We address the challenge of finding anomalies in ultrasound images via deep learning, specifically applying this to screening for myopathies and finding rare presentations of myopathic disease. Among myopathic diseases, this study focuses on the use ...
Closed-loop control of functional electrical stimulation coupled with motorized assistance to induce cycling is a rehabilitative strategy that can improve the mobility of people with neurological conditions (NCs). However, robust control methods, whi...

Depth cameras allow to set up reliable solutions for people monitoring and behavior understanding, especially when unstable or poor illumination conditions make unusable common RGB sensors. Therefore, we propose a complete framework for the estimatio...
A novel sampling concept for mass spectrometric bottom-up targeted protein analysis is here demonstrated with polymeric sampling spots integrated with instant immunocapture for analysis of dried matrix spots. The polymers 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-...
