The Potential Benefits of Acute Aronia Juice Supplementation on Physical Activity Induced Alterations of the Serum Protein Profiles in Recreational Runners: A Pilot Study.

Intensive physical activity (PA) can lead to proteinuria and, consequently, serum protein profiles in athletes. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of acute aronia juice consumption before a simulated half-marathon race on serum protein profiles in recreational runners. The pilot study was designed as a single-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study, with 10 male participants who consumed aronia juice (containing 1.

Health data sharing attitudes towards primary and secondary use of data: a systematic review.

Background: To receive the best care, people share their health data (HD) with their health practitioners (known as sharing HD for primary purposes). However, during the past two decades, sharing for other (i.e.

Evaluating the impact of reinforcement learning on automatic deep brain stimulation planning.

Purpose: Traditional techniques for automating the planning of brain electrode placement based on multi-objective optimization involving many parameters are subject to limitations, especially in terms of sensitivity to local optima, and tend to be replaced by machine learning approaches. This paper explores the feasibility of using deep reinforcement learning (DRL) in this context, starting with the single-electrode use-case of deep brain stimulation (DBS).

Methods: We propose a DRL approach based on deep Q-learning where the states represent the electrode trajectory and associated information, and actions are the possible motions.
