Evaluating Performance of Machine Learning Models for Diabetic Sensorimotor Polyneuropathy Severity Classification using Biomechanical Signals during Gait [PDF]
Diabetic sensorimotor polyneuropathy (DSPN) is one of the prevalent forms of neuropathy affected by diabetic patients that involves alterations in biomechanical changes in human gait. In literature, for the last 50 years, researchers are trying to observe the biomechanical changes due to DSPN by studying muscle electromyography (EMG), and ground ...

Study of the Parent-of-origin effect in monogenic diseases with variable age of onset. Application on ATTRv [PDF]
In genetic diseases with variable age of onset, an accurate estimation of the survival function for the mutation carriers and also modifying factors effects estimations are important for the management of asymptomatic gene carriers across life. Among the modifying factors, the gender of the parent transmitting the mutation (i.e.

Guillain-Barré syndrome: a century of progress [PDF]
In 1916, Guillain, Barré and Strohl reported on two cases of acute flaccid paralysis with high cerebrospinal fluid protein levels and normal cell counts — novel findings that identified the disease we now know as Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS).

A novel hotspot of gelsolin instability and aggregation propensity triggers a new mechanism of amyloidosis [PDF]
The multidomain protein gelsolin (GSN) is composed of six homologous modules, sequentially named G1 to G6. Single point substitutions in this protein are responsible for AGel amyloidosis, a hereditary disease characterized by progressive corneal lattice dystrophy, cutis laxa, and polyneuropathy. Several different amyloidogenic variants of GSN have been

Abstract Background Refractory chronic migraine (rCM) is a highly disabling condition for which novel safe and effective treatments are needed. Safety and long‐term efficacy of paresthesia‐free high cervical 10 kHz spinal cord stimulation (SCS) were here prospectively evaluated for the treatment of rCM.
