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.

The rapid increase in multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria and biofilm-associated infections has intensified the global need for innovative antimicrobial strategies. Phage therapy offers promising precision against MDR pathogens by utilizing the natural ability of phages to specifically infect and lyse bacteria. However, their clinical application is hampered by challenges such as narrow host range, immune clearance and limited efficacy within biofilms.

Introduction: Buprenorphine is effective for opioid use disorder (OUD), yet adherence remains suboptimal. This study aimed to identify adherence trajectories, explore their predictors, and assess their association with opioid overdose risk and healthcare costs.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted using the Merative MarketScan Commercial Database, which includes a nationally representative sample of individuals with private, employer-sponsored health insurance in the United States.

A total of 101 patients with a clinical picture of persisting Lyme disease seen at the University of Connecticut Health Center and Boston Medical Center were recruited for the study to determine whether persistent infection is the likely cause. Brain SPECT imaging and responses to antibiotic treatments were recorded. Patients had more than 5 symptoms lasting more than 6 months.
