“…OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that supplementary motor area (SMA) facilitation with functional near-infrared spectroscopy–mediated neurofeedback (fNIRS-NFB) augments poststroke gait and balance recovery, we conducted a 2-center, double-blind, randomized controlled trial involving 54 Japanese patients using the 3-meter Timed Up and Go (TUG) test. METHODS: Patients with subcortical stroke-induced mild to moderate gait disturbance more than 12 weeks from onset underwent 6 sessions of SMA neurofeedback facilitation during gait- and balance-related motor imagery using fNIRS-NFB. …”

“…Secondary outcome measures included: evaluation of skin softness using a questionnaire and of pruritus on a visual analogue scale (VAS); clinician assessment of xerosis using Overall Dry Skin (ODS) score and measurement of skin hydration using a non-invasive device (MoistureMeterEpiD, Delfin Technologies) at each visit. Sign test and Wilcoxon signed rank test were used to analyse changes from baseline. …”

“…Regarding the second phase of the study, the results show a statistically significant difference between the initial and final evaluation of the clinical tests, which could result in better performance in aspects such as: balance, gait functionality, meter walked and cognition. Telerehabilitation Program based on Virtual Reality is an excellent alternative to provide continuity of treatment to patients with balance disorders. …”

“…Color features, spectral indices, and chlorophyll fluorescence intensity were extracted from these three types of images, and multiple linear regression models and PLSR (partial least squares regression) models were built to predict leaf chlorophyll content (measured by a handheld leaf chlorophyll meter) from the image features. RESULTS: The models with a single color feature from RGB images predicted chlorophyll content with R(2) ranging from 0.67 to 0.88. …”

“…OBJECTIVES: Dry powder inhalers (DPIs) and soft mist inhalers have a substantially lower global warming potential than pressurised metered-dose inhalers (pMDIs). To help mitigate climate change, we assessed the potential emission reduction in CO(2) equivalents when replacing pMDIs by non-propellant inhalers (NPIs) in Dutch respiratory healthcare and estimated the associated cost. …”

Our results show that the RAA/CRISPR-Cas12a-based assay could readily distinguish the signature mutations, i.e., K417N, T478K, E484K, N501Y, and D614G, with a sensitivity of 100.0% and a specificity of 94.9–100.0%, respectively. …”
