PURPOSE: Limited evidence is available on speech-language pathology (SLP) weekend services within the subacute inpatient setting. This study aimed to describe Australian SLP weekend services for stroke adult inpatients in subacute units and to explore clinicians' perspectives on factors that influence the delivery of t…

Landslides are among the most destructive geological disasters that seriously damage human life and infrastructures. Landslides mainly occur in mountainous regions around the world. One of the key processes to reduce these damages is to uncover landslide-exposed areas through different data-driven methods such as Geogr…

Inferior meatal antrostomy (IMA) is a safe and easy approach to the maxillary sinus. However, studies have shown disadvantages of conventional IMA, such as disruption of mucociliary transport and injury of the nasolacrimal duct (NLD). Endoscopic middle meatal antrostomy (MMA) has become the standard of care for address…
