Sarcopenia diagnosis using skeleton-based gait sequence and foot-pressure image datasets by Muhammad Tahir Naseem, Na-Hyun Kim, Haneol Seo, JaeMok Lee, Chul-Min Chung, Sunghoon Shin, Chan-Su Lee

“…IntroductionSarcopenia is a common age-related disease, defined as a decrease in muscle strength and function owing to reduced skeletal muscle. One way to diagnose sarcopenia is through gait analysis and foot-pressure imaging.Motivation and research gapWe collected our own multimodal dataset from 100 subjects, consisting of both foot-pressure and skeleton data with real patients, which provides a unique resource for future studies aimed at more comprehensive analyses. …”

Characteristics of cytokines/chemokines associated with disease severity and adverse prognosis in COVID-19 patients by Jianghao Cheng, Haozhen Wang, Chaodan Li, Jianhua Yu, Mingli Zhu

“…BackgroundCytokines and chemokines as crucial participants in innate immune response play significant roles during SARS-CoV-2 infection, yet excessive immune response exacerbates the severity of COVID-19.PurposeThis study aims to investigate the involvement of which cytokines/chemokines in the cytokine storm of COVID-19, as well as the changes in cytokine/chemokine levels during the course of COVID-19, simultaneously exploring the diagnostic and prognostic value of the relevant cytokines/chemokines for COVID-19.MethodsFlow cytometry was employed to detect the levels of cytokines and chemokines in the serum of 50 COVID-19 patients.ResultsCompared with severe COVID-19 patients, the levels of cytokines IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, sCD25, and chemokines IP-10 and MIG in the peripheral blood of non-severe patients were significantly reduced, while only IL-6, IL-10, and IP-10 levels were significantly decreased compared to non-survivors of COVID-19. …”
