Efficient Development of Gait Classification Models for Five-Gaited Horses Based on Mobile Phone Sensors.

Automated gait classification has traditionally been studied using horse-mounted sensors. However, smartphone-based sensors are more accessible, but the performance of gait classification models using data from such sensors has not been widely known or accessible. In this study, we performed horse gait classification using deep learning models and data from mobile phone sensors located in the rider's pocket.

Internet-based vestibular rehabilitation versus standard care after acute onset vertigo: a study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Dizziness and vertigo affect around 15% of adults annually and represent common reasons for contacting health services, accounting for around 3% of all emergency department visits worldwide. Vertigo is also associated with excessive use of diagnostic imaging and emergency care and decreased productivity, primarily because of work absenteeism. Vestibular rehabilitation is an evidence-based treatment for chronic dizziness and supervised group exercise therapy has recently been shown to be effective after vestibular neuritis, a common cause of acute onset vertigo.

A glucose-stimulated BOLD fMRI study of hypothalamic dysfunction in mice fed a high-fat and high-sucrose diet.

The hypothalamus is the central regulator of energy homeostasis. Hypothalamic neuronal circuits are disrupted upon overfeeding, and play a role in the development of metabolic disorders. While mouse models have been extensively employed for understanding the mechanisms of hypothalamic dysfunction, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) on hypothalamic nuclei has been challenging.

Microdialysis-based long-term measurements of energy-related metabolites in the rat brain following a fluid percussion trauma.

The aim of the study was to evaluate an experimental approach based on a fluid percussion rat trauma model in combination with the microdialysis technique for the analysis of cerebral interstitial biochemical alterations following head trauma, and to test the hypothesis that the previously observed acute accumulation of lactate and increase in the lactate pyruvate ratio may persist for several days following trauma. We analyzed how lactate, pyruvate, and glucose were altered in the cortex adjacent to the contusion and in the contralateral side of the brain following a traumatic brain injury. The results were compared with those from sham-operated animals.
