Increased Upper Extremity Muscle Mass in Ambulatory Children with Cerebral Palsy.

Aim: To compare muscle mass in the upper and lower extremities between ambulatory children with cerebral palsy (CP) and typically developing (TD) children.

Materials And Methods: A total of 21 children aged 2 to 12 years with CP and a Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) level of I, II, or III were matched with 21 TD children for age, sex, and body mass index. The lean body mass (LBM) of each extremity was calculated from whole-body dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry.

Syringomyelia: A New Phenotype of -Related Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia?

Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) refers to a group of neurodegenerative disorders affecting motor neurons in the central nervous system. HSP type 11 is the most frequent subtype of autosomal recessive HSPs. Caused by pathogenic variants in , HSP type 11 has a heterogeneous clinical presentation, including various degrees of cognitive dysfunction, spasticity and weakness predominantly in the lower extremities among other features.

Development of a machine learning-based clinical decision support system to predict clinical deterioration in patients visiting the emergency department.

This study aimed to develop a machine learning-based clinical decision support system for emergency departments based on the decision-making framework of physicians. We extracted 27 fixed and 93 observation features using data on vital signs, mental status, laboratory results, and electrocardiograms during emergency department stay. Outcomes included intubation, admission to the intensive care unit, inotrope or vasopressor administration, and in-hospital cardiac arrest.

Case Report: The success of face analysis technology in extremely rare genetic diseases in Korea: Tatton-Brown-Rahman syndrome and Say-Barber -Biesecker-Young-Simpson variant of ohdo syndrome.

Tatton-Brown-Rahman syndrome (TBRS) and Say-Barber-Biesecker- Young-Simpson variant of Ohdo syndrome (SBBYSS) are extremely rare genetic disorders with less than 100 reported cases. Patients with these disorders exhibit a characteristic facial dysmorphism: TBRS is characterized by a round face, a straight and thick eyebrow, and prominent maxillary incisors, whereas SBBYSS is characterized by mask-like facies, blepharophimosis, and ptosis. The usefulness of Face2Gene as a tool for the identification of dysmorphology syndromes is discussed, because, in these patients, it suggested TBRS and SBBYSS within the top five candidate disorders.

A feasible strategy to prepare quantum dot-incorporated carbon nanofibers as free-standing platforms.

Recently, quantum dots (QDs) have often garnered significant attention and have been employed for various applications. Nevertheless, most conventional devices utilize a glass substrate and/or brittle substrate, which is not compatible with next-generation wearable electronics. A suitable method for devising conductive and flexible free-standing platforms that can be combined with various kinds of QDs is thus in great need for next-generation wearable electronics.

Mixture of quantum dots and ZnS nanoparticles as emissive layer for improved quantum dots light emitting diodes.

Recently, quantum dots based light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) have received huge attention due to the properties of quantum dots (QDs), such as high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) and narrow emission. To improve the performance of QLEDs, reducing non-radiative energy transfer is critical. So far, most conventional methods required additional chemical treatment like giant shell and/or ligands exchange.
