Article Synopsis
- * A study examined 131 female patients with X-linked dominant incontinentia pigmenti (IP), finding that 36% produced autoantibodies against IFN-α and/or IFN-ω, significantly higher than age-matched controls.
- * The presence of these autoantibodies is linked to an abnormally small thymus and predisposes patients to life-threatening viral infections, while those without these autoantibodies do not face the same risk.
Gait-Oriented Post-Stroke Rehabilitation Tasks Online Trajectory Generation for 1-DOF Hip Lower-Limb Exoskeleton.
IEEE Int Conf Rehabil Robot
September 2023
Article Synopsis
- Lower limb exoskeletons are gaining attention for post-stroke rehabilitation, often used alongside traditional physiotherapy during the subacute phase for gait training.
- The main challenge in gait training is generating reference trajectories, which typically mimic the average walking patterns of healthy individuals.
- This paper presents an online trajectory generation (OTG) algorithm that replicates the movement paths of therapists during rehabilitation tasks, with experimental results demonstrating its effectiveness at a 500µs cycle time.
Germanium (Ge) is increasingly used as a substrate for high-performance optoelectronics, photovoltaics, and electronic devices. These devices are usually grown on thick and rigid Ge substrates manufactured by classical wafering techniques. Nanomembranes (NMs) provide an alternative to this approach while offering wafer-scale lateral dimensions, weight reduction, waste limitation, and cost effectiveness.

Areas Covered: Microcytic anemias with a focus on the most frequent causes and on monogenic diseases that are relevant for understanding biocellular mechanisms of MA.
Article Synopsis
- Gestational choriocarcinoma (GC) is a serious tumor connected to hydatidiform moles, with NLRP7 being a key gene linked to its development and immune response.
- *Research shows that NLRP7 can operate through different pathways, significantly influencing cancer cell survival and aggressive traits in tumor cells compared to non-tumor cells.
- *Finding that NLRP7 plays a crucial role in GC growth suggests it could be a valuable target for new treatment strategies for resistant patients.
