Artificial arms for shoulder disarticulation need a high number of degrees of freedom to be controlled. In order to control a prosthetic shoulder joint, an intention detection system based on surface electromyography (sEMG) pattern recognition methods was proposed and experimentally investigated. Signals from eight trunk muscles that are generally preserved after shoulder disarticulation were recorded from a group of eight normal subjects in nine shoulder positions. After data segmentation, four different features were extracted (sample entropy, cepstral coefficients of the 4th order, root mean square and waveform length) and classified by means of linear discriminant analysis. The classification accuracy was 92.1% and this performance reached 97.9% after reducing the positions considered to five classes. To reduce the computational cost, the two channels with the least discriminating information were neglected yielding to a classification accuracy diminished by just 4.08%.

Background: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder with childhood onset, however, there is no clear correspondence established between clinical ADHD subtypes and primary medications. Identifying objective and reliable neuroimaging markers for categorizing ADHD biotypes may lead to more individualized, biotype-guided treatment.
Methods: Here we proposed a graph convolution network for biological subtype detection (GCN-BSD) using both functional network connectivity (FNC) and non-imaging phenotypic data for ADHD biotype.

Neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, present formidable challenges in modern medicine due to their complex pathologies and the absence of curative treatments. Despite advances in symptomatic management, early diagnosis remains essential for mitigating disease progression and improving patient outcomes. Traditional diagnostic methods, such as MRI, PET, and cerebrospinal fluid biomarker analysis, are often inadequate for the early detection of these diseases.

Background: The entomopathogenic fungus, Isaria fumosorosea, shows promise as a biological control agent in managing the diamondback moth (DBM) Plutella xylostella, a highly destructive global pest of cruciferous vegetables. To date, the miRNA-mRNA regulatory networks underlying the immune response of DBM to I. fumosorosea infection are still poorly understood.

Group B (GBS) is a major cause of fetal and neonatal mortality worldwide. Many of the adverse effects of invasive GBS are associated with inflammation; therefore, understanding bacterial factors that promote inflammation is of critical importance. Membrane vesicles (MVs), which are produced by many bacteria, may modulate host inflammatory responses.

The rice E3 ubiquitin ligases OsCIE1 and IPI7 mediate the non-proteolytic polyubiquitination of the pattern-recognition receptor kinase OsCERK1 and the transcription factor IPA1, respectively, in response to Magnaporthe oryzae infection, thereby fine-tuning rice growth-immunity trade-offs.
