There is an unprecedented growth in health and rehabilitation technologies influencing service delivery. While adopting emergent or existent technologies may add value to rehabilitation services and outcomes, clinicians face uncertainties on whether and how to adopt new technologies. Because of these challenges, rehabilitation stakeholders need to be active agents in the development, adoption, and ongoing evaluation of a given technology's impact.

Materials And Methods: We identified N = 149 men with PCa who underwent 3T MRI, a confirmatory biopsy and for whom self-reported race was available. Patient studies were partitioned into training (D) and hold-out test set (D).
In recent years, industries have seen many advancements in finding proper tools for machining to enhance productivity. Choosing a proper friction drilling tool that minimizes surface damage and improves tool life and productivity is essential. In this study, the wear characteristics of H13 steel among four samples (untreated, heated, TiAlN, and AlCrN) were investigated through a pin-on-disc machine, focusing on highlighting the wear behaviour and surface morphology.

While thyroid hormones (THs) are essential for morphogenesis, their role in VBWD pathogenesis is not well defined.
Aim: To investigate the impact of TH deficiency on ventral body wall development in chick embryos and evaluate levothyroxine as a therapeutic intervention.
