Article Abstract

Recovery from external perturbations typically involves stepping, with the perturbation direction playing a key role in determining the recovery strategy. To date, classifications of these stepping strategies have relied on prior knowledge of perturbation direction, which is not always available when considering experimental paradigms close to real-world scenario. Here, we introduce a novel Unified classification method that enables the labeling of first recovery steps based solely on body kinematics. We have also developed and validated a logistic regression model that effectively differentiates between different recovery strategies.

The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed critical gaps in our management of systemic risks within complex, interconnected systems. This review examines 10 key areas where artificial intelligence (AI) and data analytics can significantly enhance pandemic preparedness, response, and recovery. Inadequate early warning systems, insufficient real-time data on resource needs, and the limitations of traditional epidemiological models in capturing complex disease dynamics are among the challenges analyzed.

Objective: This study aimed to measure the impact of adverse events (AEs) on advanced practice provider (APP) well-being and to describe symptoms of second victim syndrome (SVS) among this group of healthcare professionals.

Methods: A survey was designed to measure the incidence of AEs among APPs employed at a large healthcare system and AE impact on emotional, physical, and professional well-being. It also measured burnout, callousness, and the desire for peer support among APPs who had experienced AEs and those who had not.

The functional interaction of regulatory mechanisms that manage total centre of mass (CoM) energy, frontal plane whole-body angular momentum and mediolateral margin of stability (MoS) during hole negotiation gait was investigated. Joint kinematics, leg posture, total CoM energy, frontal plane whole-body angular momentum, mediolateral MoS and muscle activation patterns of seven bilateral lower leg muscles were assessed in 18 participants. During hole negotiation, we found an increase in the peak-to-peak range of total CoM energy and frontal plane whole-body angular momentum during the preparation, hole and recovery steps, and a decrease in mediolateral MoS at touch-down during the preparation and hole steps compared to level walking, providing evidence of an increased challenge in stability control.

Development and Application of the WFS-175: A Novel Multidimensional Score for Wrist Function.

J Hand Surg Glob Online

November 2025

Institute of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Military Hospital 175, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Purpose: We present a novel protocol for wrist function assessment that integrates both objective factors (range of motion and grip strength) and subjective domains (pain, motor function, and quality of life) into the composite Wrist Function Score - 175 (WFS-175) score.

Methods: The protocol consists of three main steps: (1) data collection, which involves measuring the wrist range of motion in six directions using a goniometer and grip strength, including maximum strength, endurance, and recovery, using a Jamar dynamometer, alongside concurrent subjective assessment with a standardized questionnaire; (2) standardization of all data onto a unified scoring scale, applying a linear formula to calculate the total WFS-175 score (maximum 175 points), with the following components: range of motion (30 points), grip strength (40 points), pain (25 points), motor function (40 points), and quality of life (40 points); and (3) input of results into the AppSheet/Google Sheets system, which provides automated calculation, storage, reporting, and graphical visualization for longitudinal tracking of functional recovery.

Results: This protocol yields a standardized assessment form that enables precise calculation of the WFS-175 score.

Optimization of the measurement method for airborne endotoxins in workplace atmospheres: experiments using laboratory-generated bioaerosols.

Ann Work Expo Health

September 2025

Laboratoire de Métrologie des Aérosols, INRS, 54519 Vandœuvre-lès-Nancy Cedex, France.

Endotoxins are components of the outer membrane of bacteria that can become airborne during aerosol-generating work activities and cause adverse effects on workers' health. Filtration is the sampling method recommended by the EN 14031 standard for endotoxin measurements in workplace atmospheres. However, there are still differences in terms of practice regarding certain parameters of the measurement method.
