Introduction: Freezing of gait (FOG) is one of the most debilitating motor symptoms experienced by patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). FOG detection is possible using acceleration data from wearable sensors, and a convolutional neural network (CNN) is often used to determine the presence of FOG epochs. We compared the performance of a standard CNN for the detection of FOG with two more complex networks, which are well suited for time series data, the MiniRocket and the InceptionTime.

Background: Cueing strategies can alleviate freezing of gait (FOG) in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). We evaluated tactile cueing delivered via vibrating socks, which has the benefit of not being noticeable to bystanders.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of tactile cueing compared to auditory cueing on FOG.

Sexual minority (SM) individuals experience a disproportionate health burden relative to their heterosexual peers; however, less is known about their experience of insomnia. The sample consisted of a subset of students,  = 1543, = 21.25 years,  = 3.

Background: Freezing of gait, a disabling episodic symptom, is difficult to assess as the exact begin- and endpoint of an episode is not easy to specify. This hampers scientific and clinical progress. The current golden standard is video annotation by two independent raters.

Background: The diagnosis of borderline personality disorder (BPD) consists of extreme emotional dysregulation and long-term disability when left untreated. It is associated with ineffective use of health care systems and mismanaged care in emergency departments, which can result in a revolving door phenomenon of urgent system usage, poor treatment outcomes, or patients falling out of care entirely-all of which primarily affect patients with BPD as well as their caregivers and clinicians. This crisis must be addressed with a comprehensive understanding of key stakeholder perspectives on the challenges of the system and potential solutions.
