Prediction of Freezing of Gait in Parkinson's disease based on multi-channel time-series neural network.

Freezing of Gait (FOG) is a noticeable symptom of Parkinson's disease, like being stuck in place and increasing the risk of falls. The wearable multi-channel sensor system is an efficient method to predict and monitor the FOG, thus warning the wearer to avoid falls and improving the quality of life. However, the existing approaches for the prediction of FOG mainly focus on a single sensor system and cannot handle the interference between multi-channel wearable sensors.

Development of Molecularly Imprinted Magnetic Amino Acid-Based Nanoparticles for Voltammetric Analysis of Lead Ions in Honey.

Lead (Pb) is a hazardous metal that poses a significant threat to both the environment and human health. The presence of Pb in food products such as honey can pose a significant risk to human health and is therefore important to detect and monitor. In this study, we propose a voltammetric detection method using molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) electrodes to detect Pb (II) ions in honey.

Cytokine expression profiles in children and adolescents with tic disorders.

The etiology of tic disorders (TDs) is not precisely known, although several lines of evidence suggest involvement of the immune system in pathogenesis. Here, we aimed to determine the expression levels of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines in children with TD and compare them with those of healthy controls. Furthermore, we also evaluated their association with clinical variables in the TD group.

Design: A randomized controlled trial.

Methods: Children undergoing surgery for the first time and their families were randomly assigned to the control or VR group.

The effect of nursing services management efficiency on nurses' professional commitment: A cross-sectional study.

Aim: To determine the effect of nurses' perceptions of the effectiveness of nursing services management on their professional commitment.

Background: Effective healthcare management is crucial for improving patient care quality. Understanding nurses' perspectives on nursing services management and their commitment provides valuable insights for management strategies, improving well-being and healthcare outcomes.

Effect of foreign impurity and growth temperatures on hexagonal structure and fundamental properties of ZnO nanorods.

This study examined the influence of growth temperature and dopant concentration on the properties of Gd- and Ni-doped zinc oxide nanorods (ZnO NRs). ZnO seed layers were deposited on glass substrates using a sol-gel and dip-coating approach. Gd- and Ni-doped ZnO NRs were hydrothermally grown on the seed layers at different temperatures such as 75, 90, and 105°C for a constant growth time of 5 h.

Spatio-temporal characterisation and compensation method based on CNN and LSTM for residential travel data.

Currently, most traffic simulations require residents' travel plans as input data; however, in real scenarios, it is difficult to obtain real residents' travel behavior data for various reasons, such as a large amount of data and the protection of residents' privacy. This study proposes a method combining a convolutional neural network (CNN) and a long short-term memory network (LSTM) for analyzing and compensating spatiotemporal features in residents' travel data. By exploiting the spatial feature extraction capability of CNNs and the advantages of LSTMs in processing time-series data, the aim is to achieve a traffic simulation close to a real scenario using limited data by modeling travel time and space.
