This study aims to analyze the effects of a commonly used POS on plantar pressures under the forefoot and to assess whether improper usage could affect pressure patterns. Sixteen healthy volunteers underwent three different walking tests on a straight tartan track. The test setting included walking barefoot, as well as normal walking and a modified heel-accentuated \"limping\" gait while wearing a common POS. The pressure distribution over the forefoot regions of interest was measured using sensor insoles and a pressure-measuring plate on the ground. Results show that only the heel-accentuated \"limping\" gait in the POS led to a significant reduction in pressure values over all anatomical regions compared to the normal barefoot gait. Furthermore, higher pressure values were found over the lesser toes during normal walking in the POS compared to normal barefoot walking. The findings highlight that the protective function of a POS relies on proper use, specifically the correct gait pattern. If used incorrectly, POS may even have unfavorable effects on the pressure on the operated forefoot and possibly even increase the risk of delayed healing or complications in comparison to barefoot walking. Therefore, strategies such as patient training in proper walking techniques should be incorporated into postoperative care.</p>","PeriodicalId":8874,"journal":{"name":"Bioengineering","volume":"12 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12109111/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144156292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such individualized intracranial pressure (iICP) thresholds have been suggested to have more robust associations with long-term outcomes of post-traumatic brain injury (TBI) than current guideline-based thresholds. However, both existing works have derived iICP using solely the pressure reactivity index (PRx) and a threshold of +0.20. Therefore, the goal of this study was to validate prior works and compare various cerebrovascular reactivity indices for their utility in deriving iICP. A custom iICP derivation algorithm was developed. Then, using existing archived human datasets from the Winnipeg Acute TBI Database, iICP thresholds were derived using three cerebrovascular reactivity indices: PRx, the pulse amplitude index (PAx), and the RAC (correlation (R) between the pulse amplitude of ICP (A) and cerebral perfusion pressure (C)). The yield of iICP derivation was found to vary significantly, depending on the cerebrovascular reactivity index and threshold used. A logistic regression analysis was then used to evaluate and compare the abilities of each index-derived iICP to predict the 6-month outcome. Among all index-threshold combinations tested, only PRx > 0 was able to produce an iICP that was able to outperform guideline-based ICP thresholds. PRx-based iICP seems to be superior to both PAx- and RAC-based iICP for predicting long-term outcomes.

However, full engagement may not always occur after final compression in clinical practice. This study aimed to verify the hypothesized optimal mechanical strength when the two parts are nearly fully combined and to determine a recommended engagement range based on stress distribution and concentration using finite element analysis. <b>Methods:</b> Ten models representing different combinations of the two screw parts (ranging from 10% to 100% of the engagement length, at 10% intervals) were simulated to determine the acceptable engagement percentage. Pull-out and bending load simulations were performed using finite element models. Extreme clinical loading conditions were simulated, including 1000 N pull-out forces and a 1 Nm bending moment at the screw head. <b>Results:</b> Finite element analysis revealed two stress concentration points. The pull-out load simulation showed that combinations with 100% engagement merged the two stress concentrations into one without force superposition, while combinations with less than 30% engagement should be avoided. In the bending load simulation, higher stress was observed for combinations with less than 90% engagement. A lower level of engagement increases the bending moment, which might be the major factor affecting the von Mises stress. <b>Conclusions:</b> Surgeons should be instructed on how to use the screw correctly and select the most appropriate screw size or length for the two parts to achieve an effective combination. Excessive bending or pull-out forces, or improper use with poor combinations, may cause the middle interval to strip or the screw to break or pull out. An engagement of more than 90% is recommended, while less than 30% is considered dangerous.

We demonstrate that dynamic patterns in humidity data correlate strongly with physical motion during sleep. To identify these transitions, we applied the Pruned Exact Linear Time (PELT) algorithm, which effectively segmented the time series based on abrupt changes in humidity.

Compared to temperature data, humidity data exhibited more significant fluctuations, which were leveraged to track head movement and infer sleep posture. We applied a rolling smoothing technique and quantified the cumulative deviation across sensors to identify posture transitions. Furthermore, the PELT algorithm was utilized for precise change-point detection. To classify sleep posture, we converted the humidity time series into images and implemented a transfer learning model using a Vision Transformer, achieving a classification accuracy of approximately 96%.

Medical data, such as radiographic and histopathology images, electrocardiograms, and medical records, all guide a physician's diagnostic approach. Nevertheless, most machine learning techniques in the healthcare field emphasize data analysis from a single modality, which is insufficiently reliable. This is especially evident in radiology, which has long been an essential topic of machine learning in healthcare because of its high data density, availability, and interpretation capability. In the future, computer-assisted diagnostic systems must be intelligent to process a variety of data simultaneously, similar to how doctors examine various resources while diagnosing patients. By extracting novel characteristics from diverse medical data sources, advanced identification techniques known as multimodal learning may be applied, enabling algorithms to analyze data from various sources and eliminating the need to train each modality. This approach enhances the flexibility of algorithms by incorporating diverse data. A growing quantity of current research has focused on the exploration of extracting data from multiple sources and constructing precise multimodal machine/deep learning models for medical examinations. A comprehensive analysis and synthesis of recent publications focusing on multimodal machine learning in detecting diseases is provided. Potential future research directions are also identified. This review presents an overview of multimodal machine learning (MMML) in radiology, a field at the cutting edge of integrating artificial intelligence into medical imaging. As radiological practices continue to evolve, the combination of various imaging and non-imaging data modalities is gaining increasing significance. This paper analyzes current methodologies, applications, and trends in MMML while outlining challenges and predicting upcoming research directions.
