A narrative inquiry into a female athlete’s experiences with protracted concussion symptoms
(Routledge, 2017-07-07)This article explores a female university volleyball student-athlete’s experience with protracted concussion symptoms. Through the methodology of narrative inquiry, four salient themes became apparent related to Daphnée’s experiences: (a) “I felt so ... -
Navigation of microrobots by MRI : impact of gravitational, friction and thrust forces on steering success
(Springer, 2021-10-07)Introduction Magnetic resonance navigation (MRN) uses MRI gradients to steer magnetic drug-eluting beads (MDEBs) across vascular bifurcations. We aim to experimentally verify our theoretical forces balance model (gravitational, thrust, friction, buoyant ... -
Nearby construction impedes the progression to overt autoimmune diabetes in NOD mice
(Hindawi, 2013)Construction nearby animal houses has sporadically been reported to affect various aspects of animal health. Most of the reports have focussed on the impact on stress hormone levels and the hypersensitivity of animals relative to humans. There has ... -

Neural correlates of morphology computation and representation
(Springer, 2023-05-24)In this chapter, we critically review experiments on morphological processing focusing on compounds, derived and inflected words. Two main types of experiments are presented, those with single word or priming paradigms and those involving sentence ... -
Neuroanatomical correlates of macrolinguistic aspects in narrative discourse in unilateral left and right hemisphere stroke : A voxel-based morphometry study
(American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, 2021-04-12)Background A growing body of literature has demonstrated the importance of discourse assessment in patients who suffered from brain injury, both in the left and right hemispheres, as discourse represents a key component of functional communication. ... -
Neuroanatomical correlates of macrostructural receptive abilities in narrative discourse in unilateral left hemisphere stroke : a behavioural and voxel-based morphometry study
(Wiley, 2022-11-30)Background Little is known about story retelling and comprehension abilities in groups with lower levels of education and socio-economic status (SES). A growing body of evidence suggests the role of an extended network supporting narrative comprehension, ... -
Neuropathological changes in the brain of pigs with acute liver failure
(2010-08)Abstract Objective. Cerebral edema is a serious complication of acute liver failure (ALF), which may lead to intracranial hypertension and death. An accepted tenet has been that the blood-brain barrier is intact and that brain edema is primarily caused ... -
Neuroscience publishing is too important to leave to publishers
(Episteme Health Inc., 2019-06)Almost every open access neuroscience journal is pay-to-publish. This leaves neuroscientists with a choice of submitting to journals that not all of our colleagues can legitimately access and choosing to pay large sums of money to publish open access. ... -
New evidence of factor structure and measurement invariance of the SDQ across five European nations
(Springer, 2015-12)The main purpose of the present study was to test the internal structure and to study the measurement invariance of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), self -reported version, in five European countries. The sample consisted of 3012 ... -
New pandemics: HIV and AIDS, HCV and chronic hepatitis, Influenza virus and flu
(BioMed Central, 2007)New pandemics are a serious threat to the health of the entire world. They are essentially of viral origin and spread at large speed. A meeting on this topic was held in Lyon, France, within the XIXth Jacques Cartier Symposia, a series of France-Québec ... -
Newborn screening for congenital hypothyroidism and congenital adrenal hyperplasia : the balance of benefits and costs of a public health success
(2021)Newborn screening is an important public health program and a triumph of preventive medicine. Economic analyses show that the benefits of newborn screening clearly outweigh the costs for certain diseases but not necessarily for other ones. This is due ... -
The NOD mouse beyond autoimmune diabetes
(Frontiers Media, 2022-04-29)Autoimmune diabetes arises spontaneously in Non-Obese Diabetic (NOD) mice, and the pathophysiology of this disease shares many similarities with human type 1 diabetes. Since its generation in 1980, the NOD mouse, derived from the Cataract Shinogi ... -
Non invasive classification system of scoliosis curve types using least-squares support vector machines
(Elsevier, 2012-10-01)Objective To determine scoliosis curve types using non invasive surface acquisition, without prior knowledge from X-ray data. Methods Classification of scoliosis deformities according to curve type is used in the clinical management of scoliotic ... -
Non-contrast CT markers of intracerebral hematoma expansion : a reliability study
(Springer, 2022-03-29)Objectives: We evaluated whether clinicians agree in the detection of non-contrast CT markers of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) expansion. Methods: From our local dataset, we randomly sampled 60 patients diagnosed with spontaneous ICH. Fifteen ... -
Non-invasive quantitative assessment of scoliosis spinal surgery outcome
(2013-03-29)Improving the appearance of the trunk is an important goal of scoliosis surgical treatment, mainly in patients' eyes. Unfortunately, existing methods for assessing postoperative trunk appearance are rather subjective as they rely on a qualitative ... -
Noninvasive Clinical Assessment of Trunk Deformities Associated With Scoliosis
(2013-03-07)Besides the spinal deformity, scoliosis modifies notably the general appearance of the trunk resulting in trunk rotation, imbalance, and asymmetries that constitutes patients' major concern. Existing classifications of scoliosis, based on the type of ... -
Noninvasive quantitation of human liver steatosis using magnetic resonance and bioassay methods
(Elsevier, 2009-03-11)The purpose was to evaluate the ability of three magnetic resonance (MR) techniques to detect liver steatosis and to determine which noninvasive technique (MR, bioassays) or combination of techniques is optimal for the quantification of hepatic fat ... -
Normal range of motion at the hip show different pressure behavior in the lateral and acetabular compartments : a cadaveric investigation
(SpringerOpen, 2022-02-05)Purpose The techniques used previously to assess intracapsular pressures did not allow the assessment of pressure variations in both compartments throughout the entire range of motion without puncturing the capsular tissue. Our hypothesis was that the ... -
A novel method for the 3-D reconstruction of scoliotic ribs from frontal and lateral radiographs
(2009-09-29)Among the external manifestations of scoliosis, the rib hump, which is associated with the ribs' deformities and rotations, constitutes the most disturbing aspect of the scoliotic deformity for patients. A personalized 3-D model of the rib cage is ...
