SCaFoS: a tool for Selection, Concatenation and Fusion of Sequences for phylogenomics
(2007)BACKGROUND:Phylogenetic analyses based on datasets rich in both genes and species (phylogenomics) are becoming a standard approach to resolve evolutionary questions. However, several difficulties are associated with the assembly of large datasets, such ... -
School adjustment and substance use in early adolescent boys: association with paternal alcoholism with and without dad in the home
Paternal alcoholism and early adolescent boys
(SAGE Publications, 2017-05-15)The present study examined the association of paternal alcoholism with early adolescent boys’ school adjustment and substance use, and its moderation by paternal absence, controlling for parents’ socioeconomic resources. A community sample of 653 urban, ... -
Scoliosis curve type classification from 3D trunk image
(2012-02-23)Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a deformity of the spine manifested by asymmetry and deformities of the external surface of the trunk. Classification of scoliosis deformities according to curve type is used to plan management of scoliosis ... -
Scoliosis Follow-Up Using Noninvasive Trunk Surface Acquisition
(2013-03-13)Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a musculoskeletal pathology. It is a complex spinal curvature in a 3-D space that also affects the appearance of the trunk. The clinical follow-up of AIS is decisive for its management. Currently, the Cobb angle, ... -
Scoping review of adherence promotion theories in pelvic floor muscle training : 2011 ics state-of-the-science seminar research paper I of IV
(2015-05-21)Aims This paper, the first of four emanating from the International Continence Society's 2011 State-of-the-Science Seminar on pelvic-floor-muscle training (PFMT) adherence, aimed to summarize the literature on theoretical models to promote PFMT ... -
Screening for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: an information statement by the scoliosis research society international task force
(2013-10-31)Background: Routine screening of scoliosis is a controversial subject and screening efforts vary greatly around the world. METHODS: Consensus was sought among an international group of experts (seven spine surgeons and one clinical epidemiologist) ... -
Selective alterations of brain osmolytes in acute liver failure: protective effect of mild hypothermia
(2004)The principal cause of mortality in patients with acute liver failure (ALF) is brain herniation resulting from intracranial hypertension caused by a progressive increase of brain water. In the present study, ex vivo high-resolution 1H-NMR spectroscopy ... -
Semiautomatic detection of scoliotic rib borders from posteroanterior chest radiographs
(2011-09-15)3-D assessment of scoliotic deformities relies on an accurate 3-D reconstruction of bone structures from biplanar X-rays, which requires a precise detection and matching of anatomical structures in both views. In this paper, we propose a novel semiautomated ... -
Sensory cutaneous papillae in the sea lamprey (Petromyzonmarinus L.) : I. Neuroanatomy and physiology
(Wiley, 2019-09-20)Molecules present in an animal's environment can indicate the presence of predators,food, or sexual partners and consequently, induce migratory, reproductive, foraging,or escape behaviors. Three sensory systems, the olfactory, gustatory, and ... -
Seroprevalence of parvovirus B19 infection in daycare educators
(2005)This study was undertaken to provide first-time estimates for the seroprevalence of parvovirus B19 infection among daycare educators in Montre´ al, Canada, and to identify factors associated with seropositivity. A cross-sectional design was used. ... -
Serotoninergic modulation of sensory transmission to brainstem reticulospinal cells
(Wiley, 2008-08-05)Sensory inputs are subjected to modulation by central neural networks involved in controlling movements. It has been shown that serotonin (5‐HT) modulates sensory transmission. This study examines in lampreys the effects of 5‐HT on sensory transmission ... -
Sex differences in glenohumeral muscle activation and coactivation during a box lifting task
(Taylor and Francis, 2019-07-19)Manual material handling is associated with shoulder musculoskeletal disorders, especially for women. Sex differences in glenohumeral muscle activity may contribute to women’s higher injury risk by affecting shoulder load and stability. We assessed the ... -
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 ... -
Sexuality in the context of physical rehabilitation as perceived by occupational therapists
(Taylor and Francis, 2020-01-22)Introduction: One of the challenges for rehabilitation professionals is to discuss sexuality with their clients. The main objective of this study was to explore occupational therapists’ perceptions of the factors that influence their practice regarding ... -
A short-term assessment of nascent HIV-1 transmission clusters among newly diagnosed individuals using envelope sequence-based phylogenetic analyses
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2019-10-01)The identification of transmission clusters (TCs) of HIV-1 using phylogenetic analyses can provide insights into viral transmission network and help improve prevention strategies. We compared the use of partial HIV-1 envelope fragment of 1,070 bp ... -
Short-term heart rate variability in a population-based sample of 10-year-old children
(Springer Verlag, 2015)Heart rate variability (HRV) is a non-invasive quantitative marker of cardiac autonomic function derived from continuous electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings. Normative HRV values and development factors have not been established in pediatric populations. ... -
Shoulder electromyography-based indicators to assess manifestation of muscle fatigue during laboratory-simulated manual handling task
(Taylor and Francis, 2021-08-14)Muscle fatigue is a risk factor for developing shoulder musculoskeletal disorders. The aim of this study was to identify shoulder electromyographic indicators that are most indicative of muscle fatigue during a laboratory simulated manual handling task. ... -
Shoulder muscle activation strategies differ when lifting or lowering a load
(Springer, 2020-08-14)Purpose Lowering a load could be associated with abnormal shoulder and scapular motion. We tested the hypothesis that lowering a load involves different shoulder muscle coordination strategies compared to lifting a load. Methods EMG activity of ... -
The shunt from the cyclooxygenase to lipoxygenase pathway in human osteoarthritic subchondral osteoblasts is linked with a variable expression of the 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein
(2006)Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by articular cartilage degradation and hypertrophic bone changes with osteophyte formation and abnormal bone remodeling. Two groups of OA patients were identified via the production of variable and opposite levels ...
