Use of film costumes for disease research

27.01.2023

The technology of fixing the movements of actors, which James Cameron used in his cult film "Avatar", was adapted by scientists to track the progression of diseases of the musculoskeletal system.

With the help of the latest technology, scientists will be able to track the development of diseases that prevent movement. These include any diseases associated with the brain and nervous system, heart, lungs, muscles, bones, and a number of mental disorders.

In tests using motion-capture suits, a new system that uses artificial intelligence for analysis, British experts measured the severity of two genetic disorders twice as fast as top doctors.

In the long run, this will help patients get the right support and treatment faster. In addition, it could halve the time and significantly reduce the costs required to develop a new drug in clinical trials.

Dr. Ricotti, who was part of the research team at Imperial College and University College London, and colleagues tested the method on patients with Friedreich's ataxia (FA) and Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) in two separate studies.

Great Ormand Street Hospital patient Jamesy has a condition called Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Using sensors attached to his wrists, elbows and knees, doctors monitor how his movements are affected by this rare genetic disorder.

Professor Aldo Faisal of Imperial College was one of the scientists who came up with the idea.

"Our new approach reveals subtle movements that people can't catch. It has the potential to transform clinical trials, as well as improve patient diagnosis and monitoring," the scientist notes.

Researchers at Imperial College are testing motion-sensing suits for the first time on patients with FA. They found that artificial intelligence could predict an aggravation of the disease within twelve months, which is half as much as experts usually need.

Traffic noise delays the growth of chicks 06.05.2024

The sounds that surround us in modern cities are becoming increasingly piercing. However, few people think about how this noise affects the animal world, especially such delicate creatures as chicks that have not yet hatched from their eggs. Recent research is shedding light on this issue, indicating serious consequences for their development and survival. Scientists have found that exposure of zebra diamondback chicks to traffic noise can cause serious disruption to their development. Experiments have shown that noise pollution can significantly delay their hatching, and those chicks that do emerge face a number of health-promoting problems. The researchers also found that the negative effects of noise pollution extend into the adult birds. Reduced chances of reproduction and decreased fertility indicate the long-term effects that traffic noise has on wildlife. The study results highlight the need ... >>

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

Primium Seneca keyboard 05.05.2024

Keyboards are an integral part of our daily computer work. However, one of the main problems that users face is noise, especially in the case of premium models. But with the new Seneca keyboard from Norbauer & Co, that may change. Seneca is not just a keyboard, it is the result of five years of development work to create the ideal device. Every aspect of this keyboard, from acoustic properties to mechanical characteristics, has been carefully considered and balanced. One of the key features of Seneca is its silent stabilizers, which solve the noise problem common to many keyboards. In addition, the keyboard supports various key widths, making it convenient for any user. Although Seneca is not yet available for purchase, it is scheduled for release in late summer. Norbauer & Co's Seneca represents new standards in keyboard design. Her ... >>

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>
