Continuous time autoregressive (CAR(1)) and random walk models of time series data are provided for detecting non-random shifts and trends of tumour markers in breast cancer patients following resection for cure. The continuous time random walk model with observation error is extended to the case of multiple patient time series. These models can be used to monitor large numbers of patients with time series with few sampling events that are serially correlated and unequally spaced. Further, the methodologies can be used to recommend appropriate testing intervals. A Kalman filter recursive algorithm is used to calculate the likelihood functions arising from the CAR(1) and random walk models and to calculate recursive residuals, which are monitored by Shewhart-cusum schemes.

Background: To explore the influence of leisure activities on cognitive function of middle-aged and elderly people living in hypoxia environment.
Method: Using a cross-sectional random sampling survey method, a total of people over 50 years old who have lived for more than 20 years (average altitude 3000m) in Qinghai plateau region were selected. Demography information, chronic medical history, economic and marital status, and 21 leisure activities (including entertainment, mobile phone use, games, sports, travel, social interaction and housework) were investigated.

A dual-stage model for classifying Parkinson's disease severity, through a detailed analysis of Gait signals using force sensors and machine learning approaches, is proposed in this study. Parkinson's disease is the primary neurodegenerative disorder that results in a gradual reduction in motor function. Early detection and monitoring of the disease progression is highly challenging due to the gradual progression of symptoms and the inadequacy of conventional methods in identifying subtle changes in mobility.

People with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and intermittent claudication (IC) experience impaired walking due to an imbalance between muscle oxygen supply and demand during exercise. Studies with near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) during treadmill tests reveal notable tissue deoxygenation with slow recovery. This cross-sectional study aimed to compare behavior of calf muscle oxygenation during the incremental shuttle walking test (ISWT) with a continuous treadmill test (3.

Early detection of Parkinson's disease (PD) and accurate assessment of disease progression are critical for optimizing treatment and rehabilitation. However, there is no consensus on how to effectively detect early-stage PD and classify motor symptom severity using gait analysis. This study evaluated the accuracy of machine learning models in classifying early and moderate-stages of PD based on spatiotemporal gait features at different walking speeds.

Pulmonary vascular remodeling and arterial hypertension (PAH) correlate to increased platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) activity and elevated KIT expression. Imatinib has emerged as a potential therapeutic agent for PAH. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess the effectiveness of imatinib in treatment of PAH.
