A bibliometric review of unilateral neglect: Trends, frontiers, and frameworks

BACKGROUND: Owing to the adverse effects of unilateral neglect (UN) on rehabilitation outcomes, fall risk, and activities of daily living, this field has gradually got considerable interest. Notwithstanding, there is presently an absence of...

Lipid peroxidation and DNA oxidation caused by dental filling materials

Background/purpose: The two direct dental restorative materials most commonly used today are silver-mercury amalgam and resin-based composites. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of these two restorative materials and subs...

Mobile App Prototype in Older Adults for Postfracture Acute Pain Management: User-Centered Design Approach

BackgroundPostfracture acute pain is often inadequately managed in older adults. Mobile health (mHealth) technologies can offer opportunities for self-management of pain; however, insufficient apps exist for acute pain management after a fr...

Sensitivity and Features of Computed Tomography in Diagnosis of COVID-19 Pneumonia: A Meta-analysis
