Abstract Myoelectric prosthesis requires a sensor that can reliably capture surface electromyography (sEMG) signal from amputees for its controlled operation.

This paper proposes a compact and affordable EMG sensor for the prosthetic application. The sensor consists of an electrode interface, signal conditioning...

AbstractA paradigm shift is occurring in cancer therapy, where instead of targeting tumor cells, immunotherapy agents (IA) target the immune system to overcome cancer tolerance and to stimulate an anti-tumor immune response.

CPI are reported to induce moderate-to-severe neurologic immune-related adverse events in less than 1% of patients, while CAR-T cells therapy is...
