In this paper, we propose to extract the motions of different human limbs by using interferometric radar based on the micro-Doppler-Range signature (mDRS). As we know, accurate extraction of human limbs in motion has great potential for improving the radar performance on human motion detection. Because the motions of human limbs usually overlap in the time-Doppler plane, it is extremely hard to separate human limbs without other information such as the range or the angle. In addition, it is also difficult to identify which part of the body each signal component belongs to. In this work, the overlaps of multiple components can be solved, and the motions from different limbs can be extracted and classified as well based on the extracted micro-Doppler-Range trajectories (MDRTs) along with a proposed three-dimensional constant false alarm (3D-CFAR) detection. Three experiments are conducted with three different people on typical human motions using a 77 GHz radar board of 4 GHz bandwidth, and the results are validated by the measurements of a Kinect sensor. All three experiments were repeatedly conducted for three different people of different heights to test the repeatability and robust of the proposed approach, and the results met our expectations very well.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of two long-term reduced concurrent training frequencies (incorporating power training for the upper and high-intensity interval aerobic training for the lower extremities), in which participants performed one training session every either 7 or 14 days, after 12 weeks of systematic concurrent training on upper extremities' muscle strength, power, and morphology in young females. After a 12-week concurrent resistance and aerobic training period, participants were assigned into three groups and performed either one training session every 7 days (G7), or once every 14 days (G14), or detraining (GD) for 12 weeks, followed by 12 additional weeks of detraining. Performance and muscle mass increased after the initial 12-week training period.

Introduction: Evaluating the mechanical-anatomical alignment and angles of the knee joint is crucial for athletes. We aimed to analyse the relationship between lower extremity bone alignment and the importance of the Q angle (QA) in male athletes.

Methods: We included 38 male professional football athletes without any alignment or varus-valgus deformity who actively played football in various football clubs in Istanbul.

Upper arm movements in the last days of life: A new possible sign of impending death.

Palliat Support Care

January 2025

Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de Coimbra, Universidade de Coimbra, Coimbra, Portugal.

One of the most crucial stages of palliative care is the last days and hours of life, which require special attention and knowledgeable identification of clinical signs described as signs of impending death (SID). Our case series of 11 patients receiving home palliative care describes bilateral hypoactive, stereotyped upper arm movements (scratching of the head, forehead, and nose) that were previously unknown or described, often accompanied by SID.
