Despite the success of current tibial components of knee implants, the limited lifespan remains the main concern of these complex systems. The mismatch between the properties of engineered biomaterials and those of biological materials leads to inadequate bonding with bone and the stress-shielding effect. Exploiting a functionally graded material for the stem of the tibial component of knee implants is attractive because the properties can be designed to vary in a certain pattern, meeting the desired requirements at different regions of the knee joint system. Therefore, in this study, a Ti6Al4V/Hydroxyapatite functionally graded stem with a laminated structure underwent simulation-based multi-objective design optimization for a tibial component of the knee implant. Employing finite element analysis and response surface methodology, three material design variables (stem's central diameter, gradient factor, and number of layers) were optimized for seven objective functions related to stress-shielding and micro-motion (including Maximum stress on the cancellous bone, maximum and mean stresses on predefined paths, the standard deviation of mean stress on paths, maximum and mean micro-motions at the bone-implant interface and the standard deviation of mean micro-motion). Then, the optimized functionally graded stem with 6 layers, a central diameter of 5.59 mm, and a gradient factor of 1.31, was compared with a Ti6Al4V stem for various responses. In stress analysis, the optimal stem demonstrated a 1.92% improvement in cancellous bone stress while it had no considerable influence on the maximum, mean, and standard deviation of stresses on paths.

The functional pathway enrichment was performed on the GO and KEGG. The hub genes were mainly enriched for cell division, chromosome segregation, protein binding and microtubule binding. Further, the gene alteration study was performed using the cBioportal tool and screened out six hub genes (ASPM, CENPF, BIRC5, TTK, DLGAP5, and TOP2A) with a high alteration rate in PDA samples.

EEG signals need a lot of channels to be acquired, which makes it difficult to use in real-world applications. Choosing the optimal channel subset without severely impacting the classification performance is a problem in the field of BCI. To overwhelm this problem, a band power feature part-based convolutional neural network with African vulture optimization fostered channel selection for EEG classification (PCNNC-AVOACS-EEG) is proposed in this article. Initially, the input EEG signals are taken from BCI competition IV, dataset 1. Then the input EEG signals are pre-processed by contrast-limited adaptive histogram equalization filtering. These pre-processed EEG signals are extracted by hexadecimal local adaptive binary pattern (HLABP) method. This HLABP method extracts the features of alpha and beta bands from the EEG segments. Each EEG channel's band power data are utilized as features for a PCNNC to exactly classify the EEG into 3 classes: two MI states and idle state. The AVOA is applied within the band power feature PCNNC for channel selection, wherein channel selection aids to enhance the categorization accuracy on test set that is a vital indicator for real-time BCI applications.

It often necessitates the use of long implant plates or the interconnection of multiple short plates after tumor excision. However, the deployment of metal plates may increase the risk of screw loosening and various complications. To address these challenges, this study proposes the adoption of carbon fiber-reinforced PEEK (CFRP) as the base material. As a unique strategy, performance parameters (PP) were developed to compare CFRP implant plates with a Ti-6Al-4V plate using the Finite-element Method. The focus was on four elements: the screw axial force, bone growth, callus formation, and bone resorption. The investigation into the screw axial force involved analyzing the internal force of the screw. The remaining parameters were evaluated using the stress, strain, or elastic energy induced in the bones. The findings showed that the second screw endured the largest screw axial force, measuring 10.16 N under a 90-degree 10-N loading at the translocated bone. The model without a callus exerted a significantly greater force on the screw than the model with a callus, leading to screw loosening in the early stage of treatment.

Motor imagery (MI) classification using EEG signals is an important application that can help a rehabilitated or motor-impaired stroke patient perform certain tasks. Robust classification of these signals is an important step toward making the use of EEG more practical in many applications and less dependent on trained professionals. Deep learning methods have produced impressive results in BCI in recent years, especially with the availability of large electroencephalography (EEG) data sets. Dealing with EEG-MI signals is difficult because noise and other signal sources can interfere with the electrical amplitude of the brain, and its generalization ability is limited, so it is difficult to improve EEG classifiers.
