Predicting Accuracy of Step Count Estimations in Parkinson’s Disease

Understanding the accuracy of step count estimations in Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is crucial for effective monitoring. This study explored the use of wearable sensors to predict step count errors. By analyzing the autocorrelation function and spectral entropy distribution, researchers were able to determine the likelihood of low or high error rates. Individuals with PD who […]

Exploring the Link Between Alzheimer’s Disease, Hearing Loss, and Blood-Brain Barrier

Imagine a bustling city with roads connecting different neighborhoods. Now, picture a study investigating the relationship between two common health conditions: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and hearing loss (HL), and a major highway that could impact both conditions – the blood-brain barrier (BBB). In this research, scientists recruited 65 AD patients and assessed their auditory function. […]
