Previous research into the exclusion of disabled persons from paid work tends to compartmentalize them into a stable and undifferentiated category of “cared‐for” subjects. This fixation implicitly approves the ethics of work as...
BACKGROUND: A considerable proportion of rare disease patients decide to migrate to access a definitive diagnosis or appropriate care, which could affect their quality of life in a long term. OBJECTIVE: To compare quality of...
Abstract: Background: Pompe disease (PD) is a rare inherited disorder caused by the deficiency of acid-α glucosidase, which leads to the impairment of organ and tissue functions and causes disabilities. As the first national...
