Objective: The electrophysiological classification of tremors can be a key element in the diagnosis and can facilitate treatment of a patient with tremor; however, the ability to conduct electrophysiological studies of tremor is not widely available. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a free online platform for tremor analysis.
Methods: An online platform for tremor analysis was developed using "R" language; called "Tremoroton". For validation, we compared the frequency estimation of the tremor obtained with Tremoroton compared with a commercially available software in a cohort of 20 patients (10 with essential tremor and 10 with Parkinson diagnosis), comparing the activity recorded on the accelerometer, extensor carpi radialis and flexor carpi radialis EMG. An intraclass correlation coefficient was used for the comparison.
Results: The final version of tremoroton is now online. It allows reading up to 6 channels, and will do time, frequency, time-frequency analysis and calculate coherence. We demonstrated a high correlation in frequency measurements (0.97 (0.945-0.984, 95% IC) for the accelerometers, 0.98 (0.977-0.994, 95% IC) for the extensor carpi radialis EMG, and 0.99 (0.987-0.997, 95% IC) for the flexor carpi radialis EMG) when compared to a commercial software.
Conclusion: We were able to develop and validate a free online platform for tremor analysis.
Significance: Making this tool available should help expanding tremor analysis techniques from research to the clinical setting.

Analyzing consumers' preferences and perceptions of eggs can provide data support for the egg industry to produce products that better meet consumer preferences. The study evaluated consumers' egg consumption preferences based on an online survey from 2022 to 2024 of 3,434 consumers of different ages. The results showed that Generation Z (Gen Z), referred to the people born after 1997, was more concerned about the topic of eggs and was willing to purchase eggs through e-commerce platforms.

The proliferation of online gambling platforms has heightened concerns over their potential to intensify problematic gambling behaviors. While previous research has examined various risk factors, the influence of prior online gaming experience on gambling transitions remains underexplored. This study investigates whether and how engagement with online gaming facilitates the migration from offline to online gambling.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of an online nursing consultation on the Red Sinapsis (RS) Internet platform in increasing maternal self-efficacy and exclusive breastfeeding rates during the first month postpartum.
Methods: This study employed a controlled, randomised experimental design with two groups. Ninety women who had undergone caesarean sections were randomly assigned to either an intervention group (n = 45) or a control group (n = 45).

Background: Adolescence is a critical period for lifelong health, which makes access to accurate and comprehensive sexuality education essential. As video platforms become a primary source of information for adolescents, the quality of their content significantly impacts their physical and mental health.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the quality, reliability, understandability, and actionability of adolescent sexuality education videos on major Chinese platforms (Bilibili, TikTok or Douyin, and Kwai), analyze associated user comment sentiment and topics, identify predictors of quality and reliability, and provide recommendations.
