Interpretable rehabilitation-oriented motion anomaly detection using wearable sensor data

Kumar Dorthi, Kiran Kumar Mamidi, Ravi Kanth Kotha, Neelima Bayyapu

Abstract Accurate detection of motion anomalies during physical rehabilitation is important for patient safety and recovery monitoring. Traditional assessment methods rely on visual observation. This often leads to subjective and inconsistent evaluations. To address this limitation, we propose a Support Vector-Guided Decomposition (SVGD) framework for semi-supervised rehabilitation-oriented motion anomaly detection using wearable sensor data. The framework integrates low-rank and sparse matrix decomposition with ma …

Investigating the role of costimulatory domains in enhancing CAR-T cell persistence in TNBC

Hany E. Marei, Giacomo Pozzoli, Carlo Cenciarelli

Abstract This work summarizes how costimulatory domains can mediate the persistence, function, and therapeutic potential of CAR-T cells in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), a highly aggressive malignancy with limited treatment options and an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Although CAR-T cell therapy has produced remarkable results in hematologic malignancies, its translation to TNBC remains limited by poor T cell persistence, metabolic dysfunction, and rapid exhaustion. Current evidence identifies ca …

Prognostic factors and outcomes associated with postmastectomy radiation therapy following neoadjuvant chemotherapy and mastectomy for breast cancer

Hye Jin Kang, Myungsoo Kim, Yoo-Kang Kwak, So Jung Lee

The indications for postmastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) remain controversial. We aimed to identify prognostic factors and investigate subgroups in which PMRT could improve treatment outcomes. This study included 178 patients with clinical stage II–III breast cancer who underwent mastectomy after NAC between May 2006 and December 2022. PMRT was administered to 149 (83.7%) patients. The median follow-up period was 64 months. The response to NAC, molecular subtype, and patholog …

The Effect of a Rehabilitation Program Accompanied by the Smart TECAR Device in Restoring Muscular Strength and Range of Motion after Complete Achilles Tendon Rupture Repair in Athletes

Ali Salim Khazal Al-Qurashi

The significance of this research lies in designing a rehabilitation program for surgical cases following Achilles tendon rupture in athletes, given the tendon's importance in movement and body support. The Achilles tendon is one of the major tendons that functions as a recoil spring against the ground reaction force generated by body weight, owing to its tensile elasticity. It therefore holds great importance for athletes, and the speed of returning to sport practice represents a challenge in terms of both speed a …

Abstract Background Metastatic site is a well-recognized prognostic factor in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). Endocrine metastases, particularly to the pancreas and thyroid, are associated with favorable outcomes, whereas bone, liver, and brain metastases are linked to poorer prognosis. However, whether these metastatic patterns influence first-line treatment selection remains unclear.

IUC26666-91 Prediction of immune-related adverse events (irAEs) with hematologic markers in patients receiving first-line immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-based therapy in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC)

R Winayak, X Li, N J Salgia, K Makins, V A De Goes, A Moradi, J Hsu, H Ebrahimi, A Chehrazi-Raffle, S K Pal

Abstract Background First-line therapies with combinations of ICI-ICI and ICI-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) are commonplace in mRCC. The frequency of irAEs in patients receiving first-line ICI-based therapies is high, with grade ≥ 2 (G ≥ 2) typically warranting active management. Although prognostication based on irAEs has been demonstrated, the prediction of irAE occurrence in mRCC remains a challenge. We investigated the role of baseline hematologic markers to predict G ≥ 2 irAE occurrence with first-line ICI-b …

Treatment of Traumatic Birth Experience With Postpartum Early Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy: A Randomized Clinical Trial

YMGA Hendrix, MG van Pampus, A Hofman, J Henrichs, HE van der Horst, A de Jongh

( Am J Obstet Gynecol 2025;233:654.e1–25. doi: 10.1016/j.ajog.2025.07.051) Studies show that around 10% to 20% of women view childbirth as a traumatic experience. This can happen in both medically complicated and uncomplicated deliveries and can have vast negative effects for both mother and infant. These potential effects include post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), troubles with mother-infant bonding, postpartum depression, childbirth fears, or lower quality of life.

Responsive neurostimulation (RNS) is a neuromodulation option for treatment of drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE). There is limited data reviewing bilateral thalamic and corticothalamic RNS therapy response. We performed a retrospective analysis of 21 patients undergoing RNS implantation with either bilateral thalamic (n = 17) or corticothalamic (n = 4) leads and ≥6 months of follow-up. Patients were classified as responders (≥50% seizure frequency reduction) vs. non-responders (<50% seizure frequency reduction). Among …

DYNAMIC ANDROGEN RESPONSE INDEX AND ITS ASSOCIATION WITH BIOCHEMICAL RECURRENCE AFTER RADICAL PROSTATECTOMY FOLLOWING NEOADJUVANT ANDROGEN DEPRIVATION THERAPY

Ye. Afanasiev, S. Vozianov, R. Danylets, V. Grygorenko, O. Shulyak, M. Sosnin, I. Kholokharenko

Background. Neoadjuvant androgen deprivation therapy (NADT) before radical prostatectomy (RP) remains controversial in the management of localized and locally advanced prostate cancer. A major limitation of this strategy is the lack of biomarkers capable of identifying tumors biologically sensitive to androgen deprivation. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of a dynamic androgen response index (IAR) and develop a predictive model for biochemical recurrence (BCR) after RP. Materials and Methods. The r …
