According to news origina ting from Kelantan, Malaysia, by NewsRx correspondents, researchstated, “Stroke has emerged as the leading cause of disability globally. The provision of long- termrehabilitation to stroke survivors poses a health care burden to many count ries.”Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from University Sains Ma laysia, “Roboticdevices have created a major turning point in stroke rehabilita tion program. Currently, the anthropometricevidence to support the benefit of robotic rehabilitation (RR) among stroke patients is scarce. Therefore,the aim o f this study was to evaluate the impact of RR on the mid-thigh circumferences of the pareticlimbs in stroke patients. Twenty stroke patients from conventional rehabilitation (CR) (n = 10) and RR(n = 10) groups were recruited through a pur posive sampling method. Patients in the CR group receiveda two-hour session of a five-day-a-week home-based CR program for 4 weeks. Patients in the RR groupre ceived a five-day-a-week of an hour combined physiotherapy and occupational ther apy session anda one-hour robotic therapy session using the HAL? Cyberdyne lowe r-limb, for 4 weeks. The mid-thighcircumferences of both limbs were measured on day 1 (baseline), week 2 and week 4 of rehabilitationprogram. The results reve aled no statistically significant difference in the mid-thigh circumferences between the paretic (F = 1.96, p = 0.20), and the normal (F = 1.96, p = 0.20) sides in the CR group (n= 10). For the comparison between the paretic and normal sid es in the RR group (n = 10), the pareticmid-thigh circumferences revealed signi ficant time effect results (F = 11.91, p = 0.001), which were dueto changes bet ween baseline and week 2, and baseline and week 4 measurements. Interestingly, t henormal mid-thigh circumferences also revealed a significant time effect (F = 6.56, p = 0.007), which isdue to changes between baseline and week 4. One-way a nalysis of variance was employed to comparethe mean average between groups due to the difference in the baseline measurements of the mid-thighcircumferences b etween the paretic side of the CR and the RR groups. With this adjustment, the a veragemeans mid-thigh circumferences after 4 weeks of therapy were shown to be significantly different betweenthe CR and RR groups (F = 12.49, p = 0.02). Sign ificant increments in the mid-thigh circumferencesfollowing RR were seen in the paretic limbs of stroke patients.”

According to news reportingfrom Beijing, People’s Republic of China, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, “Existing tensegrityrobot modeli ng predominantly relies on cable length as the primary control input, making it intractable forimplementation on motor-driven physical systems. In addition, th e current models lack precise formulationsfor intricate environmental interacti ons, such as ground contact forces during deformation and rollingmaneuvers.”Financial support for this research came from National Key Research and Developm ent Program ofChina.The news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from the Beijing Inst itute of Technology,“To bridge these gaps, our study proposes a practicable mod eling approach tailored for six-bartensegrity robots within the Port-Hamiltonia n framework. We address the internal forces stemming frominterconnected bars an d cables by elegantly formulating them as Hamiltonian expressions. Central to our modeling is the versatile ‘port’, encompassing contact and friction forces, an d motor-driven propulsion.These considerations exhibit a broad applicability to cable-driven tensegrity robots, facilitating the straightforwarddeployment of controllers on real-world robotic platforms. The system parameters are identifie dvia experiments on our prototype tensegrity robot, with results aligning close ly with theoretical analyses.”

According to news reportingoriginating from Beijing, People ’s Republic of China, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “Weaimed to de velop and validate a predictive model for identifying long-term survivors (LTS) among glioblastoma(GB) patients, defined as those with an overall survival (OS) of more than 3 years. A total of 293GB patients from CGGA and 169 from TCGA da tabase were assigned to training and validation cohort,respectively.”Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from Peking Union Medical Co llege Hospital,“The differences in expression of immune checkpoint genes (ICGs) and immune infiltration landscape werecompared between LTS and short time surv ivor (STS) (OS <1.5 years). The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) were used to identify the genesdifferentially expressed between LTS and STS. Three differen t machine learning algorithms were employedto select the predictive genes from the overlapping region of DEGs and WGCNA to construct the nomogram.The comparis on between LTS and STS revealed that STS exhibited an immune-resistant status, w ithhigher expression of ICGs (P <0.05) and greater infiltr ation of immune suppression cells compared to LTS(P <0.05) . Four genes, namely, OSMR, FMOD, CXCL14, and TIMP1, were identified and incorpo ratedinto the nomogram, which possessed good potential in predicting LTS probab ility among GB patientsboth in the training (C-index, 0.791; 0.772-0.817) and v alidation cohort (C-index, 0.770; 0.751-0.806).STS was found to be more likely to exhibit an immune-cold phenotype.”

    Copenhagen University Hospital Reports Findings in Biomarkers (Multimodal brain age prediction using machine learning: combining structural MRI and 5-HT2AR PET- derived features)

    116-116页
    查看更多>>摘要:By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning DailyNews Daily News - New research on Diagnostics and Screen ing - Biomarkers is the subject of a report.According to news originating from Copenhagen, Denmark, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated,“To better asses s the pathology of neurodegenerative disorders and the efficacy of neuroprotecti ve interventions,it is necessary to develop biomarkers that can accurately capt ure age-related biological changesin the human brain. Brain serotonin 2A recept ors (5-HT2AR) show a particularly profound age-relateddecline and are also redu ced in neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease.”Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Copenhagen Universi ty Hospital, “Thisstudy investigates whether the decline in 5-HT2AR binding, me asured in vivo using positron emissiontomography (PET), can be used as a biomar ker for brain aging. Specifically, we aim to (1) predict brainage using 5-HT2AR binding outcomes, (2) compare 5-HT2AR-based predictions of brain age to predict ionsbased on gray matter (GM) volume, as determined with structural magnetic re sonance imaging (MRI),and (3) investigate whether combining 5-HT2AR and GM volu me data improves prediction. We used PETand MR images from 209 healthy individu als aged between 18 and 85 years (mean = 38, std = 18) andestimated 5-HT2AR bin ding and GM volume for 14 cortical and subcortical regions. Different machine learning algorithms were applied to predict chronological age based on 5-HT2AR bin ding, GM volume, andthe combined measures. The mean absolute error (MAE) and a cross-validation approach were used forevaluation and model comparison. We find that both the cerebral 5-HT2AR binding (mean MAE = 6.63years, std = 0.74 years ) and GM volume (mean MAE = 6.95 years, std = 0.83 years) predict chronologicalage accurately. Combining the two measures improves the prediction further (mean MAE = 5.54 years,std = 0.68).”

According to news reporting originating in Shanghai, People’s Republic of China, by NewsRxjournal ists, research stated, “Cholestasis, characterized by the obstruction of bile fl ow, poses a significantconcern in neonates and infants. It can result in jaundi ce, inadequate weight gain, and liver dysfunction.”The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from the Shanghai Jiao Ton g University Schoolof Medicine, “However, distinguishing between biliary atresi a (BA) and non-biliary atresia in these youngpatients presenting with cholestas is poses a formidable challenge, given the similarity in their clinicalmanifest ations. To this end, our study endeavors to construct a screening model aimed at prognosticatingoutcomes in cases of BA. Within this study, we introduce a wrap per feature selection model denotedas bWFMVO-SVM-FS, which amalgamates the wate r flow-based multi-verse optimizer (WFMVO) andsupport vector machine (SVM) tech nology. Initially, WFMVO is benchmarked against eleven state-of-theartalgorith ms, with its efficiency in searching for optimized feature subsets within the mo del validated onIEEE CEC 2017 and IEEE CEC 2022 benchmark functions. Subsequent ly, the developed bWFMVO-SVMFSmodel is employed to analyze a cohort of 870 con secutively registered cases of neonates and infants withcholestasis (diagnosed as either BA or non-BA) from Xinhua Hospital and Shanghai Children’s Hospital,b oth affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University. The results underscore the re markable predictivecapacity of the model, achieving an accuracy of 92.639 % and specificity of 88.865 %. Gamma-glutamyltransferase, triangular cord sign, weight, abnormal gallbladder, and stool color emerge as highly corre latedwith early symptoms in BA infants.”
