Cancer, a pervasive and devastating disease, remains a leading global cause of mortality, emphasizing the growing urgency for effective detection methods. Gene Expression Microarray (GEM) data has emerged as a crucial tool in this context, offering insights into early cancer detection and treatment. While deep learning methods offer promise in detecting various cancers through GEM analysis, they suffer from high dimensionality inherent in gene sequences, preventing optimal detection performance across diverse cancer types.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a neurological disorder which can result in balance and mobility impairments. Four children with spastic CP participated and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The experimental group received 1-Hz repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) four times a week for 3 weeks, and the control group received sham rTMS using the similar experimental protocol.

We aimed to characterize the impact of anti-gravity locomotion training on the structure and function of the corticospinal tract (CST) in cerebral palsy (CP). Fourteen CP children participated. Nine children were trained with an antigravity treadmill (Alter-G) and five children received occupational therapy (OT).

Ten (Males = 6, Females = 4) hemiplegic chronic stroke survivors volunteered to participate in this study, recruited from a rehabilitation centre. They completed a consent form and participated in treadmill walking tasks; flat, uphill, and crossing over a moving obstacle.

The treatment included 4 days a week of rTMS sessions for 3 weeks and 4 days of rTMS and OT sessions per week for 3 weeks.
