This study investigated the effect of Gua Sha therapy on pain in patients with PD.Patients and Methods: A total of 56 PD patients with pain were randomized into either the experimental group (n=28), receiving 12 sessions of Gua Sha therapy, or the control group (n=28) without additional treatment. Participants underwent assessment at baseline, after the twelfth invention, and at the 2-month follow-up timepoints. The primary outcome was KPPS and VAS. Secondary outcomes included UPDRS I–III, PDSS-2, HADS, PDQ-39, and blood biomarkers (5-HT, IL-8, IL-10).Results: The experimental group reported a significant improvement in pain severity, motor functions, affective disorder, and sleep quality (P < 0.05). Furthermore, increasing trends in both 5-HT and IL-10, as well as decreasing trends in IL-8 were observed. No serious adverse events occurred.Conclusion: The preliminary findings suggest that Gua Sha therapy may be effective and safe for alleviating pain and improving other disease-related symptoms in PD patients.Keywords: Parkinson’s disease, pain, Gua Sha therapy, randomized controlled tria

    Harmonic retrieval based baseband channel estimation for millimeter wave OFDM systems

    For massive multi-input multi-output (MIMO) enhanced millimeter wave (mmWave) frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems, channel estimation (CE) is challenging. in this paper, the baseband CE of mmWave based MIMO-OFDM systems after beam searching is formulated as a harmonic retrieval (HR) problem, where each path of the channel represents a harmonic with its frequency and strength to be estimated.We propose two methods, a windowed orthogonal matching pursuit (window-OMP) method and a windowed discrete Fourier transform (window-DFT) method, to approximately acquire the maximum likelihood (ML) estimate of the baseband CE. The window-OMP method is capable of approximating the ML estimator with high accuracy, while the window-DFT method has a lower complexity and is shown to acquire approximate ML estimate under the assumption that the frequencies of harmonics are sufficiently separated. Theoretical analysis is performed to derive a closed-form Cram´er–Rao lower bound as well as to investigate the effect of wrong paths to the estimation accuracy. A simulation study is conducted to investigate the performance of the proposed methods, and the results obtained verify that our methods outperform the existing estimation of signal parameters by rotational invariant techniques based HR method and the conventional interpolation method

    Collisions of SHA-0 and Reduced SHA-1

    Abstract. In this paper we describe improvements to the techniques used to cryptanalyze SHA-0 and introduce the first results on SHA-1. The results include a generic multi-block technique that uses near-collisions in order to find collisions, and a four-block collision of SHA-0 found using this technique with complexity 251. Then, extension of this and prior techniques are presented, that allow us to find collisions of reduced versions of SHA-1. We give collisions of variants with up to 40 rounds, and show the complexities of longer variants. These techniques show that collisions up to about 53–58 rounds can still be found faster than by birthday attacks.

    Near-Collisions of SHA-0

    In this paper we find two near-collisions of the full compression function of SHA-0, in which up to 142 of the 160 bits of the output are equal. We also find many full collisions of 65-round reduced SHA-0, which is a large improvement to the best previous result of 35 rounds. We us
