Article Abstract
The automatic detection of gait events (i.e., Initial Contact (IC) and Final Contact (FC)) is crucial for the characterisation of gait from Inertial Measurements Units. In this article, we present a method for detecting steps (i.e., IC and FC) from signals of gait sequences of individuals recorded with a gyrometer. The proposed approach combines the use of a dictionary of templates and a Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) measure of fit to retrieve these templates into input signals. Several strategies for choosing and learning the adequate templates from annotated data are also described. The method is tested on thirteen healthy subjects and compared to gold standard. Depending of the template choice, the proposed algorithm achieves average errors from 0.01 to 0.03 s for the detection of IC, FC and step duration. Results demonstrate that the use of DTW allows achieving these performances with only one single template. DTW is a convenient tool to perform pattern recognition on gait gyrometer signals. This study paves the way for new step detection methods: it shows that using one single template associated with non-linear deformations may be sufficient to model the gait of healthy subjects.

Macrophages are versatile myeloid leukocytes with flexible cellular states to perform diverse tissue functions beyond immunity. This plasticity is however often hijacked by diseases to promote pathology. Scanning kinetics of macrophage states by single-cell transcriptomics and flow cytometry, we observed atopic dermatitis drastically exhausted a resident subtype S1.

Background: Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women. Cytokines have been linked to various cancers, and both benign and malignant breast diseases are associated with inflammation. However, there is limited understanding of how the immune system's cytokine response varies among different subtypes of breast cancer.

Objectives: To compare the thickness and function of the quadriceps muscle in subjects with and without patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) by ultrasonography.
Methods: Patients diagnosed with PFPS were included in the study. To measure the thickness of the rectus femoris (RF), vastus medialis longus and oblique (VML, VMO), vastus lateralis (VL) and vastus intermedius (VI), the ultrasonography was employed in rest and normal contraction modes and also the % rest-thickness normal as muscle function.

Aim: There is a need to evaluate the tissue deformation index of lateral abdominal muscles using M-mode ultrasound in a cohort of healthy subjects to establish a convenient reference point for clinical reasoning in patients. The aim of the study was to assess differences in the tissue deformation index between individual lateral abdominal muscles regardless of body side, compare these differences in the tissue deformation index on the right and left sides of the body, and evaluate side-to-side differences in the tissue deformation index within individual lateral abdominal muscles.
Material And Methods: In a group of 126 healthy volunteers (59 females), the postural response of lateral abdominal muscles to external perturbation in the form of rapid arm abduction with load was recorded on both sides of the body, and the tissue deformation index was calculated.

Purpose: The aim of the research was to observe the variations in brain activity between young cervical spondylosis patients with chronic neck pain (CNP) and healthy volunteers in the resting state and to investigate the central remodeling mechanisms in the patients.
Patients And Methods: Our study recruited 31 patients with chronic neck pain from cervical spondylosis and 30 healthy volunteers. Eventually, 29 patients (CNP group) and 29 healthy volunteers (HC group) completed the acquisition of clinical data and resting-state functional magnetic resonance ( BOLD-fMRI) amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (ALFF) data; in addition, we assessed the relationship between differentially active brain regions and clinical indicators.
