Imaging of the temporomandibular joint: A position paper of the American Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology

Abstract: Various imaging techniques for the temporomandibular joint are discussed with respect to uses, strengths, and limitations. An imaging protocol is outlined for evaluating patients with a wide variety of temporomandibular joint related signs and symptoms.

The road to cooperative supply‐chain environmental management: trust and uncertainty among pro‐active firms

Abstract: The pressures on firms to improve their environmental performance have caused them to look outside their boundaries towards their supply chains. In such approaches, firms work with vendors to develop the environmental profile of supplied materials (for example) by reducing materials' toxicity or the amount of packaging used. While large firms can mandate that their suppliers comply with such initiatives, more cooperative approaches are generally likely to be more fruitful. This article presents the results from an exploratory, two phase study of the conditions under which firms engage in cooperative supply-chain environmental management. First, the authors conducted interviews with 14 leading-edge firms. In the second phase, the authors conducted a theoretical-sample survey to examine a model of the antecedents of cooperative supply-chain environmental management. The results suggest that inter-firm trust, uncertainty and pro-active environmental management most directly affect the extent to which firms engage in cooperative supply-chain environmental management.

A Survey on Wireless Body Area Networks for eHealthcare Systems in Residential Environments

Abstract: Current progress in wearable and implanted health monitoring technologies has strong potential to alter the future of healthcare services by enabling ubiquitous monitoring of patients. A typical health monitoring system consists of a network of wearable or implanted sensors that constantly monitor physiological parameters. Collected data are relayed using existing wireless communication protocols to a base station for additional processing. This article provides researchers with information to compare the existing low-power communication technologies that can potentially support the rapid development and deployment of WBAN systems, and mainly focuses on remote monitoring of elderly or chronically ill patients in residential environments.
