An Euler-Bernoulli-Type Beam Model of the Vocal Folds for Describing Curved and Incomplete Glottal Closure Patterns [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Incomplete glottal closure is a laryngeal configuration wherein the glottis is not fully obstructed prior to phonation. In this work, we introduce an Euler-Bernoulli composite beam vocal fold (VF) model that produces qualitatively similar incomplete glottal closure patterns as those observed in experimental and high-fidelity numerical studies, thus ...

Investigating the Correlation between Force Output, Strains, and Pressure for Active Skeletal Muscle Contractions [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Experimental observations suggest that the force output of the skeletal muscle tissue can be correlated to the intra-muscular pressure generated by the muscle belly. However, pressure often proves difficult to measure through in-vivo tests. Simulations on the other hand, offer a tool to model muscle contractions and analyze the relationship between ...

Rest‐activity rhythm phenotypes in adults with epilepsy and intellectual disability
Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract Objective Rest‐activity rhythms (RARs) are perturbed in many forms of neuropsychiatric illness. In this study, we applied wrist actigraphy to describe RAR perturbations in intellectually disabled adults with epilepsy (“E + ID”), using a cross‐sectional case–control design.

Health Information &Libraries Journal, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Background Continual evidence surveillance is an integral feature of living guidelines. The Australian Stroke Guidelines include recommendations on 100 clinical topics and have been ‘living’ since 2018. Objectives To describe the approach for establishing and evaluating an evidence surveillance system for the living Australian Stroke ...

Preliminary design of a device to assist handwriting in children with movement disorders [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 This paper presents the development of a new passive assistive handwriting device, which aims to stabilize the motion of people living with movement disorders. Many people living with conditions such as cerebral palsy, stroke, muscular dystrophy or dystonia experience upper limbs impairments (muscle spasticity, unselective motor control, muscle ...

Towards Non-contact Muscle Activity Estimation using FMCW Radar [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Surface electromyography (sEMG) is a widely used muscle activity monitoring technique. sEMG measures muscle activity through monopolar and bipolar, multi-electrode electrodes. The surface electrodes are placed on the surface of the skin above the target muscle and the received signal can be used to infer the state of the muscle - active, inactive or ...

Glia, EarlyView.Spatial transcriptomic analysis unravels the mechanisms by which HDACi ameliorates neuroinflammation and enhances neuroprotection by modulating the expression of microglial transcriptomes in the ischemic mouse brain. ABSTRACT Ischemic stroke significantly contributes to global morbidity and disability through a cascade of neurological responses ...

Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2021 Abstract Objectives Central poststroke pain (CPSP), a neuropathic pain condition, is difficult to treat. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) targeted to the primary motor cortex (M1) can alleviate the condition, but not all patients respond. We aimed to assess a promising alternative rTMS target, the secondary somatosensory cortex (S2),
