Lower limb exoskeletons and exosuits ("exos") are traditionally designed with a strong focus on mechatronics and actuation, whereas the "human side" is often disregarded or minimally modeled. Muscle biomechanics principles and skeletal muscle response to robot-delivered loads should be incorporated in design/control of exos. In this narrative review, we summarize the advances in literature with respect to the fusion of muscle biomechanics and lower limb exoskeletons.

  • The study looked at how soy extract and a hormone called estradiol affect memory and learning in rats that had surgery to remove their ovaries.
  • The researchers gave different groups of rats either soy, estradiol, or a control treatment before testing their ability to find a platform in a water maze.
  • The results showed that both soy and estradiol helped improve memory and protect the brain from damage caused by a drug that makes it harder to learn.

Cervical cancer is among the most common type of cancers in women and is associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Genital warts are also reported to be linked with HPV infection types 11 and 6. In turn, clinical characteristics and morphological features of warts may be useful in the prediction of prognosis and in making treatment decisions.
