Article Synopsis
  • This study explores the use of machine learning to analyze gait adaptability in stroke patients, aiming to create models that can identify individuals with gait adaptability disorders (GAD).
  • It involved 30 stroke patients and 50 healthy adults, assessing their gait on a treadmill through tasks like slalom walking and obstacle avoidance.
  • The findings revealed that stroke patients had significantly impaired gait characteristics compared to healthy individuals, with the AdaCost ML model showing promising accuracy in distinguishing between those with and without GAD.

Background: Inflammation and liver function are associated with cognitive decline and dementia. Little is known about the serum albumin-to-globulin ratio on cognitive function.

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the association between albumin-to-globulin ratio and cognitive function among the American older people.

Gait adaptability is essential for stroke survivors to achieve efficient and safe community ambulation. However, conventional treadmill rehabilitation is only a repetitive practice of leg movement. This study compared the effects of augmented reality treadmill-based gait adaptation training with regular treadmill programs for patients with stroke.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study systematically reviews the efficacy and safety of vadadustat versus darbepoetin alfa for treating anemia in chronic kidney disease (CKD) in both nondialysis-dependent (NDD-CKD) and dialysis-dependent (DD-CKD) patients.
  • - Results indicated that while darbepoetin alfa significantly increased hemoglobin levels more than vadadustat in DD-CKD patients, there was no significant difference in hemoglobin changes for NDD-CKD patients.
  • - Both agents showed similar safety profiles with no significant differences in the need for red blood cell transfusions or serious adverse events, suggesting that vadadustat may not be as effective as darbepoetin alfa in DD-CKD patients but

Purpose: Both repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) and transcutaneous electrical current stimulation (TES) could elicit the limb movements; it is still unclear how subjective sensation is changed according to the amount of limb movements. We investigated the pain and discomfort induced by newly developed rPMS and TES of peripheral nerves in the dorsal forearm.

Methods: The subjects were 12 healthy adults.
