Rapid diagnostics of adventitious agents in biopharmaceutical/cell manufacturing release testing and the fight against viral infection have become critical. Quantitative real-time PCR and CRISPR-based methods rapidly detect DNA/RNA in 1 h but suffer from inter-site variability. Absolute quantification of DNA/RNA by methods such as digital PCR reduce this variability but are currently too slow for wider application. Here, we report a RApid DIgital Crispr Approach (RADICA) for absolute quantification of nucleic acids in 40-60 min. Using SARS-CoV-2 as a proof-of-concept target, RADICA allows for absolute quantification with a linear dynamic range of 0.6-2027 copies/μL (R2 value > 0.99), high accuracy and low variability, no cross-reactivity to similar targets, and high tolerance to human background DNA. RADICA's versatility is validated against other targets such as Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) from human B cells and patients' serum. RADICA can accurately detect and absolutely quantify EBV DNA with similar dynamic range of 0.5-2100 copies/μL (R2 value > 0.98) in 1 h without thermal cycling, providing a 4-fold faster alternative to digital PCR-based detection. RADICA therefore enables rapid and sensitive absolute quantification of nucleic acids which can be widely applied across clinical, research, and biomanufacturing areas.

While traditionally viewed as a beneficial adaptation to preserve stability in the presence of knee pathology, excessive muscle co-activation may be detrimental for joint health when extrapolated to repetitive movement patterns over time. Lesser hamstrings strength relative to the quadriceps (low HQ strength ratio) may influence neuromuscular patterns about the knee, as it is reported to increase risk for lower extremity injury among healthy females.

Does the relationship between HQ strength ratio and HQ co-activation differ between sexes during walking and jogging?

We used a descriptive laboratory study to assess hamstrings and quadriceps strength and muscle activity patterns during the loading response of treadmill walking gait (1.34 m/s) and jogging (2.68 m/s) in healthy males (n = 11) and females (n = 12). Concentric-concentric peak isokinetic torque (60°/s) was used to derive the HQ strength ratio, which was treated as an explanatory variable for HQ co-activation indices (medial, lateral, compositet exercise programs on the neuromuscular patterns of the knee.

Collectively, these data provide evidence of a sex-specific neuromuscular pattern with implications for joint health. Excessive lateral co-activation may consequently promote a greater valgus moment and ligamentous strain. Future investigations would benefit from understanding the influence of hamstrings-dominant exercise programs on the neuromuscular patterns of the knee.

Running induced-fatigue is an important factor in running related injuries. Runners with different strike types have different running mechanics and suffer from different injury patterns. OSI930 Underlying mechanism of this difference is not well understood.

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of running-induced fatigue on plantar pressure distribution in runners with different strike types.

30 rearfoot (age = 21.56 ± 2.28 years; height = 1.67 ± 0.08 m; mass = 61.43 ± 11.57 kg; BMI = 21.77 ± 2.9 kg∙m

) and 30 forefoot (age = 19.73 ± 1.68 years; height = 1.71 ± 0.08 m; mass = 65.7 ± 13.45; BMI = 22.53 ± 3.39 kg∙m

) strike male and female recreational runners were recruited to this study. Participants ran in 3.3 m/s barefoot along the plantar pressure measuring device (Footscan®, Rsscan International) before and after running-induced fatigue. Fatigue protocol was performed on a treadmill. Peak plantar pressure and peak plantar force (% body weight), contact time and medio-lateral force ratio were ith different strike types.

Our data indicate that running-induced fatigue has different effects on plantar pressure distribution pattern in runners with different strike type. These different effects reflect different adaptation strategies in runners with different strike types, and could explain existence of different injury patterns in runners with different strike types.

The gait initiation (GI) process can be characterized by anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs) and first step characteristics. However, even within a constrained environment, it is unclear how many trials are necessary to obtain a reliable measurement of the GI process within one assessment.

How many gait initiation trials are necessary to reliably detect APAs and first step characteristics in healthy elderly (HC) and people with Parkinson's disease with Freezing of Gait (PD + FOG) under single (ST) and dual task (DT) conditions and are there any potential systematic errors?

Thirty-eight PD + FOG (ON-medication) and 30 HC performed 5 trials of GI under ST and DT (auditory stroop test). APAs and first-step-outcomes were captured with IMUs placed on the lower back and on each foot. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) and the standard error of measurement (SEM) were computed to investigate reliability and mixed model analysis to find potential systematic errors. Additionally, we computed an estimct multiple trials of GI to increase reliability.

The Hawthorne Effect occurs when participants alter their behavior when they are aware that they are being examined. The effect has been reported in many experiments, including gait analysis, and is considered an important source of bias that might impact both clinical and research results. Cognitive distraction is one potential solution to reducing the Hawthorne effect during gait analysis, but it is challenging in children, and can, in itself, alter gait. This study investigated the carryover effect of an alternative low-immersion avatar-based intervention on gait and subjective feelings in typically developing children.

Will a low-immersion avatar-based intervention change feelings and indicators of temporospatial and kinematic outcomes in children in a laboratory setting, potentially reducing the Hawthorne Effect?

Typically developing children aged 5-13 participated in a standard laboratory gait analysis before experiencing a game in which they viewed their motion on monitors around the lab as that of a cartoon avatar in a 3D virtual environment.
