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 ...
MMP-2 and MMP-9 polymorphisms and preeclampsia risk in tunisian arabs : a case-control study
(MDPI, 2021-06-16)
The abnormal production of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), especially MMP-9 and MMP-2, plays a pivotal role in hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, and as such, can influence the development of preeclampsia. These ...
Bile‐duct ligation renders the brain susceptible to hypotension induced neuronal degeneration : implications of ammonia
Hypotension in hepatic encephalopathy
(Wiley, 2020-12-31)
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a debilitating neurological complication of cirrhosis. By definition, HE is considered a reversible disorder, and therefore HE should resolve following liver transplantation (LT). However, ...
Exploring factors influencing occupational therapists’ perception of patients’ rehabilitation potential after acquired brain injury
(Wiley, 2016-09-21)

Elevated cerebral lactate : implications in the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy
(Springer, 2014-06-11)
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE), a complex neuropsychiatric syndrome, is a frequent complication of liver
failure/disease. Increased concentrations of lactate are commonly observed in HE patients, in the systemic circulation,
but ...
The 3D-Transition study : objectives, methods, and implementation of an innovative planned missing data design
(Oxford University Press, 2021-05-12)
The prevalence of mental health problems represents a significant burden on school and community health resources as early as preschool. Reducing this burden requires a better understanding of the developmental mechanisms ...
