Though POI affects many aspects of women's health, its major causes remain unknown. Many clinical studies have shown that POI patients are generally underweight, indicating a potential correlation between POI and metabolic disorders.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFInadequate trophoblastic infiltration and resulting placental hypoxia and inflammation comprise the core pathological basis of preeclampsia (PE). Maternally expressed gene 3 () is known to be involved in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia by inhibiting the migration and invasion of trophoblasts and promoting their apoptosis. Nevertheless, the specific underlying downstream molecular mechanism of is less well characterized.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFThe etiology of preeclampsia (PE) is still unknown, and excessive immune activation is an important component of its pathogenesis. Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) is one of immune checkpoints which may prevent overactivated immune attack and lead to a tolerant immune microenvironment. Little is known about the involvement of PD-1-mediated immunoregulation at the maternal-fetal interface in PE.

However, non-intuitive control interfaces using only a keyboard or joystick and physiological tremor reduce the performance of teleoperation. This paper presents an intuitive control interface based on the wearable device gForcePro+ armband.
