Fall detection and prevention technologies play a pivotal role in ensuring the well-being of individuals, particularly those living independently, where falls can result in severe consequences. This paper addresses the challenge of accurate and quick fall detection by proposing a Bayesian probability-based measure applied to surface electromyography (sEMG) signals. The proposed algorithm based on a Bayesian filter that divides the sEMG signal into transient and steady states. The ratio of posterior probabilities, considering the inclusion or exclusion of the transient state, serves as a scale to gauge the dominance of the transient state in the current signal. Experimental results demonstrate that this approach enhances the accuracy and expedites the detection time compared to existing methods. The study suggests broader applications beyond fall detection, anticipating future research in diverse human-robot interface benefiting from the proposed methodology.

PET/CT 영상에서 표준섭취계수(Standardized uptake value, SUV)는 간단한 반정량적인 방법으로 정상 조직과 종양 조직의 섭취 비를 측정하여 임상에서 육안적인 평가와 함께 유용하게 사용되고 있지만 많은 변수들로 인해 SUV에 영향을 주게 된다. 그 중 혈관 삽입기구나, 주사 부위의 잔여 방사능과 그 위치에 따라서 영향을 평가해 보고자 한다. GE Discovery 600 (GE Healthcare, MI, USA)과 NEMA IEC Body Phantom을 사용하였다. $^{18}F-FDG$ 5.7 kBq/mL를 물과 함께 phantom에 채웠고, 22 mm 직경의 구에 7.4, 14.8, 22.2, 29.6, 37, 55.5 MBq로 변화하여 SFOV에 포함, 불포함 그리고 끝단에 걸쳐진 조건으로 시뮬레이션 하였다. 획득된 영상에 관심영역을 설정하여 SUV에 미치는 영향을 비교 평가하였다. SFOV 포함 여부에 따라 구분한 3 그룹에서 방사능량에 상관없이 SFOV에 포함되지 않은 것이 가장 높은 SUV를 나타내었으며, 끝단에 걸친 것, 포함된 순으로 SUV의 변화가 있었다. 이중 구의 방사능량이 7.4 MBq의 경우 SFOV에 포함과 끝단에 걸친 위치의 경우 평균 SUV는 0.780, 0.840로 나왔으며 SFOV 밖에 위치 할 경우 0.896이 나왔다. 22.2 MBq과 55.5 MBq의 SUV는 동일한 순서대로 0.600, 0.700, 0.728, 0.372, 0.460, 0.508로 나왔으며, 구의 잔여방사능량에 따라 최소 10.4% 최대 62.8% 차이를 보였다. 본 연구를 통해 혈관삽입기구에 잔여 방사능이 많이 남아 있을수록 SUV를 과소평가하였다. 또한 SFOV에 포함여부에 따라서도 SUV의 변화가 있었으며, 포함되지 않았을 때 가장 적은 차이를 알 수 있었다. 추후에 혈관 삽입 기구 내 잔여 방사능과 환자의 혈관외 누출에 따른 방사능을 측정 할 수 있다면 임상에 더욱 도움이 되리라 사료된다.

This review aimed to examine and analyze trends of clinical research using case studies on facial spasms in Korean medicine. Seven web databases were searched for case studies on facial spasms using Korean and English search terms. Case studies were selected using the exclusion and inclusion criteria. Overall, 13 case studies were selected, analyzed, and classified according to the publication year and journal, study participants, cause, treatment methods, pattern identification, evaluation methods, improvement, and side effects. Case studies reporting on various treatment methods in Korean medicine, including acupuncture and pharmacopuncture for facial spasms, have been published since 2000. In addition, studies on new treatment methods in Korean medicine for facial spasm have been published. Combination therapy is the most common method used in Korean medicine-based case studies; therefore, future studies on single treatment are necessary. Most of the case studies on Korean medicine reported improved symptoms and patient satisfaction with the Korean medicine treatment method. No side effects were reported, except for facial swelling and bruising, indicating that Korean medicine treatment methods for facial spasm were safe and effective. Therefore, the Korean medicine treatment methods for facial spasm can be actively used in clinical practice and future research.

Objective: The self-decisions of the client regarding the meaningful work as a therapeutic approach of client-orientation. The Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) is an occupation-oriented problem-solving approach. The purpose of this study was to describe the goals and intervention protocols of CO-OP in those affected by stroke. Design: A systematic review. Methods: Using EBSCOhost, PubMed, and ProQuest databases, we searched studies published in the past decade that utilized the CO-OP intervention. An initial search revealed 71,171 potential articles. After applying our search criteria to screen the titles, abstracts, and full-text, we included 7 articles that met our inclusion and exclusion criteria. In this study, we used the patient, intervention(s), comparison, outcome method to analyze the 7 selected studies. We analyzed the frequency of goals and intervention protocols. Results: Seven articles met our selection criteria; these studies included participants with an almost normal cognitive function from inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation facilities. CO-OP was used for 237 goals; the most used goal was the instrumental activities of daily living. The training procedure used 3 types of self-selecting goals in the activities. One of the goals was not trained, but was only evaluated to determine the generation effect. The most common outcome measurements included the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure and the Performance Quality Rating Scale. Conclusions: This research provided information about the effectiveness of CO-OP and selecting the correct evaluation tool to assess the efficiency of the intervention. This study suggests that treatment with CO-OP in occupational therapy is effective and that it outlines common protocols.

In healthcare and medical research, many important variables have a measurement error such as body mass index and laboratory data. It is also not easy to collect samples of large size because of high cost and long time required to collect the target patient satisfied with inclusion and exclusion criteria. Beside, the demand for solving a complex scientific problem has highly increased so that a semiparametric regression approach could be of substantial value solving this problem. To address the issues of measurement error, small domain and a scientific complexity, we conduct a multivariable Bayesian smoothing under structural measurement error covariate in this article. Specifically we enhance our previous model by incorporating other useful auxiliary covariates free of measurement error. For the regression spline, we use a radial basis functions with fixed knots for the measurement error covariate. We organize a fully Bayesian approach to fit the model and estimate parameters using Markov chain Monte Carlo. Simulation results represent that the method performs well. We illustrate the results using a national survey data for application.

The nonlinear behaviors of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) frame structure are investigated by numerical simulation method with 3-D finite fiber elements. The dynamic characteristics and the seismic performance of the RAC frame structure are analyzed and validated with the shaking table test results. Specifically, the natural frequency and the typical responses (e.g., storey deformation, capacity curve, etc.) from Model 1 (exclusion of strain rate effect) and Model 2 (inclusion of strain rate effect) are analyzed and compared. It is revealed that Model 2 is more likely to provide a better match between the numerical simulation and the shaking table test as key attributes of seismic behaviors of the frame structure are captured by this model. For the purpose to examine how seismic behaviors of the RAC frame structure vary under different strain rates in a real seismic situation, a numerical simulation is performed by varying the strain rate. The storey displacement response and the base shear for the RAC frame structure under different strain rates are investigated and analyzed. It is implied that the structural behavior of the RAC frame structure is significantly influenced by the strain rate effect. On one hand, the storey displacements vary slightly in the trend of decreasing with the increasing strain rate. On the other hand, the base shear of the RAC frame structure under dynamic loading conditions increases with gradually increasing amplitude of the strain rate.
