One hundred and three colorectal carcinoma specimens were examined to determine the value of xylene alcohol fat clearance technique in detecting lymph node metastases. The mesocolon or mesorectum was dissected initially by traditional method all nodes identified histologically. After specimen again further examined. Forty-one obtained from rectum 62 colon. Traditional dissection produced a mean 6.2 per specimen, but following 12.4 found. total number recovered varied two 69 with 18.5...
Abstract Background Although digital mobility outcomes (DMOs) can be readily calculated from real-world data collected with wearable devices and ad-hoc algorithms, technical validation is still required. The aim of this paper to comparatively assess validate DMOs estimated using gait six different cohorts, focusing on sequence detection, foot initial contact detection (ICD), cadence (CAD) stride length (SL) estimates. Methods Twenty healthy older adults, 20 people Parkinson’s disease,...
Abstract This study aimed to validate a wearable device’s walking speed estimation pipeline, considering complexity, speed, and bout duration. The goal was provide recommendations on the use of devices for real-world mobility analysis. Participants with Parkinson’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Proximal Femoral Fracture, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Congestive Heart Failure, healthy older adults (n = 97) were monitored in laboratory (2.5 h), using lower back device. Two pipelines validated...
Existing mobility endpoints based on functional performance, physical assessments and patient self-reporting are often affected by lack of sensitivity, limiting their utility in clinical practice. Wearable devices including inertial measurement units (IMUs) can overcome these limitations quantifying digital outcomes (DMOs) both during supervised structured real-world conditions. The validity IMU-based methods the real-world, however, is still limited populations. Rigorous validation...
Abstract Physical mobility is essential to health, and patients often rate it as a high-priority clinical outcome. Digital outcomes (DMOs), such real-world gait speed or step count, show promise measures in many medical conditions. However, current research nascent fragmented by discipline. This scoping review maps existing evidence on the utility of DMOs, identifying commonalities across traditional disciplinary divides. In November 2019, 11 databases were searched for records investigating...
Background This study aimed to explore the acceptability of a wearable device for remotely measuring mobility in Mobilise-D technical validation (TVS), and using digital tools monitor health. Methods Participants ( N = 106) TVS wore waist-worn (McRoberts Dynaport MM + ) one week. Following this, was measured two questionnaires: The Comfort Rating Scale (CRS) previously validated questionnaire. A subset participants n 36) also completed semi-structured interviews further determine their...
Introduction: Accurately assessing people’s gait, especially in real-world conditions and case of impaired mobility, is still a challenge due to intrinsic extrinsic factors resulting gait complexity. To improve the estimation gait-related digital mobility outcomes (DMOs) scenarios, this study presents wearable multi-sensor system (INDIP), integrating complementary sensing approaches (two plantar pressure insoles, three inertial units two distance sensors). Methods: The INDIP technical...
Background Wrist-worn inertial sensors are used in digital health for evaluating mobility real-world environments. Preceding the estimation of spatiotemporal gait parameters within long-term recordings, detection is an important step to identify regions interest where occurs, which requires robust algorithms due complexity arm movements. While exist other sensor positions, a comparative validation applied wrist position on data sets across different disease populations missing. Furthermore,...
The aim of our study was to determine the five-year survival patients with colorectal carcinoma whose Dukes classification had changed following fat clearance mesocolon or mesorectum.One hundred three were followed up at a special clinic for least five years after surgery. tumors from these previously been given before and clearance.Four status B C as result died malignant disease during follow-up period. After it apparent that survived, on average, 11 months longer than patients. A...
Background Gait characteristics are important risk factors for falls, hospitalisations and mortality in older adults, but the impact of COPD on gait performance remains unclear. We aimed to identify differences between adults with healthy age-matched controls during 1) laboratory tests that included complex movements obstacles, 2) simulated daily-life activities (supervised) 3) free-living (unsupervised). Methods This case–control study used a multi-sensor wearable system (INDIP) obtain...
Introduction The clinical assessment of mobility, and walking specifically, is still mainly based on functional tests that lack ecological validity. Thanks to inertial measurement units (IMUs), gait analysis shifting unsupervised monitoring in naturalistic unconstrained settings. However, the extraction clinically relevant parameters from IMU data often depends heuristics-based algorithms rely empirically determined thresholds. These were validated small cohorts supervised Methods Here, a...
The L-test is a performance-based measure to assess balance and mobility. Currently, the primary outcome from this test time required finish it. In study we present instrumented (iL-test), an wherein mobility evaluated by means of wearable inertial sensor worn at lower back. We analyzed data 113 people across seven cohorts: healthy adults, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, multiple sclerosis, congestive heart failure, Parkinson's proximal femoral fracture, transfemoral amputation....
Background Recent technological advances in wearable devices offer new potential for measuring mobility real-world contexts. Mobilise-D has validated digital outcomes to provide novel and end points clinical research of 4 different long-term health conditions (Parkinson disease, multiple sclerosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary proximal femoral fracture). These also unique information that is important patients; however, there limited literature explores the optimal methods achieve this,...

Continuous monitoring by wearable technology is ideal for quantifying mobility outcomes in “real-world” conditions. Concurrent factors such as validity, usability, and acceptability of need to be accounted when choosing a device. This study proposes bespoke methodology focused on defining decision matrix allow effective making. A weighting system based responses (n = 69) from purpose-built questionnaire circulated within the IMI Mobilise-D consortium its external collaborators was...
Gait analysis is commonly performed in standardized environments, but there a growing interest assessing gait also ecological conditions. In this regard, an important limitation the lack of accurate mobile gold standard for validating any wearable system, such as continuous monitoring devices mounted on trunk or wrist.
