  • Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by slow movement, and while there is no cure, early detection can improve outcomes.
  • Vision-based methods for PD detection focus on analyzing gait, utilizing both appearance-based and model-based approaches.
  • A new method that combines these two approaches has shown promising results, achieving an AUC of 0.87 and F1-Scores of 0.82 in distinguishing between normal and Parkinsonian gait.

In this study, we detected the expression levels of miR-21 in 38 clinical urine samples, obtained from 10 patients with PCa (with each sample obtained at three time points: before surgery, 1 month after surgery, and 3 months after surgery), 3 patients with benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), and 5 healthy subjects (as a control group). All of the samples were examined using a silver nanoparticle-based biosensor, and the sensitivity of the biosensor was simultaneously confirmed via qRT-PCR. The results were further analyzed together with clinical data such as PSA values and cancer stages.
