Human-in-the-Loop Optimization of the Stiffness and Alignment of a Prosthetic Foot to Reduce the Metabolic Cost of Walking by Thijs Tankink, Han Houdijk, Johnnidel Tabucol, Marco Leopaldi, Juha M. Hijmans, Raffaella Carloni

“…Improper tuning of prosthetic foot properties to the individual user limits the efficacy of current state-of-the-art prosthetic feet in terms of walking economy. This study aims to explore the potential of human-in-the-loop optimization to individually optimize prosthetic foot stiffness and alignment to decrease the metabolic cost of walking of transtibial amputees. 10 transtibial amputees underwent an optimization protocol while walking on a treadmill with an experimental prosthetic foot with tuneable stiffness and alignment. …”

D-loop mutations in mitochondrial DNA are a risk factor for chemotherapy resistance in esophageal cancer by Takashi Harino, Koji Tanaka, Daisuke Motooka, Yasunori Masuike, Tsuyoshi Takahashi, Kotaro Yamashita, Takuro Saito, Kazuyoshi Yamamoto, Tomoki Makino, Yukinori Kurokawa, Kiyokazu Nakajima, Hidetoshi Eguchi, Yuichiro Doki

“…Our analysis revealed a rise in mtDNA mutations following chemotherapy, particularly within the D-loop region. Moreover, mutations in a specific D-loop segment (hypervariable segment 1; HVS1) were associated with lower mtDNA copy number, poorer response to chemotherapy, and decreased five-year survival rates. …”
