Although there are some studies on the automatic evaluation of impairment levels after stroke using machine learning (ML) models, few have delved into the predictive capabilities of raw motion data. In this study, we captured kinematic trajectories of the trunk and affected upper limb from 21 patients with chronic stroke when performing three reaching tasks. Employing ML models, we integrated the recorded trajectories to predict scores of the Fugl-Meyer Assessment of the Upper Extremity (FMA-UE) of stroke patients. A transformer-based model achieved better metrics than Residual Neural Network (ResNet) and support vector regression (SVR). The trajectory successfully predicted FMA-UE scores, with the forward task (R=0.905±0.028) outperforming the vertical task (R=0.875±0.019) and horizontal task (R=0.868±0.031). This pilot study demonstrated the capability of original trajectory data in tracking personal motor function after stroke and extended possibility of application in telerehabilitation.

Aim: This study depicts the age trajectories of loneliness and gender differences among older adults in Taiwan and Japan.
Methods: Two nationally representative data sets for older adults in Taiwan and Japan were obtained from the Taiwan Longitudinal Study on Aging (TLSA, 1996-2011) and the National Survey of the Japanese Elderly (NSJE, 1996-2012), respectively. The analytic sample included 3037 and 1974 older adults aged 65 and over at baseline in Taiwan and Japan, respectively.

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) adversely affects quality of life, education, work, relationships and mental health. The debilitating effects of HS can compound over a patient's lifetime and have lasting repercussions. The cumulative life course impairment (CLCI) model analyses the disease factors that could affect the life course trajectory of a patient, including effects on major life decisions and opportunities, such as relationships, career path, education and starting a family.

Purpose: To introduce a novel sequence for achieving fast, whole-brain MR elastography data through the introduction of a magnetization preparation block for motion encoding along with rapid imaging readouts.
Theory And Methods: We implemented MRE motion encoding in a magnetization preparation pulse sequence block, where spins are excited, motion encoded, and then stored longitudinally. This magnetization is accessed through a train of rapid gradient echoes and encoded with a 3D stack-of-spirals trajectory.

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is closely associated with Insulin Resistance (IR). However, there is limited research on the relationship between trajectories of IR and CVD incidence, considering both time-invariant and time-varying confounders. We employed advanced causal inference methods to evaluate the longitudinal impact of IR trajectories on CVD risk.
