Ledged Beam Walking Test Automatic Tracker: Artificial intelligence-based functional evaluation in a stroke model.
Comput Biol Med
January 2025
Neurological Sciences and Cerebrovascular Research Laboratory, Department of Neurology and Stroke Centre, Neurology and Cerebrovascular Disease Group, Neuroscience Area La Paz Institute for Health Research (idiPAZ), (La Paz University Hospital- Universidad Autónoma de Madrid), Spain. Electronic address:
The quantitative evaluation of motor function in experimental stroke models is essential for the preclinical assessment of new therapeutic strategies that can be transferred to clinical research; however, conventional assessment tests are hampered by the evaluator's subjectivity. We present an artificial intelligence-based system for the automatic, accurate, and objective analysis of target parameters evaluated by the ledged beam walking test, which offers higher sensitivity than the current methodology based on manual and visual counting. This system employs a residual deep network model, trained with DeepLabCut (DLC) to extract target paretic hindlimb coordinates, which are categorized to provide a ratio measurement of the animal's neurological deficit.

Alternating bilateral sensory stimulation (ABS) is a clinical physical therapy technique effective in treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, its utilization in treating conditions beyond PTSD remains limited. Here, we present a protocol to reduce ethanol-induced conditioned place preference (CPP) using 4 Hz ABS.

Medical Microbiology & Parasitology Department, University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria. Email:
Background: Neonatal sepsis (NNS) is a known cause of morbidity and mortality especially in developing countries. The global resistance scourge may worsen the management outcomes of NNS. This study aims to determine the current profile of bacteriological agents of NNS, their resistance status and associated mortality in our setting.

Director, Practice Innovation, Standards and Measurement, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Background: Irrespective of where nurses work, they may provide care to individuals with substance use disorders. Unfortunately, some nurses may not understand how to work with these individuals and stigmatisation may occur.
Aim: To explore how to provide effective care for these individuals.
A multimodal approach to reduce the incidence of peripheral venous cannula bacteraemias and improve patient safety.

January 2025
Audit and Surveillance Specialist Nurse, Infection Prevention and Control, Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust.
Background: Incidence of peripheral venous cannula (PVC) bacteraemia have been rising in a trust in the south-west of England, with a 267% increase noted over the 2022/23 financial year compared with the previous year.
Aim: To use a multimodal approach to reduce the incidence of PVC bacteraemia and improve patient safety.
Methods: The initiative consisted of an educational poster highlighting the severity of infection associated with PVCs alongside key prevention messages rooted in Trust policy.
