Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide.Current treatment options, even though potentially curative, have many limitations including a high rate of complications.Over the past few years immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) targeting cytotoxic lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4), programmed c
An Intelligent Gait Data Processing Algorithm Based on Mobile Phone Accelerometers
This paper describes an algorithm for extracting human gait movements in data obtained from accelerometer sensors of a mobile phone, provided that the mobile phone is used in the usual mode.The algorithm also performs a classification of the selected movements based on a feed-forward neural network.The developed algorithm selects the best areas in
A criteria-based rehabilitation program for chronic mid-portion Achilles tendinopathy: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial
Abstract Background Achilles tendinopathy (AT) is a common overuse injury in running-related sports where patients experience pain and impaired function which can persist.A graded GINGER CHEWS MANGO rehabilitation program has been successful in reducing pain and improving function to enable a return to sport.The aim of this study is to compare the
Molecular convergence and transgenic evidence suggest a single origin of laryngeal echolocation in bats
Summary: The laryngeal echolocation is regarded as one of the conspicuous traits that play major roles in flourishing bats.Whether the laryngeal echolocation in bats originated once, however, is still controversial.We here address this question by performing molecular convergence analyses between ancestral branches of bats and toothed whales.Compar
Potentials for health and therapeutic benefits of garlic essential oils: Recent findings and future prospects
Garlic (Allium sativum) has been known for its potent medicinal activities and its interesting culinary role since ancient times.With over 200 phytochemicals and flavoring compounds elucidated and many others yet to, garlic promises to improve human health and vitality.Just like other phytochemical classes, essential oils for garlic have been repor
