Sarcopenia refers to a neuromuscular disease characterized by age-related declines in muscle mass and function. Since Professor Rosenberg first introduced the concept of sarcopenia in 1989, numerous operational paradigms have been proposed, tested, and validated against negative outcomes. The most recent recommendations advocate that dynapenia, or reduced of muscle strength, should be used alongside low muscle mass for the identification of sarcopenia.

Objectives: Grounded in the Health Empowerment Model, which posits that health literacy and patient empowerment are intertwined yet distinct constructs, this study investigates how the interplay of these factors influences attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help in members of online communities for mental health (OCMHs). This while acknowledging the multidimensionality of patient empowerment, encompassing meaningfulness, competence, self-determination, and impact.

Millions of individuals surviving a stroke have lifelong gait impairments that reduce their personal independence and quality of life. Reduced walking speed is one of the major problems limiting community mobility and reintegration. Previous studies have shown positive effect of robot-assisted gait training utilizing hip exoskeletons for individuals with gait impairments due to a stroke, leading to increased walking speed in post-treatment compared to pre-treatment assessments.

Diffusion models, variational autoencoders, and generative adversarial networks (GANs) are three common types of generative artificial intelligence models for image generation. Among these, GANs are the most frequently used for medical image generation and are often employed for data augmentation in various studies. However, due to the adversarial nature of GANs, where the generator and discriminator compete against each other, the training process can sometimes end with the model unable to generate meaningful images or even producing noise.

It has been established that steady supply of energy to various sectors of the economy is critical for societal growth and development. According to recent figures, barely one-third of the whole population in Sub-Saharan Africa has access to electricity, making the region the poorest in the world in terms of access to electrical power today. This stands in stark contrast to the vast energy resources that could be utilized to provide the necessary energy.
