arriving at an emergency department. Therefore, the purpose of th...

The effect of charge hydration asymmetry (CHA)-non-invariance of solvation free energy upon solute charge inversion-is missing from the standard linear response continuum electrostatics. The proposed charge hydration asymmetric-generalized Born (CHA-GB) approximation introduces this effect into the popular generalized Born (GB) model. The CHA is added to the GB equation via an analytical correc...

The giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) ranges widely in northern South America and southern Central America, where its main predators are jaguars (Panthera onca) pumas (Puma concolor). species’ bold color pattern has been attributed to predator avoidance through both aposematism disruptive camouflage. Its powerful front claws can be used not only for ripping open ant termite nests but als...
