According to news reporting out o f Montreal, Canada, by NewsRx editors, research stated, "Psoriasis is a major gl obal health burden affecting 60 million people worldwide. Existing studies on psoriasis focused on individual-level health behaviors (e.g. diet, alcohol consu mption, smoking, exercise) and characteristics as drivers of psoriasis risk." Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from McGill University, "However, it is increasingly recognized that health behavior arises in the conte xt of larger social, cultural, economic and environmental determinants of health . We aimed to identify the top risk factors that significantly impact the incide nce of psoriasis at the neighborhood level using populational data from the prov ince of Quebec (Canada) and advanced tree-based machine learning (ML) techniques . Adult psoriasis patients were identified using International Classification of Disease (ICD)-9/10 codes from Quebec (Canada) populational databases for years 1997-2015. Data on environmental and socioeconomic factors 1 year prior to psori asis onset were obtained from the Canadian Urban Environment Health Consortium ( CANUE) and Statistics Canada (StatCan) and were input as predictors into the gra dient boosting ML. Model performance was evaluated using the area under the curv e (AUC). Parsimonious models and partial dependence plots were determined to ass ess directionality of the relationship. The incidence of psoriasis varied geogra phically from 1.6 to 325.6/100,000 person-years in Quebec. The parsimonious mode l (top 9 predictors) had an AUC of 0.77 to predict high psoriasis incidence. Amo ngst top predictors, ultraviolet (UV) radiation, maximum daily temperature, prop ortion of females, soil moisture, urbanization, and distance to expressways had a negative association with psoriasis incidence. Nighttime light brightness had a positive association, whereas social and material deprivation indices suggeste d a higher psoriasis incidence in the middle socioeconomic class neighborhoods."

Pressurizing and depressurizing the actuators generate alternating stretc hing and bending motions of the actuators, achieving the crawling motion of the robotic crawler. Multi-modal locomotion (crawling, turning, and pipe climbing) i s achieved by modular reconfiguration and gait design. An analytical kinematic m odel is proposed to characterize the quasi-static curvature and step size of a s ingle-module crawler. Multiple configurations of robotic crawlers are fabricated to demonstrate the crawling ability of the proposed design. A set of systematic experiments are set up and conducted to understand how crawler responses vary a s a function of FPC prestrains, input pressures, and actuation frequencies. As p er the experiments, the maximum carrying load ratio (carrying load divided by ro bot weight) is found to be 22.32, and the highest crawling velocity is 3.02 body length (BL) per second (392 mm/s)."
