The Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine, 2019 • July 1, 2019
This pilot study examined personal and wheelchair factors related to increased pretibial skin pressures in elite wheelchair racers during static and dynamic conditions. Increased kneeling plate angle ...
KEY FINDING: Increased kneeling plate angle was moderately associated with dynamic pressures, meaning a more vertical angle leads to higher pressure during racing.
J Clin Apher, 2020 • February 1, 2020
This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of IgE-selective immunoadsorption (IA) in treating severe atopic dermatitis (AD). Five patients with severe AD underwent three courses of IA, which resulte...
KEY FINDING: IgE-selective IA effectively reduced serum IgE levels in all participants by an average of 81% per cycle.
Conf Proc IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc, 2011 • August 1, 2011
This study explores the use of machine-learning techniques, specifically artificial neural networks (ANN), to develop an intelligent model for determining favorable wheelchair tilt and recline angles ...
KEY FINDING: Traditional statistical analysis of skin blood flow response to wheelchair tilt and recline usage is not satisfying, with a classification accuracy rate of only 59.38%.
Top Spinal Cord Inj Rehabil, 2010 • January 1, 2010
The study assessed the relationship of psychological, environmental, and behavioral factors with pressure ulcers (PUs) in persons with spinal cord injury (SCI). Behavioral variables mediated the relat...
KEY FINDING: Each additional prescription medication taken weekly increased the odds of having a PU by 24%.
BMJ Open, 2017 • January 1, 2017
This is a protocol for a scoping review to map research on skin self-care for people with spinal cord injury (SCI). The review will use a systematic approach to search for and analyze relevant studies...
KEY FINDING: The scoping review will map the available evidence on skin self-care for people with SCI.
Eur Spine J, 2009 • March 20, 2009
The study aimed to develop a quantitative skin impedance test to diagnose spinal cord injury (SCI), particularly in unconscious or non-cooperative patients. Skin impedance measurements were taken at s...
KEY FINDING: The artificial neural network (ANN) could classify traumatic SCI patients with a success rate of 73% when using skin impedance values.
Nature Communications, 2023 • October 27, 2023
This study introduces a 'psoriasis catalytic therapy' strategy using biomimetic materials (FeN4O2-SACs) to continuously scavenge overexpressed ROS, thereby ameliorating psoriatic lesions and preventin...
KEY FINDING: FeN4O2-SACs exhibit multiple enzyme-mimicking activities, analogous to natural antioxidant enzymes, demonstrating broad-spectrum ROS scavenging capability.
Sci Immunol, 2019 • July 5, 2019
This study investigates the migratory behavior of human skin-resident memory T cells (TRM), challenging the concept of strict tissue compartmentalization. The research identifies a circulating populat...
KEY FINDING: Human skin CD4+ TRM can downregulate CD69 and exit the skin.
