Unleashing the Power of Machine Learning in Nanomedicine Formulation Development

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A random forest machine learning model is able to make predictions on nanoparticle attributes of different nanomedicines (i.e. lipid nanoparticles, liposomes, or PLGA nanoparticles) based on microfluidic formulation parameters. Machine learning models are based on a database of nanoparticle formulations, and models are able to generate unique solutions

Do physical agent modalities fit under an occupational therapy scope of practice? [PDF]

British Journal of Occupational Therapy, 2015
While visiting a rehabilitation centre, I observed an occupational therapist using Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) with a client who presented with an upper extremity hemiplegia due to a stroke. FES, a technique that uses electrical currents to activate nerves innervating upper and lower limbs that are paralysed, was being used to promote wrist
