Effectiveness of a tele-rehabilitation intervention to improve performance and reduce morbidity for people post hip fracture - study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

Abstract Background Most surviving hip-fracture patients experience reduced mobility and lose some of their functional ability, which increases the risk of complications and rehospitalization.Post-discharge transitional programs to reduce readmissions and disabilities have shown some success.Telerehabilitation refers to the use of technologies to p

The impacts of assimilating Aeolus horizontal line-of-sight winds on numerical predictions of Hurricane Ida (2021) and a mesoscale convective system over the Atlantic Ocean

The Aeolus satellite, the first spaceborne wind lidar launched by the European Space Agency (ESA) on 22 August 2018, provides global measurements of horizontal line-of-sight (HLOS) winds.The assimilation of Aeolus HLOS winds has been proven to improve numerical weather predictions (NWPs).Still, its influences on forecasts of tropical OMEG ESSENTIAL

Behaviour of Parallel Coupled Microstrip Band Pass Filter and Simple Microstripline due to Thin-Film Al2O3 Overlay

The X-band behaviour of a seven-section parallel-coupled microstrip band pass SELENIUM filter and microstripline due to thin-film Al2O3 overlay of different thickness is reported in this paper.This Al2O3 film can give a homogeneous overlay structure.There is a substantial increase in the bandwidth due to the overlay, the pass band extending towards

Iatrogenic fracture in a patient of ankylosing spondylitis planned for surgical correction of chin-on-chest deformity: A case report and review of literature

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a progressive systemic chronic inflammatory rheumatic disease that causes arthritis of spine and sacroiliac joints and finally results in contracture or bony fusion of these joints.The ankylosed spine has increased propensity to fracture due to rigidity, long lever arms, and osteoporosis.However, iatrogenic fracture o
