Dynamic Overhead Body-Weight Support Improves Walking Performance Following ICU Admission for Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: A Case Study
No full textBackground: Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is a commonly treated with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (allo-HSCT), leading to severe weakness and impaired function. Dynamic body weight support systems (DBWS) are a promising rehabilitation tool for enhancing early mobilization in deconditioned patients.
Purpose: Evaluate the integration of DBWS into the rehabilitation plan of a patient recovering from a prolonged ICU stay post-allo HSCT, focusing on mobility and functional recovery.
Case Description: A 55-year-old male, two years post-allo HSCT for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, was hospitalized for 14 weeks due to respiratory distress from pneumonia and lung GVHD, resulting in severe deconditioning. DBWS was introduced during week 9 of hospitalization after conventional physical therapy including but not limited to bed mobility, transfers, ambulation, stairs, seated and standing therapeutic exercise and balance. Over 19 DBWS sessions, the patient advanced from ambulating 4.88 meters with 50% body weight support and maximal assistance ×2 to ambulating independently with a front-wheeled walker. Weekly work output improved from 993 joules in week 9 to 10,441 joules in week 14.
Outcomes: KPS improved from 20 at admission to 60 at discharge. He also achieved independence in bed mobility and required minimal assistance for transfers and ambulation.
Conclusions: Integrating DBWS with conventional therapy facilitated significant functional recovery in a patient post-allo HSCT. Further studies are needed to assess its broader applicability in oncology rehabilitation

No full textThe Hating Game
No full textThe Hating Game is about two co-workers, Lucy and Josh, and how they hate each other due to how competitive they are with their jobs. However, their hate quickly turns into attraction as Josh gets jealous when Lucy goes on a date. They eventually decide they like each other and explore an unexpected relationship. This book shows that anyone can fall in love in the most random way and that it\u27s not always what people expect.https://ecommons.udayton.edu/ul_popularromance/1114/thumbnail.jp
EGgaIn-Based Soft Stretchable Sensing System for Touch Localization, Strain Measurement, and CNN-Driven Gesture Recognition
No full textWearable electronics depend heavily on robust and responsive sensors, yet conventional invasive methods and rigid structures have long limited their potential. While miniaturization has improved sensor integration, these systems often struggle under mechanical stress such as bending or stretching. Recent advances in soft, stretchable materials with high conductivity and self-healing capabilities offer a forward, promising path. Among these, Eutectic Gallium–Indium (EGaIn) stands out due to its high conductivity and minimal resistance change under strain. This thesis presents the design and development of a soft, stretchable sensing system that leverages EGaIn-based electronics for multimodal sensing. Capacitive sensing is used for touch localization, while resistive EGaIn traces enable strain measurement. Also, gesture recognition is implemented using a convolutional neural network (CNN), which classifies touch patterns captured from the sensor surface. The system demonstrates the potential of combining capacitive and resistive sensing to form a highly responsive, deformable interface. Through extensive testing—including uniaxial and biaxial stretch experiments—this work highlights the challenges of two-dimensional strain sensing and the importance of sensor layout in performance
Substandard Communication with Deaf/Hard-of-Hearing College Students
No full textExisting substandard communication between current college professors and Deaf/Hard-of-Hearing college students has affected the rate of college graduation. A significant problem that requires investigation is the disproportionately low graduation rate of Deaf/Hard-of-Hearing college students compared to hearing college students within undergraduate college programs. One of the major obstacles is the lack of college personnel formally trained to utilize nonverbal communication methods such as finger spelling, American sign language (ASL), and cued speech. This low rate of college graduation among Deaf/Hard-of-Hearing (D/HH) college students has resulted in limited opportunities for gainful employment within the United States. This study seeks to disclose these perceived obstacles while striving to overcome the prevailing educational barrier
