Enhancing prosthetic control through high-fidelity myoelectric mapping with molecular anchoring technology by Pan, Liang, Wang, Hui, Huang, Pingao, Wu, Xuwei, Tang, Zihan, Jiang, Ying, Ji, Shaobo, Cao, Jinwei, Ji, Baohua, Li, Guanglin, Li, Dechang, Wang, Zhiming, Chen, Xiaodong

“…Precise and agile control requires low-level myoelectric signals (below 10% of maximum voluntary contraction, MVC) from weak muscle contractions such as phantom finger or wrist movements, but imbalanced calcium concentration in atrophic skin can distort the signals. This is due to poor ionic-electronic coupling between skin and electrode, which often causes excessive muscle contraction, fatigue, and discomfort during delicate tasks. …”

Liquid state machine with dendritically enhanced readout for low-power, neuromorphic VLSI implementations by Roy, Subhrajit, Banerjee, Amitava, Basu, Arindam

“…We show that compared to a single perceptron using analog weights, this architecture for the readout can attain, even by using the same number of binary valued synapses, up to 3.3 times less error for a two-class spike train classification problem and 2.4 times less error for an input rate approximation task. …”

Characterising the T cell responses to SARS-CoV-2 including variants of concern induced by natural infection and vaccines by Adele, S

“…Chapter 4 expands on T cell responses to VOCs, showing that vaccinated individuals maintain significant T cell reactivity across VOCs despite spike protein mutations that diminish antibody neutralization efficacy. …”

Detecting Human Memory Processes via Bio-Signals by Abdelrahman, Mona Magdy

“…Signals such as heart rate (derived from PPG) and skin conductance (derived from EDA) have also been previously evaluated to have correlations with different states of memory. …”

Filamentation of a relativistic proton bunch in plasma by Verra, L, Amoedo, C, Torrado, N, Clairembaud, A, Mezger, J, Pannell, F, Pucek, J, van Gils, N, Bergamaschi, M, Zevi Della Porta, G, Lopes, N, Sublet, A, Turner, M, Gschwendtner, E, Muggli, P, Agnello, R, Ahdida, CC, Andrebe, Y, Apsimon, O, Apsimon, R, Arnesano, JM, Bencini, V, Blanchard, P, Burrows, PN, Buttenschön, B, Caldwell, A, Chung, M, Cooke, DA, Davut, C, Demeter, G, Dexter, AC, Doebert, S, Farmer, J, Fasoli, A, Fonseca, R, Furno, I, Granados, E, Granetzny, M, Graubner, T, Grulke, O, Guran, E, Henderson, J, Kedves, MÁ, Kraus, F, Krupa, M, Lefevre, T, Liang, L, Liu, S, Lotov, K, Pakuza, C, Ramjiawan, RL, Spear, B

“…We determine a threshold value for the ratio between the bunch transverse size and plasma skin depth for the instability to occur. At the threshold, the outcome of the experiment alternates between filamentation and self-modulation instability (evidenced by longitudinal modulation into microbunches). …”

The retinoid agonist Tazarotene promotes angiogenesis and wound healing by Al Haj Zen, A, Nawrot, DA, Howarth, AL, Caporali, A, Ebner, D, Vernet, A, Schneider, JE, Bhattacharya, S

“…Notably, in ear punch wound healing model, Tazarotene promoted tissue repair characterized by rapid ear punch closure with normal-appearing skin containing new hair follicles, and maturing collagen fibers. …”

Vitamin D in Gambian children with discordant tuberculosis (TB) infection status despite matched TB exposure: a case control study by Stockdale, L, Sambou, B, Sissoko, M, Egere, U, Sillah, AK, Kampmann, B, Basu Roy, R

“…Using a matched case control design conducted at MRC Gambia in 2015, we measured vitamin D levels in pairs of asymptomatic children with discordant tuberculin skin test status despite the same sleeping proximity to the same adult TB index case. …”

Cardiocutaneous syndrome is caused by aggregation of iASPP mutants by Lotz, R, Osterburg, C, Schäfer, B, Lu, X, Dötsch, V

“…Germline mutations in iASPP have been shown to cause cardiocutaneous syndromes, a combination of heart and skin defects usually leading to death before the age of five. …”

Rationale and concerns for using JAK inhibitors in axial spondyloarthritis by Ahmed, S, Yesudian, R, Ubaide, H, Coates, LC

“…It is initially manifested by inflammatory back pain and can be associated with inflammation in other body parts, such as the eyes, bowel and skin. Treatment options have advanced over recent years and have become more targeted, including biologic treatments and, more recently, small molecule oral drugs called Janus kinase inhibitors. …”
