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...

Streamlining systematic reviews with large language models using prompt engineering and retrieval augmented generation.

BMC medical research methodology
BACKGROUND: Systematic reviews (SRs) are essential to formulate evidence-based guidelines but require time-consuming and costly literature screening. Large Language Models (LLMs) can be a powerful tool to expedite SRs.

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...

Variations of the chemical components and biological activities of Thymus capitatus essential oil from three regions in Palestine.

Scientific reports
Thymus capitatus is a widely utilized medicinal plant in Palestine. The main goal of this study was to assess the phytochemical content of T. capitatus essential oils (EOs) from three Palestinian regions using hydro-distillation. Furthermore, the EO ...

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...

Derivational morphology reveals analogical generalization in large language models.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
What mechanisms underlie linguistic generalization in large language models (LLMs)? This question has attracted considerable attention, with most studies analyzing the extent to which the language skills of LLMs resemble rules. As of yet, it is not k...

Reduced blood EPAC1 protein levels as a marker of severe coronary artery disease: the role of hypoxic foam cell-transformed smooth muscle cells.

Journal of translational medicine
BACKGROUND: Vascular smooth muscle cells loaded with cholesterol (foam-VSMCs) play a crucial role in the progression of human atherosclerosis. Exchange Protein Directly Activated by cAMP 1 (EPAC1) is a critical protein in the regulation of vascular t...

Splenic and portal venous flow associated with frailty and sarcopenia in older outpatients with cardiovascular disease.

BMC geriatrics
BACKGROUND: Older patients with cardiovascular disease often experience frailty and sarcopenia. We evaluated whether a reduced blood flow in the splenic and portal vein is associated with frailty and sarcopenia in older patients with cardiovascular d...

In vitro antimicrobial and anticancer potentials of green synthesized luminescent carbon quantum dots derived from artichoke leaves.

Scientific reports
Naturally derived carbon quantum dots (CQDs) are novel carbon-based nanomaterials with excellent traits. It is highly demanded to develop CQDs from biowaste that have excellent photostability, a simple synthesis approach, and an appealing output so t...
