Brain biopsy from a child with unknown cause of encephalopathy was deep-sequenced. Astrovirus VA1/HMO-C was identified, highly divergent from human astroviruses and 95% identical to astrovirus previously associated with encephalitis. Findings suggest astrovirus VA1/HMO-C is an under-recognized cause of viral encephalitis.
This study demonstrated MCVG as an effective healthcare intervention for the women with FMS who completed the program, with regards to temporary pain relief and enjoyable low impact exercise. Implications for Rehabilitation Exercise is recommended in the management of fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS). People with FMS often find it counterintuitive to exercise because of pain exacerbation, which may influence adherence to an exercise program. Motion-controlled video games may offer temporary pain relief and fun low impact exercise for women with FMS.
This paper examines the integrated toy--both physical and virtual--as an essential resource for collaborative learning. This learning incorporates rehabilitation, training, and education. The data derived from two different cases. Pedagogical issues related to non-formal learning and open-ended features of design are discussed. Findings suggest that social, material, and expressive affordances constitute a base for an alterative interface to encourage children's play and learning.
The paper reports on an initial explorative study that inquired to the response of persons with profound and multiple disabilities in an interactive environment. Our goal was to explore the potentials of interactive environments for improving quality of life for people with special needs and those around them. In the study they were empowered within a volumetric non-invasive interface to actively experience gestural control of sonic events. Case studies exemplify the findings indicating a potential that can encourage social interaction and benefit user, carers, and family. Conclusions highlight evaluand significance to other interactive research such that when a state of flow is achieved both a new reality and state of consciousness are opportune.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
