Lingual tonsillectomy is an effective surgical management for children with OSA caused by lingual tonsil hypertrophy, and it achieves significant improvement in the AHI and the minimum oxygen saturation. However, children frequently have residual OSA after lingual tonsillectomy, and postoperative complications must be carefully managed.
Recently, protein-antibody therapeutics becomes a hot search topic. In this paper, all protein interaction data files are collected from INTERPARE. Protein sequence and its secondary structure both are used to build HMM mathematical model. We randomly take 80% data to train positive and negative HMM models and 20% data to test. The accuracy of this approach can reach to 79.80%. This model can further be used to predict protein function sites and predict if a protein interacts with other proteins.
Postural stability assessments are typically used for training and tracking. The training results of stroke patients are investigated in terms of task execution and experimental methods. However, the selection of evaluation and training tools has not been discussed in depth. To explore the postural stability evaluation index, we used a range of widely applied assessment tools in occupational therapy. Methods: We studied the rehabilitation of 15 patients who had suffered chronic strokes for at least two years. The tools include the Timed Up and Go Test, which is used by rehabilitation professionals in postural stability evaluations, the biodex balance evaluation instrument, and a Kinect game developed for virtual reality therapy. Results: We propose an active and a passive assessment model. For training, we recommend combining active and passive assessments for confirmations. For assessments, the evaluation tool should be selected according to the postural stability task (active or passive). In the predictive models, if the different tools are considered simultaneously, static postural stability should be used as the main investigation. We suggest that by first studying the tools used to investigate postural stability assessments, balance assessments in stroke patients can also be improved.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
