Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is a common orthopedic disease associated with mechanical changes that may result in significant pain. Current treatments for IDD mainly depend on conservative therapies and spinal surgeries that are only able to relieve the symptoms but do not address the cause of the degeneration and even accelerate the degeneration of adjacent segments. This has prompte...

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE Internal disk disruption (IDD), an early event of lumbar disk degeneration, is the most common cause of low back pain. Since increased intradiskal pressure (IDP) is associated with symptoms and progression of disk degeneration, unloading a painful disk with an interspinous process device (IPD) is a rational treatment option. The goal of this study was to evaluate the effect...

BACKGROUND Fragile X syndrome is the most common genetic disorder of intellectual developmental disorder/mental retardation (IDD/MR). The prevalence of FXS in a Chinese IDD children seeking diagnosis/treatment in mainland China is unknown. METHODS Patients with unknown moderate to severe IDD were recruited from two children's hospitals. Informed consent was obtained from the children's parent...

BACKGROUND Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) has been widely recognized as a major contributor to low back pain. Accumulating evidence suggests that IDD is linked to various pro-inflammatory cytokines and metabolites. Recently, numerous studies have demonstrated that microRNAs (miRNAs) play a pivotal role in the development of most disorders, including degenerative disc diseases. Previous ...

Transitioning to adult life is considered one of the most critical phases in lives individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). While studies have been published pertaining provision transition services for students IDD some developed countries, such as United States America, little research has carried out this area Saudi Arabia. This gap consistent lack evidence-based A...

Introduction The proportion of people with an intellectual or developmental disability (IDD) in paid employment is low internationally despite policy efforts. Evidence suggests multiple and varied explanations for this, including organisational, social personal barriers. That evidence has not focused on first-person experiences which may provide a depth understanding explanation the work-relate...

Abstract Date Presented 04/01/2022 Peer mentors play a pivotal role in supporting students with intellectual and development disabilities (IDD) their academic social success inclusive postsecondary education (IPSE) college programs. As IPSE programs grow across the United States, peer require training to best support IDD pursuits on campus. This poster presents of OT effectively students. Prima...

Intact dry density (IDD) is a key parameter for characterising the rock mass behaviour of chalk and often main classification property reported engineering design. The role IDD in coastal settings has been discussed literature as an important control cliff recession behaviour. This study demonstrates tool that can reliably estimate samples. Originally developed testing sheet steel materials, Eq...

| This paper investigates online testing for fault localization in CMOS circuits using IDD waveform analysis. The methods investigated in this paper are applicable both to static as well as dynamic CMOS circuits. We show that not only can IDD waveform analysis detect a number of defects that are otherwise undetectable by IDDQ testing, it can also be applied to online testing and diagnosis of CM...

Contrary to expectations based on in vitro experiments, we previously found that pancreatic IL-10 did not inhibit autoimmune diabetes but accelerated it in an MHC-dependent manner. Therefore, the ability of IL-10 to overcome the absence of all non-MHC diabetes susceptibility (Idd) alleles was studied in transgenic mice expressing pancreatic IL-10 backcrossed to B10.H2g7 congenic mice, which hav...
