Efficacy of Interventions to Improve Respiratory Function After Stroke.

abstract：:Health care costs continue to skyrocket, and a large portion of these costs can be attributed to technology. Some technology, such as oximetry, is relatively inexpensive compared to CAT scanning and magnetic resonance imaging. Therefore, it may elude close scrutiny and direct health care planning and, with little fanf...
