Gait asymmetry in post-stroke patients is an important gait characteristic that is associated with their balance control, inefficiency, and risks of musculoskeletal injury to the non-paretic lower limb and falling. Unfortunately, most stroke patients retain an asymmetrical gait pattern, even though their gait independence and gait speed improve. We describe the clinical course of a subacute stroke patient who achieved a symmetrical gait at discharge after undergoing both gait training with orthoses and robot-assisted gait training from the early intervention phase.

Methods: Using a dataset containing 1243, 3645, and 1468 articles funded by the NIH, MRC, and JSPS, respectively, we analyzed the correlation between disciplinary diversity and RO in allergy and immunology programs that received grants from 2017 to 2021. Diversity was measured using All Science Journal Classification codes counts, Shannon-Wiener index, and newly developed Omnidisciplinary index (o-index).
Aberrant immune responses to viral pathogens contribute to pathogenesis, but our understanding of pathological immune responses caused by viruses within the human virome, especially at a population scale, remains limited. We analyzed whole-genome sequencing datasets of 6,321 Japanese individuals, including patients with autoimmune diseases (psoriasis vulgaris, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) or multiple sclerosis) and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), or healthy controls. We systematically quantified two constituents of the blood DNA virome, endogenous HHV-6 (eHHV-6) and anellovirus.

- The review highlights the significant influence of omics technologies, especially genomics and transcriptomics, on allergy and asthma research, particularly through advancements like single-cell RNA sequencing.
- It discusses how high-throughput genome sequencing has accelerated the identification of monogenic disorders previously misidentified as typical allergic diseases.
- Lastly, the text introduces emerging fields such as microbiomics and proteomics, emphasizing the potential of integrating these omics data to improve understanding of disease mechanisms and develop more effective precision medicine treatments.
Article Synopsis
- * This study analyzed data from 100 stroke patients to explore how PF and LBF change during fast walking, revealing that PF consistently increases while LBF can either rise or fall.
- * The patterns of LBF changes, particularly along with altered coordination between the shank and foot, suggest compensatory strategies that influence gait deviations in stroke patients at faster speeds.
