Immediate Effects of Anodal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation on Postural Stability Using Computerized Dynamic Posturography in People With Chronic Post-stroke Hemiparesis

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2020
Postural stability is commonly decreased in individuals with chronic post-stroke hemiparesis due to multisystemic deficits. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive method to modulate cortical excitability, inducing neuroplastic ...

Factorization Machine‐Based Active Learning for Functional Materials Design with Optimal Initial Data

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
This work investigates the optimal initial data size for surrogate‐based active learning in functional material optimization. Using factorization machine (FM)‐based quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) surrogates and averaged piecewise linear regression, we show that adequate initial data accelerates convergence, enhances efficiency, and ...

Non-invasive brain stimulation for enhancing dual-task performance in individuals with chronic poststroke hemiparesis: protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis

open access: yesBMJ Neurology Open
Introduction Dual-tasking is commonly used to assess functional capacity in neurologically intact and poststroke populations. Stroke survivors often experience significant dual-task deficits due to cognitive-motor interference and neurological ...

A Novel Online and Non-Parametric Approach for Drift Detection in Big Data

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2017
A sizable amount of current literature on online drift detection tools thrive on unrealistic parametric strictures such as normality or on non-parametric methods whose power performance is questionable.

An Acute Application of Cerebellar Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Does Not Improve Motor Performance in Parkinson’s Disease

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2020
Transcranial direct current stimulation of the cerebellum (c-tDCS) improves motor performance in young and old adults. Based on the cerebellar involvement in Parkinson’s disease (PD), c-tDCS could have potential to improve motor function in PD.

Bronchoscopy Robot with Enhanced Flexibility and Stability via Multi‐Segment Variable Stiffness Catheter

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work presents a magnetic bronchoscopy robot with a novel multi‐segment variable stiffness catheter. This catheter can not only move flexibly in the narrow bronchi but also harden according to the need to provide support. Combined with remote wireless magnetic field drive, it provides a more precise and effective solution for biopsy of deep lung ...

Pediatric free fillet of leg flap for external hemipelvectomy coverage: A case report and systematic review

open access: yesJPRAS Open
Background: External hemipelvectomy leaves large composite defects that are difficult to reconstruct. The free fillet of leg flap repurposes soft tissue from the amputated limb to provide durable coverage without additional donor-site morbidity ...

Disordered Eating in Asian American Women: Sociocultural and Culture-Specific Predictors

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2019
Asian American women demonstrate higher rates of disordered eating than other women of color and comparable rates to European American women. Research suggests that leading sociocultural predictors, namely, pressures for thinness and thin-ideal ...

Foliar salt spray exclusion and tissue tolerance underlie local adaptation to oceanic salt spray

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Surviving the effects of oceanic salt spray is critical for plants in coastal ecosystems, yet the mechanisms of coastal plant resilience to salt spray are not well understood. We investigated mechanisms of salt spray adaptation by comparing five latitudinal pairs of yellow monkeyflower accessions locally adapted to coastal and inland ...

Effects of sexual dimorphism and estrous cycle on murine Clostridioides difficile infection

open access: yesInfection and Immunity
Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) causes the majority of identifiable antibiotic-associated diarrhea. Epidemiological studies have shown that biological human females are more susceptible to CDI than males.
