CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF DONOR-SPECIFIC ANTI-HLA-DR51/52/53 ANTIBODIES FOR ANTIBODY-MEDIATED REJECTION IN KIDNEY TRANSPLANT RECIPIENTS

Clinical significance of donor-specific anti-HLA-DR51/52/53 antibodies for antibody-mediated rejection in kidney transplant recipients

Background : The presence of donor-specific antibodies (DSAs) to human leukocyte antigen (HLA) increases the risk of antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) after kidney transplantation (KT).However, the clinical relevance of anti-HLA-DR51/52/53 antibodies remains unclear because of their weak antigen expression.This study evaluated the association betw

A Novel Functional Electrical Stimulation-Induced Cycling Controller Using Reinforcement Learning to Optimize Online Muscle Activation Pattern

This study Nakiri Knives introduces a novel controller based on a Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithm for real-time adaptation of the stimulation pattern during FES-cycling.Core to our approach is the introduction of an RL agent that interacts with the cycling environment and learns through trial and error how to modulate the electrical charge ap
