One of the reasons that high heels may contribute to the formation of halux valgus is that the wearers pronate during propulsion. This pilot study was performed to determine whether relocation of the heel under the counter of a fashion high-heeled pump could change the degree of pronation of the foot during the gait cycle. The authors report that more foot stability was experienced by the subjects when the center of the heel was offset between 2 and 4 mm medial to the center of the heel counter. This study is designed to promote further research into whether the shoe industry should change the design parameters of high-heeled fashion shoes in order to improve foot function.

This paper reviews dilemmas and implications of erroneous data for clinical implementation of AI. It is well-known that if erroneous and biased data are used to train AI, there is a risk of systematic error. However, even perfectly trained AI applications can produce faulty outputs if fed with erroneous inputs.

Objective: There is little consistency between commercial grade footwear brands for determining shoe sizing, and no universally accepted descriptors of common types or features of footwear. The primary aim of this research was to develop a footwear taxonomy about the agreed types of footwear commonly worn by children under the age of six. Secondary aims were to gain consensus of the common footwear features, when different types of footwear would be commonly worn, common terms for key footwear parts, and how movement at some of these footwear parts should be described.

Proteogenomics refers to the integrated analysis of the genome and proteome that leverages mass-spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics data to improve genome annotations, understand gene expression control through proteoforms and find sequence variants to develop novel insights for disease classification and therapeutic strategies. However, proteogenomic studies often suffer from reduced sensitivity and specificity due to inflated database size. To control the error rates, proteogenomics depends on the target-decoy search strategy, the de-facto method for false discovery rate (FDR) estimation in proteomics.

Pioneer factors are transcription factors with the unique ability to initiate opening of closed chromatin. The stability of cell identity relies on robust mechanisms that maintain the epigenome and chromatin accessibility to transcription factors. Pioneer factors counter these mechanisms to implement new cell fates through binding of DNA target sites in closed chromatin and introduction of active-chromatin histone modifications, primarily at enhancers.
