Facial expression recognition through muscle synergies and estimation of facial keypoint displacements through a skin-musculoskeletal model using facial sEMG signals

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
The development of facial expression recognition (FER) and facial expression generation (FEG) systems is essential to enhance human-robot interactions (HRI). The facial action coding system is widely used in FER and FEG tasks, as it offers a framework to

Frailty Predicts Incident Osteoporotic Fractures in Veterans with Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with an increased risk of frailty and osteoporosis, but the relationship between frailty and incident osteoporotic fractures in RA is underexplored. Methods Data were from the Veterans Affairs (VA) Rheumatoid Arthritis Registry. Frailty was measured using the VA Frailty Index (VAFI).

Magnetic resonance imaging of facial muscles

Clinical Radiology, 2007
Facial and tongue muscles are commonly involved in patients with neuromuscular disorders. However, these muscles are not as easily accessible for biopsy and pathological examination as limb muscles. We have previously investigated myasthenia gravis patients with MuSK antibodies for facial and tongue muscle atrophy using different magnetic resonance ...

Unveiling Novel Surgical Treatments for Facial Synkinesis: Myectomy of the Posterior Belly of Digastric and Stylohyoid Muscle

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open
Summary:. Facial synkinesis manifests as involuntary muscle movements alongside volitional facial actions and is typically managed with a combination of neuromuscular retraining, botulinum toxin injections, and in some cases, selective neurectomy.
