Items address current pain levels, personal care, role performance (work/study/home duties), mobility (driving/ public transport), sleep disturbances, tiredness, social and leisure (sporting an...

The aim of this study was to explore whether reported pain and functional disability in whiplash-associated disorders (WAD) patients is associated with lesions to specific soft tissue structures in the upper cervical spine, as assessed by MRI. Pre-selected structures for MRI assessment included the alar ligaments, the transverse ligament, the tectorial and the posterior atlanto-occipital membra...

The World-Wide Web is increasingly used as a means for accessing on-line applications, although the Web was initially created to access documents.

Since this skull is not abraded and is unlikely to have been water-transported more than a few kilometers to its site of burial, it pr...

This paper presents an approach to describe business process in production systems using workflow concepts. In this sense, we define an extension of the UML Activity Diagram called Workflow Activity Diagram (WAD) which applies the C-WF model concepts. The C-Wf model represents the structural and functional enterprise objects involved in the business processes, such as enterprise activities, hum...

Results from intervention trials for individuals with chronic WAD are equivocal and optimal treatment continues to be a challenge. It may be that traditional quantitative measures inclu...
