Entrainement de bois flottant dans un déversoir a crête standard avec piliers: Influence des caractéristiques de bois flottant en probabilités de blocage.

Anton Schleiss, Michael Pfister, José Pedro Gamito de Saldanha Calado Matos, Paloma Furlan

Spillways are safety elements of dams that allow to release floods. They spill water to avoid overtopping with its potential structural damages at the dam and the downstream environment. Nevertheless it may be unsafe to assume that a flood only carries cle ...

Neuroenergetic Response to Prolonged Cerebral Glucose Depletion after Severe Brain Injury and the Role of Lactate

Pierre Magistretti, Jocelyne Bloch, Luc Pellerin

Lactate may represent a supplemental fuel for the brain. We examined cerebral lactate metabolism during prolonged brain glucose depletion (GD) in acute brain injury (ABI) patients monitored with cerebral microdialysis (CMD). Sixty episodes of GD (defined a ...

Non-invasive brain stimulation: an interventional tool for enhancing behavioral training after stroke

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Maximilian Jonas Wessel

Stroke is the leading cause of disability among adults. Motor deficit is the most common impairment after stroke. Especially, deficits in fine motor skills impair numerous activities of daily life. Re-acquisition of motor skills resulting in improved or mo ...

Collaborative European NeuroTrauma Effectiveness Research in Traumatic Brain Injury (CENTER-TBI)

Sean Lewis Hill

BACKGROUND: Current classification of traumatic brain injury (TBI) is suboptimal, and management is based on weak evidence, with little attempt to personalize treatment. A need exists for new precision medicine and stratified management approaches that inc ...

Diaphragm In Pressure Pipe: Steady State Head Loss Evolution And Transient Phenomena

Giovanni De Cesare, Nicolas Jean François Pascal Ghislain Adam

With liberalization of European market, many high head power plants in Switzerland increase their potential generation to remain competitive. The existing surge tanks have to be modified to keep the flow management constant. A relevant way to limit the tim ...

Involvement of autophagy in hypoxic-excitotoxic neuronal death

Nikita Rudinskiy

Neuronal autophagy is increased in numerous excitotoxic conditions including neonatal cerebral hypoxia-ischemia (HI). However, the role of this HI-induced autophagy remains unclear. To clarify this role we established an in vitro model of excitotoxicity co ...

Lactoferrin during lactation protects the immature hypoxic-ischemic rat brain

Yohan Van de Looij

Objective Lactoferrin (Lf) is an iron-binding glycoprotein secreted in maternal milk presenting anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It shows efficient absorption into the brain from nutritional source. Brain injury frequently resulting from cereb ...

Corticospinal neuroprostheses to restore locomotion after spinal cord injury

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Silvestro Micera, Stéphanie Lacour, Grégoire Courtine, Eduardo Martin Moraud, Pavel Musienko, Ivan Rusev Minev, Nikolaus Wenger, Marco Bonizzato, Janine Beauparlant, David Allenson Borton

In this conceptual review, we highlight our strategy for, and progress in the development of corticospinal neuroprostheses for restoring locomotor functions and promoting neural repair after thoracic spinal cord injury in experimental animal models. We spe ...

Cerebral metabolic effects of exogenous lactate supplementation on the injured human brain

Pierre Magistretti, Jocelyne Bloch, Reto Meuli

Experimental evidence suggests that lactate is neuroprotective after acute brain injury; however, data in humans are lacking. We examined whether exogenous lactate supplementation improves cerebral energy metabolism in humans with traumatic brain injury (T ...

Undirected compensatory plasticity contributes to neuronal dysfunction after severe spinal cord injury

Grégoire Courtine, Quentin Barraud, Pavel Musienko, Rubia van den Brand, Lucia Florinda Friedli Wittler, Janine Beauparlant

Severe spinal cord injury in humans leads to a progressive neuronal dysfunction in the chronic stage of the injury. This dysfunction is characterized by premature exhaustion of muscle activity during assisted locomotion, which is associated with the emerge ...
