Exploring student-athletes’ perceptions of their psychological readiness to return to sport following a concussion
(American Psychological Association, 2022-08-16)Athletes returning to sport following a concussion are deemed “ready” once they progress through the return to sport (RTS) steps. However, this process largely overlooks psychological factors involved in returning to sport. We used a constructivist ... -
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 ... -
Bioptim, a python framework for musculoskeletal optimal control in biomechanics
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2022-06-28)Musculoskeletal simulations are useful in biomechanics to investigate the causes of movement disorders, to estimate non-measurable physiological quantities or to study the optimality of human movement. We introduce Bioptim, an easy-to-use Python ... -
Word-finding behaviours in narration for typically developing French speakers of school age
(Wiley, 2022-06-15)Background:Research in word-finding difficulties is sparse, especially in lan-guages other than English. As a result, the factors associated with the frequencyof word-finding behaviours are poorly understood, particularly in discourse.Aims:This exploratory ... -
Context-dependent effects of IL-2 rewire immunity into distinct cellular circuits
(Rockefeller University Press, 2022-06-14)Interleukin 2 (IL-2) is a key homeostatic cytokine, with therapeutic applications in both immunogenic and tolerogenic immune modulation. Clinical use has been hampered by pleiotropic functionality and widespread receptor expression, with unexpected adverse ... -
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 ... -
GWAS of hematuria
GWAS of non-genitourinary hematuria
GWAS reveals hematuria mechanisms(American Society of Nephrology, 2022-05-01)Background and objectives Glomerular hematuria has varied causes but can have a genetic basis, including Alport syndrome and IgA nephropathy. Design, setting, participants, & measurements We used summary statistics to identify genetic variants ... -
OCA-B does not act as a transcriptional coactivator in T cells
(Wiley, 2022-05-01)Pou2af1 encodes for OCA-B, a coactivator of OCT-1/2 transcription factors, which plays a key role in B-cell maturation. The function of OCA-B has also been studied in T cells, where T cells from Pou2af1−/− mice have impaired functions, such as cytokine ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Computationally efficient model to predict the deformations of a cellular foot orthotic
(Elsevier, 2022-04-21)Background Foot orthotics (FOs) are frequently prescribed to provide comfortable walking for patients. Finite element (FE) simulation and 3D printing pave the way to analyse, optimize and fabricate functionally graded lattice FOs where the local ... -
The revisited frequency-shift method for shear wave attenuation computation and imaging
(2022-04-11)Ultrasound (US) shear wave (SW) elastography has been widely studied and implemented on clinical systems to assess the elasticity of living organs. Imaging of SW attenuation reflecting viscous properties of tissues has received less attention. A revisited ... -
Simulation of atrial fibrillation in a non-ohmic propagation model with dynamic gap junctions
(American Institute of Physics, 2022-04-11)Gap junctions exhibit nonlinear electrical properties that have been hypothesized to be relevant to arrhythmogenicity in a structurally remodeled tissue. Large-scale implementation of gap junction dynamics in 3D propagation models remains challenging. ... -
Liver imaging : it is time to adopt standardized terminology
(Springer, 2022-04-07)Liver imaging plays a vital role in the management of patients at risk for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC); however, progress in the field is challenged by nonuniform and inconsistent terminology in the published literature. The Steering Committee of ... -
