Reinforcement Learning-Driven Path Generation for Ankle Rehabilitation Robot Using Musculoskeletal-Informed Energy Optimization.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
In rehabilitation robotics, optimizing energy consumption and high interaction forces is essential to prevent unnecessary muscle fatigue and excessive joint loading as they often cause an inefficient trajectory planning and disrupt natural movement p...

Investigation of serum neuroserpin levels in pregnant women diagnosed with pre-eclampsia: a prospective case-control study.

BMC pregnancy and childbirth
OBJECTIVE: Neuroserpin, a serine protease inhibitor, is recognized for its anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties. Given the central role of inflammation and neurological involvement in the pathophysiology of preeclampsia, this study aimed ...

Maternal and umbilical cord plasma purine concentrations after oral carbohydrate loading prior to elective Cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia: a randomized controlled trial.

BMC pregnancy and childbirth
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of preoperative intake of oral carbohydrates versus standard preoperative fasting prior to elective cesarean delivery on plasma purine levels (hypoxanthine, xanthine, and uric acid) and beta-hydroxybutyrate (β-HB) in...

High procalcitonin level is related to blood stream infections, gram-negative pathogens, and ICU admission in infections of adult febrile cancer patients.

Journal of the Egyptian National Cancer Institute
BACKGROUND: Blood stream infection (BSI) represent a life-threatening condition. Thus, we aimed to investigate the role of procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) tests in adult febrile patients with BSI and other clinical infections in hosp...

Anti-HBs persistence and anamnestic response among medical interns vaccinated in infancy.

Scientific reports
Medical interns are at high risk of acquiring Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) infection during their training. HBV vaccination is the most effective measure to reduce the global incidence of HBV. The duration of protection after HBV vaccination is still cont...

Improving lower-extremity artery depiction and diagnostic confidence using dual-energy technique and popliteal artery monitoring in dual-low dose CT angiography.

Scientific reports
To assess the utility of dual-energy CT scanning (DECTs) with popliteal artery (PA) monitoring in dual low-dose (radiation and contrast) lower-extremity CT angiography (LE-CTA). 135 patients undergoing LE-CTA were prospectively included and divided i...

Development and validation of a collaborative framework for assessment of peripheral facial paralysis using facial image regions of interest.

Acta oto-laryngologica
BACKGROUND: While accurate evaluation of PFP is crucial for determining optimal treatment strategies, current clinical assessments rely heavily on subjective evaluations, leading to considerable variability between inter- and intra-observer ratings.

Gait Characteristics Associated with Walking Speed in Postoperative Patients with Adult Spinal Deformity Extracted by Machine Learning.

Annals of biomedical engineering
PURPOSE: Patients with adult spinal deformity (ASD) are unable to walk faster even after spinal fixation. Gait rehabilitation that focuses on movements associated with reduced speed may help improve gait function. This study aimed to identify the gai...

Promethazine for nausea and vomiting prevention after gynaecological laparoscopic surgery: A randomized controlled trial.

Scientific reports
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) represent significant concerns for patients undergoing surgical procedures, as these symptoms greatly impact their postoperative experience. Among female patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery, the incidence...

Relevance of choroid plexus volumes in multiple sclerosis.

Fluids and barriers of the CNS
BACKGROUND: The choroid plexus (ChP) plays a pivotal role in inflammatory processes that occur in multiple sclerosis (MS). The enlargement of the ChP in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) is considered to be an indication of disease activi...
