Targeting the muscle for the treatment and prevention of hepatic encephalopathy
(Elsevier, 2016-08)Muscle mass loss or sarcopenia is a principle component of malnutrition which prevails in 65–90% of patients with end-stage liver disease [1]. Intuitively, the roots of malnutrition play a precipitating role in muscle catabolism. Undernutrition frequently ... -
Technology-based psychological interventions for young adults with early psychosis and cannabis use disorder : qualitative study of patient and clinician perspectives
(JMIR Publications, 2021-04-05)Background: The persistence of cannabis use disorder (CUD) in young adults with first-episode psychosis (FEP) is associated with poor clinical and functional outcomes. Face-to-face psychological interventions are effective in treating CUD. However, ... -
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 ... -
The temporal dynamics of inflected word recognition: a masked ERP priming study of French verbs
Temporal dynamics of inflected word recognition
(Elsevier, 2012)Morphological aspects of human language processing have been suggested by some to be reducible to the combination of orthographic and semantic effects, while others propose that morphological structure is represented separately from semantics and ... -

Tensions living out professional values for physical therapists treating injured workers
(SAGE, 2018-10-10)Health care services provided by workers’ compensation systems aim to facilitate recovery for injured workers. However, some features of these systems pose barriers to high quality care and challenge health care professionals in their everyday work. ... -
Test-retest reliability of a hip strength assessment system in varsity soccer players
(Elsevier, 2019-03-28)Objective To investigate test-retest reliability of a hip strength assessment system (GroinBar). Design Test-retest reliability study. Setting Laboratory. Participants Twenty asymptomatic varsity soccer players. Main outcome measures Maximal ... -
Test-retest reliability of clitoral blood flow measurements using color Doppler ultrasonography at rest and after a pelvic floor contraction task in healthy adult women
(Wiley, 2018-06-28)Aims: Test-retest reliability assessment of the dorsal clitoral artery's blood flow at rest and after muscle activation has never been documented. If this outcome measure is to be used in conditions impeding vascularity, it requires a psychometric ... -
Theoretical and experimental comparison of lag-based and time-based exponential moving average models of QT hysteresis
(IOP Publishing, 2017-09-26)Objective: In the electrocardiogram, adaptation of the QT interval to variations in heart rate is not instantaneous. Quantification of this hysteresis phenomenon relies on mathematical models describing the relation between the RR and QT time series. ... -
Theoretical implications and applications for understanding and changing concussion-related behaviors
(Routledge, 2019)Changing health behaviors is a priority for researchers, medical practitioners, and public health officials. Theories provide a framework to help understand and change health behaviors. To date, there has been limited use of theories within sport-related ... -
Three rounds (1R/2R/3R) of genome duplications and the evolution of the glycolytic pathway in vertebrates
(2006)BACKGROUND:Evolution of the deuterostome lineage was accompanied by an increase in systematic complexity especially with regard to highly specialized tissues and organs. Based on the observation of an increased number of paralogous genes in vertebrates ... -
Time history of upper-limb muscle activity during isolated piano keystrokes
(Elsevier, 2020-08-28)Playing-related musculoskeletal disorders (PRMDs) in pianists can lead to the cessation of performance-related activities. A better understanding of the impact of performance parameters on muscle activities could help improve prevention of pianists’ ... -
Time resolution for wavefront and phase singularity tracking using activation maps in cardiac propagation models
(American Institute of Physics, 2020-03-19)The dynamics of cardiac fibrillation can be described by the number, the trajectory, the stability, and the lifespan of phase singularities (PSs). Accurate PS tracking is straightforward in simple uniform tissues but becomes more challenging as fibrosis, ... -
Timing and chronicity of maternal depression symptoms and children's verbal abilities
Maternal depression symptoms and children’s verbal abilities
(Elsevier, 2017-09-06)ObjectiveTo test the associations between the timing and chronicity of maternal depression symptoms (MDS)and children’s long-term verbal abilities.Study designParticipants were 1073 mother-child pairs from a population-based birth cohort in Canada. ... -
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 ... -
Towards Non Invasive Diagnosis of Scoliosis Using Semi-supervised Learning Approach
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2010)In this paper, a new methodology for the prediction of scoliosis curve types from non invasive acquisitions of the back surface of the trunk is proposed. One hundred and fifty-nine scoliosis patients had their back surface acquired in 3D using an optical ... -
Training persons with early-stage Alzheimer’s disease how to use an electronic medication management device : development of an intervention protocol
(Australian academic press, 2021-01-22)Background/Objectives: Medication management is challenging for persons with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and their caregivers. Electronic medication management devices (eMMDs) are specifically designed to support this task. However, theory-driven ... -
Trajectories and predictors of functional capacity decline in older adults from a Brazilian Northeastern hospital
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2019-12-18)Background and Purpose: Older adults face increased risk of loss of functional capacity both before and during hospitalization, so identifying older adults at risk for loss in functional capacity during hospitalization would help researchers and ... -
Trajectories of gambling problems from mid-adolescence to age 30 in a general population cohort
(American Psychological Association, 2015-12)Studies of gambling starting before adulthood in the general population are either cross-sectional, based on the stability of these behaviors between 2 time points, or cover a short developmental period. The present study aimed at investigating the ... -
