Automatic rehabilitation assessment method of upper limb motor function based on posture and distribution force.

The clinical rehabilitation assessment methods for hemiplegic upper limb motor function are often subjective, time-consuming, and non-uniform. This study proposes an automatic rehabilitation assessment method for upper limb motor function based on posture and distributed force measurements. Azure Kinect combined with MediaPipe was used to detect upper limb and hand movements, and the array distributed flexible thin film pressure sensor was employed to measure the distributed force of hand.

Improved spatial-temporal graph convolutional networks for upper limb rehabilitation assessment based on precise posture measurement.

After regular rehabilitation training, paralysis sequelae can be significantly reduced in patients with limb movement disorders caused by stroke. Rehabilitation assessment is the basis for the formulation of rehabilitation training programs and the objective standard for evaluating the effectiveness of training. However, the quantitative rehabilitation assessment is still in the experimental stage and has not been put into clinical practice.

Meta-analysis of neurocognitive rehabilitation for cognitive dysfunction among pediatric cancer survivors.

Cancer and its treatment significantly affect the cognitive functioning of pediatric cancer survivors. This meta-analysis aimed to examine the effects of neurocognitive rehabilitation interventions on the cognitive functioning and intellectual performance of pediatric cancer survivors. Four databases were searched until December 15, 2021.

Predictors of extubation outcomes among extremely and very preterm infants: a retrospective cohort study.

Objective: To explore the clinical or sociodemographic predictors for both successful and failed extubation among Chinese extremely and very preterm infants METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was carried out among extremely and very preterm infants born at less than 32 weeks of gestational age (GA).

Results: Compared with the infants who experienced extubation failure, the successful infants had higher birth weight (OR 0.997; CI 0.

Management and implementation strategies of pre-screening triage in children during coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic in Guangzhou, China.

Background: Emerging infectious diseases are a constant threat to the public's health and health care systems around the world. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-2019), which was defined by the World Health Organization as pandemic, has rapidly emerged as a global health threat. Outbreak evolution and prevention of international implications require substantial flexibility of frontline health care facilities in their response.

Characteristics of Nosocomial Infections in Children Screened for SARS-CoV-2 Infection in China.

BACKGROUND This study summarizes the characteristics of children screened for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and reports the case of 1 child who was diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection in Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center and the cases of his family members. MATERIAL AND METHODS The medical records of 159 children who were admitted to our hospital from January 23 to March 20, 2020, were retrospectively analyzed. Samples from pharyngeal or/and anal swabs were subjected to reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) testing for SARS-CoV-2 within 12 h of patient admission; a second RT-PCR test was done 24 h after the first test.

Circulating "LncPPARδ" From Monocytes as a Novel Biomarker for Coronary Artery Diseases.

To investigate long noncoding RNA NONHSAT112178 (LncPPARδ) as a biomarker for coronary artery disease (CAD) in peripheral blood monocyte cells, RT-qPCR was performed to validate the microarray results, receiver operating characteristic curve was applied to study the potential of LncPPARδ as a biomarker. Diagnostic models from LncPPARδ alone or combination of risk factors were constructed by Fisher criteria. The expression of genes neighboring the LncPPARδ gene was examined with RT-qPCR in THP-1 cell line treated with LncPPARδ siRNA.
