Context: Studies revealed that remote patient monitoring can be effective in the prevention and control of complications in patients with spinal cord injury. However, there are a limited number of researches in this domain with contradictions in some cases. Thus, the current study aimed at investigating the impact of remote patient monitoring on patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods: The current descriptive retrospective study searched databases such as Elsevier, Google Scholar, and PubMed in English from 1977 to 2018. After going throw the required procedures, 40 articles were finally confirmed and enrolled in the current study. Conclusions: The results of the current study revealed that the application of remote patient monitoring system was influential and promising in the prevention and control of complications in patients with SCI. Therefore, they can be considered in care planning for such patients.
ARTICLE INFOBackground and aim: Ectodermal dysplasia (ED) is a hereditary disease that affects ectodermal tissues. Its oral manifestations include hypodontia or oligodontia, which cause the reduction of the height and width of the alveolar ridge. Considering numerous difficulties that these patients encounter with regard to facial appearance, talking, and chewing, their rehabilitation has a major influence on their quality of life. Implantation therapy is considered as a successful therapeutic protocol for substitution of such teeth.
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.
