Cost analysis of technological vs. conventional upper limb rehabilitation for patients with neurological disorders: an Italian real-world data case study.

Most patients suffering from neurological disorders endure varying degrees of upper limb dysfunction, limiting their everyday activities, with only a limited number regaining full arm use. Robotic and technological rehabilitation has been demonstrated to be a feasible solution to guarantee an effective rehabilitation to recover upper limb performance or to prevent complications of upper limb immobility. However, there is currently a lack of studies which analyze the sustainability of robotic and technological rehabilitation by comparing its costs to conventional rehabilitation pathways. Since technology-based and conventional rehabilitation of the upper limb have been demonstrated to have comparable efficacy when the rehabilitation dose is matched, our study concentrates on a cost minimization analysis. The aim of the study is to compare the costs of a "mixed" rehabilitation cycle, which combines conventional and technology-based treatments (the latter delivered with a single therapist supervising several patients), with a cycle of purely conventional treatments. This has been done by developing a cost model and retrospectively analyzing the costs sustained by an Italian hospital which has adopted such a mixed model. A sensitivity analysis has been done to identify the parameters of the model that have the greatest influence on cost difference and to evaluate their optimal values in terms of efficiency of mixed rehabilitation. Finally, probabilistic simulations have been applied to consider the variability of model parameters around such optimized values and evaluate the probability of achieving a given level of savings. We found a cost difference of 49.60 € per cycle in favor of mixed rehabilitation. The sensitivity analysis demonstrated that, in the situation of the hospital under investigation, the parameter having the largest influence on the cost difference is the number of robotic treatments in a mixed rehab cycle. Probabilistic simulations indicate a probability higher than 98% of an optimized mixed rehabilitation cycle being less expensive than a pure conventional one. Through a retrospective cost analysis, we found that the technology-based mixed rehabilitation approach, within a specific organizational model allowing a single physiotherapist to supervise up to four patients concurrently, allowed cost savings compared to the conventional rehabilitation model.

Investigating the synergistic neuromodulation effect of bilateral rTMS and VR brain-computer interfaces training in chronic stroke patients

Objective.Stroke is a major cause of adult disability worldwide, resulting in motor impairments. To regain motor function, patients undergo rehabilitation, typically involving repetitive movement training. For those who lack volitional movement, novel technology-based approaches have emerged that directly involve the central nervous system, through neuromodulation techniques such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and closed-loop neurofeedback like brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). This, can be augmented through proprioceptive feedback delivered many times by embodied virtual reality (VR). Nonetheless, despite a growing body of research demonstrating the individual efficacy of each technique, there is limited information on their combined effects.Approach.In this study, we analyzed the Electroencephalographic (EEG) signals acquired from 10 patients with more than 4 months since stroke during a longitudinal intervention with repetitive TMS followed by VR-BCI training. From the EEG, the event related desynchronization (ERD) and individual alpha frequency (IAF) were extracted, evaluated over time and correlated with clinical outcome.Main results.Every patient's clinical outcome improved after treatment, and ERD magnitude increased during simultaneous rTMS and VR-BCI. Additionally, IAF values showed a significant correlation with clinical outcome, nonetheless, no relationship was found between differences in ERD pre- post- intervention with the clinical improvement.Significance.This study furnishes empirical evidence supporting the efficacy of the joint action of rTMS and VR-BCI in enhancing patient recovery. It also suggests a relationship between IAF and rehabilitation outcomes, that could potentially serve as a retrievable biomarker for stroke recovery.

A Scoping Review of Technology-Based Approaches for Upper Limb Motor Rehabilitation after Stroke: Are We Really Targeting Severe Impairment?

Technology-based approaches for upper limb (UL) motor rehabilitation after stroke are mostly designed for severely affected patients to increase their recovery chances. However, the available randomized controlled trials (RCTs) focused on the efficacy of technology-based interventions often include patients with a wide range of motor impairment. This scoping review aims at overviewing the actual severity of stroke patients enrolled in RCTs that claim to specifically address UL severe motor impairment. The literature search was conducted on the Scopus and PubMed databases and included articles from 2008 to May 2024, specifically RCTs investigating the impact of technology-based interventions on UL motor functional recovery after stroke. Forty-eight studies were selected. They showed that, upon patients' enrollment, the values of the UL Fugl-Meyer Assessment and Action Research Arm Test covered the whole range of both scales, thus revealing the non-selective inclusion of severely impaired patients. Heterogeneity in terms of numerosity, characteristics of enrolled patients, trial design, implementation, and reporting was present across the studies. No clear difference in the severity of the included patients according to the intervention type was found. Patient stratification upon enrollment is crucial to best direct resources to those patients who will benefit the most from a given technology-assisted approach (personalized rehabilitation).

A rapid quarantine approach for the pathogenic and invasive Phytophthora species associated with imported fruits in China.

Phytophthora spp. represent a pivotal genus of plant pathogens with a global distribution, exerting significant deleterious effects on food safety and forestry ecosystems. Numerous pathogenic and invasive Phytophthora species, introduced through imported fruits, have been frequently detected at Chinese ports. With the rise in global trade activities, the plant quarantine of imported fruits is becoming increasingly important but challenging. Fast, simple, and labor-saving techniques are necessary and anticipated. A polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism capillary electrophoresis (PCR-RFLP-CE) technology-based quarantine approach was developed for 16 Phytophthora species associated with the imported fruits in China. The Ypt1 gene, exhibiting abundant interspecific variations, was selected as the marker gene for PCR. The restriction endonuclease AluI was proven to be capable and compatible in simultaneously separating different Phytophthora species during CE. By combining with a fast and efficient DNA extraction kit, the developed PCR-RFLP-CE technique was successfully applied to identify Phytophthora species in artificially infested fruits. We provide a quick, practical, and high-throughput detection approach for hazardous and invasive Phytophthora species associated with imported fruits in China. This strategy can give good convenience and technological support for carrying out massive quarantine activities at Chinese ports. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Multi-Objective Technology-Based Approach to Home Healthcare Routing Problem Considering Sustainability Aspects

Background: This research aims to solve a home healthcare vehicle routing problem (HHCVRP) model that considers the social aspect of sustainability and will be implemented in smart cities. In addition to the dynamism and uncertainty caused by variations in the patient’s condition, the proposed model considers parameters and variables that enhance its practicability, such as assuming different levels of patient importance (priority). Methods: The model was solved using a metaheuristic algorithm approach via the Ant Colony Optimization algorithm and the Non-Dominated Sorting technique due to the ability of such a combination to work out with dynamic models with uncertainties and multi-objectives. Results: This study proposes a novel mathematical model by integrating body sensors on patients to keep updating their conditions and prioritizing critical conditions in service. The sensitivity analysis demonstrates that using a heart rate sensor improves service quality and patient satisfaction without affecting the energy consumed. In addition, quality costs are increased if the importance levels of patients increase. Conclusions: The suggested model can assist healthcare practitioners in tracking patients’ health conditions to improve the quality of service and manage workload effectively. A trade-off between patient satisfaction and service provider satisfaction should be maintained.

Reproducibility analysis of bioimpedance-based self-developed live cell assays

Bioimpedance spectrum (BIS) measurements have a great future in in vitro experiments, meeting all the requirements for non-destructive and label-free methods. Nevertheless, a real basic research can provide the necessary milestones to achieve the success of the method. In this paper a self-developed technology-based approach for in vitro assays is proposed. Authors invented a special graphene-based measuring plate in order to assess the high sensitivity and reproducibility of introduced technique. The design of the self-produced BIS plates maximizes the detection capacity of qualitative changes in cell culture and it is robust against physical effects and artifacts. The plates do not influence the viability and proliferation, however the results are robust, stable and reproducible regardless of when and where the experiments are carried out. In this study, physiological saline concentrations, two cancer and stem cell lines were utilized. All the results were statistically tested and confirmed. The findings of the assays show, that the introduced BIS technology is appropriate to be used in vitro experiments with high efficacy. The experimental results demonstrate high correlation values across the replicates, and the model parameters suggested that the characteristic differences among the various cell lines can be detected using appropriate hypothesis tests.

Perceived effectiveness of traditional and technology-based speeding-related countermeasures

Introduction: Speeding behaviour contributes significantly to road crashes and subsequent injuries and fatalities. The purpose of this study was to examine which traditional countermeasures (i.e., police enforcement and on-road signs) and technology-based countermeasures (i.e., advanced driver assistance systems [ADAS] and in-vehicle speed audio alerts) drivers perceived as effective in assisting them to comply with posted speed limits. Methods: Participants (N = 680; Mage = 49.34 years) who held a current driver’s licence completed a 20-minute online survey. Participants in the experimental condition were randomly assigned to read one of four scenarios which differed based on location (urban or regional) and posted speed limit (60 km/hr or 100 km/hr) or to the control condition (no scenario), before answering questions about the perceived effectiveness of the traditional and technology-based interventions. For the experimental conditions, participants were instructed to respond to these questions based on how they would drive in the situation outlined in the scenario. Results: Low-level speeding behaviour was common, with 40.7 % reporting regularly driving 5 km over the posted speed limit in a 60 km/hr speed zone and 50.4 % reporting regularly driving 5 km over the posted speed limit in a 100 km/hr speed zone. A mixed ANOVA revealed that participants perceived police enforcement activities to be the most effective at assisting them to comply with posted speed limits when compared to other traditional and technology-based approaches. Further, ADAS was rated by participants as significantly more effective at assisting them to comply with the posted speed limit in the 100 km/hr urban condition compared to the 60 km/hr urban condition. Conclusions: Low-level speeding behaviour remains common practice and there is a need for continued roadside police presence to discourage this behaviour. Drivers with ADAS-equipped vehicles could also be encouraged to use systems, such as adaptative cruise control, to assist with speed management on high-speed roads.
