Reduce the User Burden of Multiuser Myoelectric Interface via Few-Shot Domain Adaptation by Bo Xue, Le Wu, Aiping Liu, Xu Zhang, Xiang Chen, Xun Chen

“…Due to physiological and anatomical variations across users, myoelectric interfaces trained by multiple users cannot be adapted to the unique hand movement patterns of the new user. Most current work requires the new user to provide one or more trials per gesture (dozens to hundreds of samples), applying domain adaptation methods to calibrate the model and achieve promising movement recognition performance. …”

Blocking cancer-fibroblast mutualism inhibits proliferation of endocrine therapy resistant breast cancer by Jason I Griffiths, Feng Chi, Elena Farmaki, Eric F Medina, Patrick A Cosgrove, Kimya L Karimi, Jinfeng Chen, Vince K Grolmusz, Frederick R Adler, Qamar J Khan, Aritro Nath, Jeffrey T Chang, Andrea H Bild

“…By analyzing single-cell RNA-sequencing data from serial biopsies of patient tumors, we elucidated compensatory growth signaling pathways activated in ET + CDK4/6i-resistant cancer cells, along with the intercellular growth signal communications within the tumor microenvironment. In most patient tumors, resistant cancer cells increased ERBB growth pathway activity during treatment, only partially through ERBB receptor upregulation. …”

The effects of electronic smoking on dental caries and proinflammatory markers: a systematic review and meta-analysis by Abedelmalek Kalefh Tabnjh, Abedelmalek Kalefh Tabnjh, Sara Alizadehgharib, Guglielmo Campus, Peter Lingström

“…The included articles consisted of clinical trials, observational studies, and laboratory investigations that examined the impact of e-cig aerosol on oral bacteria and pro-inflammatory markers and its potential to contribute to dental caries.ResultsThe findings indicate that e-cig users may have a higher prevalence of dental caries compared with non-smokers. Most studies focusing on bacteria showed that vaping may inhibit normal flora, giving cariogenic bacteria a chance to grow more. …”
