Wed, 23 Aug 2023 12:25:30 EDT //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/08/230823122530.htm Advancing trajectory tracking control of pneumatic artificial muscle-based systems //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/08/230821114355.htm Pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) are artificial devices that can simulate the mechanics of human muscles, and have shown great promise in industries requiring human-robot interaction systems. Despite their potential, controlling the trajectory performance of PAM-based systems is challenging owing to their nonlinear characteristics. Now, researchers have developed a novel adaptive sliding mode controller that uses fuzzy logic to estimate PAM-based system's parameters, promising enhanced tracking accuracy and adaptability compared to traditional control methods. Mon, 21 Aug 2023 11:43:55 EDT //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/08/230821114355.htm New insights into the protein-mediated motor neuron loss in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/08/230818004425.htm Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a widespread neurodegenerative disease caused by the loss of neurons that control movement. Although abnormal accumulation of proteins called TDP-43 accompanies ALS, its role in disease progression is not well understood. Recently, using novel mouse models of ALS, researchers have identified the neurological spreading patterns through which TDP-43 perpetuates the degeneration of the movement-related neural circuitry.

With flexibility and stretchability similar to natural muscle, it can be integrated into intricate soft robotic systems and adapt to various shapes. By adjusting voltages, the muscle rapidly changes its stiffness and can monitor its own deformation through resistance changes. The fabrication process is simple and reliable, making it ideal for a range of applications, including aiding individuals with disabilities or patients in rehabilitation training.

These new findings are an important piece of the puzzle in explaining what happens in the ear in hearing impairment caused by harmful noise, and may in the long run contribute to diagnosing noise-induced hearing injury. Tue, 04 Jul 2023 11:09:20 EDT //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/07/230704110920.htm An unexpected doorway into the ear opens new possibilities for hearing restoration //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/06/230628201318.htm Researchers have developed a new method to deliver drugs into the inner ear.

Multiple sclerosis begins as an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the brain and the spinal cord, resulting in symptom flares, called relapses, as well as longer-term degeneration known as progression. Despite the development of effective treatments for the inflammatory autoimmune disease, none can prevent increased disability during the neurodegenerative phase of the disease.

A long sought-after goal has been to understand how pain is represented by brain activity and how to modulate that activity to relieve suffering from chronic pain. Data were collected over months while patients were at home, and they were analyzed using machine learning tools. Doing so, the researchers identified an area of the brain associated with chronic pain and objective biomarkers of chronic pain in individual patients.

Estimates suggest that 3 percent to 17 percent of adults suffer from neuropathic pain, including a quarter of people with diabetes and a third of people with HIV. Researchers report that a mechanism involving the enzyme Tiam1 in dorsal horn excitatory neurons of the spinal cord both initiates and maintains neuropathic pain. Moreover, they show that targeting spinal Tiam1 with anti-sense oligonucleotides injected into the cerebrospinal fluid effectively alleviated neuropathic pain hypersensitivity.

New findings show that genetic testing is a valuable tool in determining prognosis for a child's hearing loss and in predicting how useful a cochlear implant could be for that child's understanding of speech. With genetic diagnosis, it is possible to anticipate future hearing loss across sound frequencies, progression with age, and severity.

Their unique sense of balance has more in common with humans than it may appear. Researchers are studying cat locomotion to better understand how the spinal cord works to help humans with partial spinal cord damage walk and maintain balance.

When eyes are dry, the cornea is more susceptible to injury.

The result, they say, creates a 'fuzzy' sound stage that makes it difficult for the brain to focus on one type of sound -- such as spoken words -- and filter out surrounding 'noise.' 星期四,2022年12月22日16:24:31 EST //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2022/12/221222162431.htm Stem cell transplants may delay disability longer than some MS medications //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2022/12/221221165109.htm 在二级进步multip。积极的人le sclerosis (MS), hematopoietic stem cell transplants may delay disability longer than some other MS medications, according to a new study. The study involved autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplants, which use healthy blood stem cells from a person's own body to replace diseased cells.
