Diabetes Risk Score (DRS) tools are computational tools, used to assess the risk of a person’s getting diabetes. DRS tools are generally used as a simple, inexpensive and non-invasive mass screening tool to detect diabetes. Various DRS tools are reported in literature and being used successfully. The accuracy of the DRS tools highly depends on the parameters used to derive it. Total Diabetic Ri...

This study examines the psychometric properties of the Working Alliance Inventory-Short (WAI-S) adaptation to Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) therapies (WAI-VAR). The relationship between the therapeutic alliance (TA) with VR and AR and clinically significant change (CSC) is also explored. Seventy-five patients took part in this study (74.7% women, M age = 34.41). Fear of flying...

OBJECTIVES Wideband acoustic immittance (WAI) measurements are capable of quantifying middle ear performance over a wide range of frequencies relevant to human hearing. Static pressure in the middle ear cavity affects sound transmission to the cochlea, but few datasets exist to quantify the relationship between middle ear transmission and the static pressure. In this study, WAI measurements of ...
