Background Health and fitness apps have potential benefits to improve self-management disease control among patients with asthma. However, inconsistent use rates been reported across studies, regions, health systems. A better understanding of the characteristics users nonusers is critical design solutions that are effectively integrated in patients’ daily lives, ensure these equitably reach out different groups patients, thus improving rather than entrenching inequities. Objective This study...
Abstract Background Complex abdominal wall hernias are still challenging. These patients require an extensive preoperative preparation, and, sometimes, the use of adjuvant techniques.
