Infrared thermography of beef carcasses and random forest algorithm to predict temperature and pH of Longissimus thoracis on carcasses.

Meat science
This study aimed to evaluate the use of infrared thermography (IRT) as a method for predicting the initial and ultimate temperature, as well as the pH, of the Longissimus thoracis in beef carcasses (LTBC). A total of 102 beef carcasses, consisting of...

Validation of body composition parameters extracted via deep learning-based segmentation from routine computed tomographies.

Scientific reports
Sarcopenia and body composition metrics are strongly associated with patient outcomes. In this study, we developed and validated a flexible, open-access pipeline integrating available deep learning-based segmentation models with pre- and postprocessi...

Method of Forearm Muscles 3D Modeling Using Robotic Ultrasound Scanning.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The accurate assessment of muscle morphology and function is crucial for medical diagnostics, rehabilitation, and biomechanical research. This study presents a novel methodology for constructing volumetric models of forearm muscles based on three-dim...

A muscle synergy-based method to improve robot-assisted movements.

Scientific reports
There is increasing interest in using assistive robotic devices to support motor re-learning and recovery in individuals with neurological impairments. These robots aim to enhance overall motor control by providing adaptive assistance. However, using...

TrustEMG-Net: Using Representation-Masking Transformer With U-Net for Surface Electromyography Enhancement.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Surface electromyography (sEMG) is a widely employed bio-signal that captures human muscle activity via electrodes placed on the skin. Several studies have proposed methods to remove sEMG contaminants, as non-invasive measurements render sEMG suscept...

5-Repurposed Drug Candidates Identified in Motor Neurons and Muscle Tissues with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis by Network Biology and Machine Learning Based on Gene Expression.

Neuromolecular medicine
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that leads to motor neuron degeneration, muscle weakness, and respiratory failure. Despite ongoing research, effective treatments for ALS are limited. This study aimed to...

A novel skeletal muscle quantitative method and deep learning-based sarcopenia diagnosis for cervical cancer patients treated with radiotherapy.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Sarcopenia is associated with decreased survival in cervical cancer patients treated with radiotherapy. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) was widely used in image-guided radiotherapy. Sarcopenia is assessed by the skeletal muscle index...

A Systematic Review of Surface Electromyography in Sarcopenia: Muscles Involved, Signal Processing Techniques, Significant Features, and Artificial Intelligence Approaches.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Sarcopenia, affecting between 1-29% of the older population, is characterized by an age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass and function. Reduced muscle strength, either in terms of quantity or quality, and poor physical performance are among the cr...

Soft Biological Actuators for Meter-Scale Homeostatic Biohybrid Robots.

Chemical reviews
Skeletal muscle's elegant protein-based architecture powers motion throughout the animal kingdom, with its constituent actomyosin complexes driving intra- and extra-cellular motion. Classical motors and recently developed soft actuators cannot match ...

Leveraging Extended Windows in End-to-End Deep Learning for Improved Continuous Myoelectric Locomotion Prediction.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Current surface electromyography (sEMG) methods for locomotion mode prediction face limitations in anticipatory capability due to computation delays and constrained window lengths typically below 500 ms-a practice historically tied to stationarity re...
