Twenty years of irrigation acclimation is driven by denser canopies and not by plasticity in twig- and needle-level hydraulics in a Pinus sylvestris forest

Charlotte Grossiord, Christoph Bachofen, Eugénie Isabelle Mas, Hervé Cochard, Alice Jacqueline Frédérique Gauthey, Alex Tunas Corzon

Climate change is predicted to increase atmospheric vapor pressure deficit, exacerbating soil drought, and thus enhancing tree evaporative demand and mortality. Yet, few studies have addressed the longer-term drought acclimation strategy of trees, particul ...

Implanted System for Orthostatic Hypotension in Multiple-System Atrophy

Grégoire Courtine, Jocelyne Bloch, Jordan Squair, Léonie Asboth, Robin Jonathan Demesmaeker, Nicolas Hankov, Sergio Daniel Hernandez, Grégory Didier Dumont, Suje Amir, Maxime Berney

Orthostatic hypotension is a cardinal feature of multiple-system atrophy. The upright posture provokes syncopal episodes that prevent patients from standing and walking for more than brief periods. We implanted a system to restore regulation of blood press ...

Effect of Lower Limb vs. Abdominal Compression on Mobility in Orthostatic Hypotension: A Single-Blinded, Randomized, Controlled, Cross-Over Pilot Study in Parkinson's Disease

Kamiar Aminian, Arash Atrsaei

Background: Orthostatic hypotension (OH) in Parkinson's disease (PD) is frequent and associated with impairments in quality of life and reduced activities of daily living. Abdominal binders (AB) and compression stockings (CS) have been shown to be effectiv ...

Electrical spinal cord stimulation protocols to regulate neurological functions after spinal cord injury

Salif Axel Komi

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a life-changing event. People who suffer from it lose their abilityto move normally and are subject to life-threatening symptoms. When the insult is not toosevere, partial recovery is possible. Otherwise, for severely affected p ...

Minimal Window Duration for Accurate HRV Recording in Athletes

Jean-Marc Vesin, Grégoire Millet, Sasan Yazdani

Heart rate variability (HRV) is non-invasive and commonly used for monitoring responses to training loads, fitness, or overreaching in athletes. Yet, the recording duration for aseries of RR-intervals varies from 1 to 15 min in the literature. The aim of t ...

Cerebellar Ataxia and Coenzyme Q Deficiency through Loss of Unorthodox Kinase Activity

Matteo Dal Peraro, Deniz Aydin, Xiao Guo

The UbiB protein kinase-like (PKL) family is widespread, comprising one-quarter of microbial PKLs and five human homologs, yet its biochemical activities remain obscure. COQ8A (ADCK3) is a mammalian UbiB protein associated with ubiquinone (CoQ) biosynthesi ...

Classification of daily-life postural transitions using trunk-worn wearable barometric pressure sensor

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Fabien Massé, Alan Kevin Bourke

Distinguishing sedentary from dynamic behavior is essential in addressing disease conditions that are influenced by mobility. Event-based activity recognition algorithms essentially rely on accurate classification of siting and standing postural transition ...

Cardiac and Skeletal Muscle Defects in a Mouse Model of Human Barth Syndrome

Richardus Houtkooper

Barth syndrome is an X-linked genetic disorder caused by mutations in the tafazzin (taz) gene and characterized by dilated cardiomyopathy, exercise intolerance, chronic fatigue, delayed growth, and neutropenia. Tafazzin is a mitochondrial transacylase requ ...

Ambulatory analysis of physical activities in Parkinson's disease using kinematics sensors

Kamiar Aminian, Arash Salarian

INTRODUCTION: Motor performance in Park-inson’s Disease (PD) patients is generally analyzed in laboratory. However, laboratory techniques do not allow estimating long-term ON/OFF fluctua-tion in PD patients. Here, we propose an ambula-tory system based on ...

Temporal lobe epilepsy and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS)

Olaf Blanke

We describe a 20-year-old woman suffering from right temporal epilepsy, behavioral disorder, and a complaint of paroxysmal palpitations accompanied by anxiety. Detailed cardiac evaluation revealed that the palpitations were due to episodes of marked sinus ...
