Background: Pain inhibits rehabilitation. In rehabilitation at medical institutions, the usefulness of virtual reality (VR) has been reported in many cases to alleviate pain. In recent years, the demand for home rehabilitation has increased.

A body-centered cubic (bcc) FeCo(B) is a current standard magnetic material for perpendicular magnetic tunnel junctions (-MTJs) showing both large tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) and high interfacial perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) when MgO is utilized as a barrier material of -MTJs. Since the -MTJ is a key device of current spintronics memory, . spin-transfer-torque magnetoresistive random access memory (STT-MRAM), it attracts attention for further advance to explore new magnetic materials showing both large PMA and TMR.

Article Synopsis
  • This study focused on the protein levels of HTRA1 and TGF-β in the vitreous humor of patients suffering from various chorioretinal vascular diseases compared to control patients.
  • It found that HTRA1 and VEGF levels were significantly higher in the disease group, while TGF-β2 levels showed no significant difference between groups.
  • The research highlighted a strong correlation between HTRA1 and TGF-β2 levels, suggesting a potential relationship worth further investigation.

This study investigated whether machine learning (ML) has better predictive accuracy than logistic regression analysis (LR) for gait independence at discharge in subacute stroke patients (n = 843) who could not walk independently at admission. We developed prediction models using LR and five ML algorithms-specifically, the decision tree (DT), support vector machine, artificial neural network, ensemble learning, and k-nearest neighbor methods. Functional Independence Measure sub-items were used to evaluate the ability to walk independently.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the corneal characteristics of Japanese patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), focusing on those diagnosed with clinical neuromuscular symptoms and specific genetic markers.
  • Researchers compared the corneal health of 10 DM1 patients to 37 healthy participants using advanced eye examination techniques.
  • Findings indicate that DM1 patients exhibited mild corneal issues similar to Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy, with a significantly higher average endothelial cell density compared to the control group.
