Methods to normalize surface electromyography in respiratory muscles: Is it similar between amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and healthy people?

PLoS ONE
The normalization process is important to determine the best approach for normalizing electromyographic signals from respiratory muscles in healthy subjects and those with ALS. The aim of this study is to compare different methods of normalizing the sEMG

Effectiveness of Cervical Stabilisation Exercises on Respiratory Strength in Chronic Neck Pain Patients with Forward Head Posture- A Pilot Study [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2019
Introduction: Forward Head Posture (FHP) is one of the most common abnormalities associated with chronic neck pain. In FHP the altered rib cage mechanics leads to decrease in thoracoabdominal mobility, impaired diaphragm muscle mobility and reduced the ...

Impact of Inspiratory Muscle Training in Individuals with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease: A Randomized Controlled Trial Protocol

Methods and Protocols
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common chronic condition mainly caused by the dysfunction of the antireflux mechanism at the gastroesophageal junction. This is composed of the lower esophageal sphincter and the crural diaphragm.

Entropy‐Driven Design of Low‐Melting‐Point Alloys via Compositionally Complex Strategy

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Conventional low‐melting‐point alloys (LMPAs) are limited by a narrow compositional space and inherent property trade‐offs. This review presents an entropy‐driven design strategy that overcomes these limitations, ushering in a new class of low‐melting‐point compositionally complex alloys (LMCCAs).

Fabrication Routes for Ionic Conducting Fiber Strain Sensors

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Ionic conducting fiber strain sensors (ICFSs) offer compliant, textile‐integrable sensing. Thus far, the commercialization of ICFSs has been constrained by fiber fabrication routes. This review provides a fabrication‐centric analysis of ICFSs correlating processing strategies with material properties and scalability.

A Multi‐Scale Machine Learning Framework for the Inverse Design of High Entropy Alloys

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
High‐entropy alloys offer vast potential for various applications, including electrocatalysis; however, their compositional complexity challenges conventional screening. We introduce an inverse‐design framework combining two neural networks to determine optimal compositions and reconstruct nanoparticle geometry from targeted properties and conventional
