Timing stroke : a review on stroke pathophysiology and its influence over time on diffusion measures
(Elsevier, 2022-08-02)Diffusion imaging (DWI) is considered an optimal technique to detect hyperacute cerebral ischemia and has thus enriched the clinical management of patients with suspected stroke. Researchers have taken this technique beyond with Diffusion Tensor Imaging ... -
Development of a reflective learning method to support health and safety of adolescents with learning difficulties enrolled in a pre-work practicum
(Taylor and Francis, 2022-07-11)The challenges of youth employment include providing appropriate job training and safe working conditions for women and men. Adolescents enrolled in the Work-oriented Training Path (WOTP) complete a practicum as part of their vocational preparation ... -
Sex is associated with differences in oxidative stress and susceptibility to severe hepatic encephalopathy in bile-duct ligated rats
(Wiley, 2022-06-30)Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a debilitating neurological complication of chronic liver disease (CLD). Hyperammonemia plays an important role in HE’s pathogenesis, acting synergistically with systemic oxidative stress. During CLD, muscle plays a ... -
Optimal estimation of complex aerial movements using dynamic optimization
(Routledge, 2022-06-01)When estimating full-body motion from experimental data, inverse kinematics followed by inverse dynamics does not guarantee dynamical consistency of the resulting motion, especially in movements where the trajectory depends heavily on the initial state, ... -
Moment arms of the deltoid, infraspinatus and teres minor muscles for movements with high range of motion : a cadaveric study
(Elsevier, 2022-05-25)Background Moment arms are an indicator of the role of the muscles in joint actuation. An excursion method is often used to calculate them, even though it provides 1D results. As shoulder movement occurs in three dimensions (combination of flexion, ... -
Gait adaptations of individuals with cerebral palsy on irregular surfaces : a scoping review
(Elsevier, 2022-05-10)Background Individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) have a reduced ability to perform motor tasks such as walking. During daily walking, they are confronted with environmental constraints such as irregular surfaces (e.g., relief and uneven surfaces) which ... -
Renal dysfunction independently predicts muscle mass loss in patients following liver transplantation
(University of Toronto Press, 2022-05-02)Liver transplantation (LT) is the only curative treatment for cirrhosis. However, the presence of complications can impact outcomes following LT. Sarcopenia, or muscle mass loss, is highly prevalent in patients with cirrhosis and is associated with ... -
Amino acids, ammonia, and hepatic encephalopathy
(Elsevier, 2022-04-30)Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a decline in brain function arising due to liver insufficiency. The liver's diminished capacity to clear ammonia, and the subsequent accumulation of it, is highly implicated in pathogenesis of HE. Ammonia is endogenously ... -
Heretical thoughts into hepatic encephalopathy
(Elsevier & European Association for the Study of the Liver, 2022-03-27)Clinical progress in the development of new diagnostic modalities and therapeutic strategies for the management of patients with hepatic encephalopathy has lagged behind the vast knowledge that has been generated from basic studies. In this article, ... -
Optimal forward twisting pike somersault without self-collision
(Routledge & International Society of Biomechanics in Sports, 2022-03-23)In acrobatic sports, twisting fast before piking allows athletes to enlarge their scoring potential. Since planning the arm and hip movements to twist fast is unintuitive, optimal control appears as a powerful and risk-free tool. To our knowledge, ... -
Macrostructural aspects in oral narratives in Brazilian Portuguese by left and right hemisphere stroke patients with low education and low socioeconomic status
(American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, 2022-03-18)Objective: Individuals with a stroke in either the left (LH) or right hemisphere (RH) often present macrostructural impairments in narrative abilities. Understanding the potential influence of low education and low socioeconomic status (SES) is ... -
A gender lens is needed in hepatitis C elimination research
(Elsevier, 2022-03-17)The World Health Organisation has established a goal of eliminating the hepatitis C virus (HCV) as a public health threat by 2030. Considerable effort is being directed towards research to support and enhance HCV treatment uptake among people who inject ... -
Efects of ketamine optical isomers, psilocybin, psilocin and norpsilocin on time estimation and cognition in rats
(Springer, 2022-03-02)Rationale Ketamine and psilocybin belong to the rapid-acting antidepressants but they also produce psychotomimetic efects including timing distortion. It is currently debatable whether these are essential for their therapeutic actions. As depressed patients ... -
Autolysosomes and caspase-3 control the biogenesis and release of immunogenic apoptotic exosomes
(Springer Nature, 2022-02-11)Apoptotic exosome-like vesicles (ApoExos) are a novel type of extracellular vesicle that contribute to the propagation of inflammation at sites of vascular injury when released by dying cells. ApoExos are characterized by the presence of the C-terminal ... -
Telehealth for people who inject drugs : An acceptable method of treatment but challenging to access
(Routledge, 2022-02-08)Background: While telemedicine is seen as an emerging practice that will outlast the COVID-19 pandemic, it can reduce health services for those with limited internet and technological devices access or sufficient literacy. Objective(s): The a ... -

Myélinisation des projections corticales visuelles de la souris
(2022-01-18)La gaine de myéline qui entoure les axones joue plusieurs rôles, comme l’accélération de la propagation de l’influx nerveux, la synchronisation des aires corticales, la plasticité, un support métabolique, etc. Sa dégénérescence lors de certaines ... -
