Comparing the effectiveness of chronic water column tests with the crustaceans

Standard U.S. Environmental Protection Agency laboratory tests are used to monitor water column toxicity in U.S. surface waters. The water flea Ceriodaphnia dubia is among the most sensitive test species for detecting insecticide toxicity in freshwater env ...

Detection and Classification of Postural Transitions in Real-World Conditions

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Raluca Lidia Ganea

This study proposes a new robust classifier for sit-to-stand (SiSt) and stand-to-sit (StSt) detection in daily activity. The monitoring system consists of a single inertial sensor placed on the trunk. By using dynamic time warping, the trunk acceleration p ...

Barcoding Human Physical Activity to Assess Chronic Pain Conditions

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu

Background: Modern theories define chronic pain as a multidimensional experience - the result of complex interplay between physiological and psychological factors with significant impact on patients' physical, emotional and social functioning. The developm ...

Assessment of Body Motion and Muscle Weakness

Raluca Lidia Ganea

Muscle weakness is a common symptom in elderly population and in children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), causing impaired mobility. DMD is a devastating degenerative disease caused by a mutation in the dystrophin gene, leading to the absence of th ...

High-magnification vascular imaging to reject false-positive sites in situ during Hexvix® fluorescence cystoscopy

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières, Blaise Lovisa

Fluorescence imaging for detection of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer is based on the selective production and accumulation of fluorescing porphyrins-mainly, protoporphyrin IX-in cancerous tissues after the instillation of Hexvix (R). Although the sensi ...

Endoscopic Fluorescence Imaging

Blaise Lovisa

Since several decades, the physicians are able to access hollow organs with endoscopic methods, which serve both as diagnostic and surgical means in a wide range of disciplines of the modern medicine (e.g. urology, pneumology, gastroenterology). Unfortunat ...

Expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor is not modulated by chronic mild stress in the rat hippocampus and amygdala

Pierre Magistretti, Jean-Luc Martin, Igor Allaman

Accumulating evidence supports a role for brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in depression. However, most of these studies have been performed in animal models that have a low face validity with regard to the human disease. Here, we examined the regu ...

Persisting atypical and cystic forms of Borrelia burgdorferi and local inflammation in Lyme neuroborreliosis

Sandor Kasas

Background: The long latent stage seen in syphilis, followed by chronic central nervous system infection and inflammation, can be explained by the persistence of atypical cystic and granular forms of Treponema pallidum. We investigated whether a similar si ...

Improved physical activity in patients treated for chronic pain by spinal cord stimulation

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Bijan Najafi

The objective of this study was to objectively assess the physical activity of daily living in chronic pain patients treated with spinal cord stimulation (SCS). Changes in pain and spontaneous physical activity following SCS were evaluated under real life ...

Ambulatory system for the quantitative and qualitative analysis of gait and posture in chronic pain patients treated with spinal cord stimulation

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Bijan Najafi

The physical activity in normal daily life is determined to a large extent by the functional ability of a subject. As a result, the measurement of the physical activity that a subject performs spontaneously could be a useful and objective measurement of di ...
