With the application of wireless sensor network (WSN) in healthcare field, online sharing of medical data has attracted more and more attention. However, wearable sensor nodes are limited in energy, storage space and data processing capacity, which largely restricts their deployment in resource demand application scenarios. Fortunately, cloud storage services can enrich the capabilities of wearable sensors and provide an effective method for people to share data within a group. However, as medical data directly relates to patients' health and privacy information, ensuring the integrity and privacy of medical records stored in cloud servers becomes a key issue to be urgently solved. Many public data auditing schemes have been put forward to address the above issues. Unfortunately, most of them have security vulnerabilities or poor functionality and performance. In this paper, we come up with a secure and efficient certificateless public auditing scheme for cloud-assisted medical WSNs, which not only supports dynamic data sharingand privacy protection, but also achieves efficient group user revocation. Security analysis and performance evaluation demonstrate that our scheme significantly reduce the total computation cost while achieving a higher security level. Compared with other related schemes, our new proposal is more suitable for group user data sharing in cloud-assisted medical WSNs.

Background: Adverse medicine events (AMEs) are unintended effects that occur following administration of medicines. Up to 70% of AMEs are not reported to, and hence remain undetected by, health care professionals and only 6% of AMEs are reported to regulators. Increased reporting by consumers, health care professionals, and pharmaceutical companies to medicine regulatory authorities is needed to increase the safety of medicines.

Phylogenetic analyses are crucial for understanding microbial evolution and infectious disease transmission. Bacterial phylogenies are often inferred from SNP alignments, with SNPs as the fundamental signal within these data. SNP alignments can be reduced to a 'strict core' by removing those sites that do not have data present in every sample.

Advancements in wearable robots aim to improve user motion, motor control, and overall experience by minimizing energetic cost (EC). However, EC is challenging to measure and it is typically indirectly estimated through respiratory gas analysis. This study introduces a novel EMG-based objective function that captures individuals' natural energetic expenditure during walking.

Background: Social Networking Sites (SNS) are widely used platforms known for both their hedonic and social connectivity benefits. Although there is considerable interest in understanding how personal technostress affects individual well-being, a significant gap remains in the systematic exploration of this topic within the literature.
Methods: This review systematically examined 41 empirical studies from Scopus and PubMed published between 2014 and 2023, following PRISMA guidelines, and assessed for methodological quality using the Mixed Method Appraisal Tool.

Background: The insertion of a tracheostomy is an established technique used to wean patients off ventilatory support, manage secretions in complex conditions, and as a potentially life-saving procedure to bypass upper airway obstruction. Life-threatening complications during aftercare are not uncommon and may be influenced by a lack of education of carers or healthcare providers of children and young people living with a tracheostomy. Education programmes designed and supported by the National Tracheostomy Safety Project are effective, but resources are not available to educate the workforce at scale.
