Genetic polymorphisms of and are associated with hip osteoarthritis in the Chinese population.

A large genome-wide analyses of UK Biobank data reported 15 novel associated with the susceptibility of hip osteoarthritis (HOA). We aimed to replicate the association of these with HOA in the Chinese population. A total of 13 Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms were genotyped in 892 HOA patients and 1123 healthy controls.

Motion intention recognition of the affected hand based on the sEMG and improved DenseNet network.

The key to sEMG (surface electromyography)-based control of robotic hands is the utilization of sEMG signals from the affected hand of amputees to infer their motion intentions. With the advancements in deep learning, researchers have successfully developed viable solutions for CNN (Convolutional Neural Network)-based gesture recognition. However, most studies have primarily concentrated on utilizing sEMG data from the hands of healthy subjects, often relying on high-dimensional feature vectors obtained from a substantial number of electrodes.
