Article Abstract
This paper proposes an adaptive river discharge measurement method based on spatiotemporal image velocimetry (STIV) and optical flow to solve the problem of blurred texture features and limited measurement accuracy under complex natural environmental conditions. Optical flow tracking generates spatiotemporal images by following the flow mainstream direction of rivers with both regular and irregular natural banks. A texture similarity function filtering method effectively enhances spatiotemporal texture features. The proposed method is applied to a natural river, with measurement results from a propeller-type current meter used as truth values. It is evaluated and compared with three other methods regarding measurement accuracy, error, and other evaluation indices. The results demonstrate that the method significantly improves spatiotemporal image quality. Its estimation outcomes perform better across all evaluation metrics, enhancing the adaptability and accuracy of the flow measurement method.

Digital Cueing With Laser Shoes Does Not Improve Walking in Parkinson's Disease: Evidence Across Disease Severity and Freezing Status.
Neurorehabil Neural Repair

Department of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation, Northumbria University, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK.
Background: Gait impairment in Parkinson's disease (PD) occurs early and pharmaceutical interventions do not fully restore this function. Visual cueing has been shown to improve gait and alleviate freezing of gait (FOG) in PD. Technological development of digital laser shoe visual cues now allows for visual cues to be used continuously when walking.

Background: Photoplethysmography (PPG) signals captured by wearable devices can provide vascular age information and support pervasive and long-term monitoring of personal health condition.
Objective: In this study, we aimed to estimate brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) from wrist PPG and electrocardiography (ECG) from smartwatch.
Methods: A total of 914 wrist PPG and ECG sequences and 278 baPWV measurements were collected via the smartwatch from 80 men and 82 women with average age of 63.

Brain and Nerve Research Centre, Concord Clinical School, University of Sydney, Concord Hospital, Sydney, Australia.
: Neck flexion (NF) weakness is a frequently observed clinical feature in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), particularly in advanced disease. The aim of the present study was to assess whether NF weakness could be a clinical biomarker for development of respiratory dysfunction. : Sixty-two ALS patients were prospectively recruited at Brain and Nerve Research Center.

Background: Despite promising preclinical results, remote limb ischemic postconditioning efficacy in human stroke treatment remains unclear, with mixed clinical trial outcomes. A potential reason for translational difficulties could be differences in circadian rhythms between nocturnal rodent models and diurnal humans.
Methods: Male C57BL/6J mice were subjected to transient focal cerebral ischemia and then exposed to remote postconditioning during their active or inactive phase and euthanized at 24 hours and 3 days.
Season of Blood Pressure Measurement Screening and All-Cause Mortality: A Community-Based Prospective Cohort Study.
Hypertension

Department of Hypertension, Center for Epidemiological Studies and Clinical Trials, the Shanghai Institute of Hypertension, Shanghai Key Laboratory of Hypertension, Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, China (J.W.).
Background: The association between season of screening blood pressure (BP) measurement and adverse outcomes has not been examined among populations without prior physician-diagnosed hypertension. We aimed to investigate the association between the season of screening clinic BP measurement and the risk of all-cause mortality.
Methods: This was a prospective cohort study, and data were analyzed from an ongoing community hypertension screening program in Shanghai between 2018 and 2024.
