Real-world speed estimation using single trunk IMU: methodological challenges for impaired gait patterns

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Abolfazl Soltani

Walking speed (WS) is recognized as an important dimension of functional health and a candidate endpoint for clinical trials. To be adopted as a powerful outcome measure in clinical assessment, WS should be estimated pervasively and accurately in the real- ...

Renal tubular arginase-2 participates in the formation of the corticomedullary urea gradient and attenuates kidney damage in ischemia-reperfusion injury in mice

Dmitri Firsov, Hikari Ananda Infinity Yoshihara, Jean-Luc Barras, Nicolas Dattner

Aim Arginase 2 (ARG2) is a mitochondrial enzyme that catalyses hydrolysis ofl-arginine into urea andl-ornithine. In the kidney, ARG2 is localized to the S3 segment of the proximal tubule. It has been shown that expression and activity of this enzyme are up ...

Impact of aerobic exercise type on blood flow, muscle energy metabolism, and mitochondrial biogenesis in experimental lower extremity artery disease

Rolf Gruetter, Carole Poitry-Yamate

Exercise training (ET) is recommended for lower extremity artery disease (LEAD) management. However, there is still little information on the hemodynamic and metabolic adaptations by skeletal muscle with ET. We examined whether hindlimb perfusion/vasculari ...

Time-Resolved NIROT 'Pioneer' System for Imaging Oxygenation of the Preterm Brain: Preliminary Results

Matthias Wolf, Edoardo Charbon, Scott Anthony Lindner, Jingjing Jiang

In preterm infants, there is a risk of long-term cognitive, motor and behavioral impairments due to hemorrhagic and/or ischemic lesions. If detected early, lesions can be prevented. A bedside imaging modality, capable of early detection of both disorders, ...

Disownership of body parts as revealed by a visual scale evaluation. An observational study

Olaf Blanke, Roberta Ronchi, Michela Bassolino, Giuseppe Vallar, Dragana Viceic

The disownership of body parts, that most frequently occurs on the left side of the body, contralateral to right-hemispheric lesions, is an infrequent disorder, as usually assessed by interviews asking for dichotomic "yes/no" responses. This observational ...

In vitro Implementation of Photopolymerizable Hydrogels as a Potential Treatment of Intracranial Aneurysms

Dominique Pioletti, Christophe Moser, Andreas Schmocker, Oriane Poupart

Intracranial aneurysms are increasingly being treated with endovascular therapy, namely coil embolization. Despite being minimally invasive, partial occlusion and recurrence are more frequent compared to open surgical clipping. Therefore, an alternative tr ...

Forecasting intracranial hypertension using multi-scale waveform metrics

Martin Jaggi, Walter Karlen

Objective: Acute intracranial hypertension is an important risk factor of secondary brain damage after traumatic brain injury. Hypertensive episodes are often diagnosed reactively, leading to late detection and lost time for intervention planning. A pro-ac ...

Characteristics of different charge transfer modes in upward flashes inferred from simultaneously measured currents and fields

Marcos Rubinstein, Mohammad Azadifar, Davide Pavanello, Lixia He, Qi Li

The authors present an analysis of different charge transfer modes during upward negative flashes. The analysis includes a total number of 94 pulses that occurred during two upward negative flashes recorded at the Säntis Tower. The pulses included 59 mixed ...

Central and peripheral mechanisms: a multimodal approach to understanding and restoring human motor control

Nawal Noëlle Kinany

All human actions involve motor control. Even the simplest movement requires the coordinated recruitment of many muscles, orchestrated by neuronal circuits in the brain and the spinal cord. As a consequence, lesions affecting the central nervous system, su ...

Variability of Muscle Synergies in Hand Grasps: Analysis of Intra- and Inter-Session Data

Una Pale

Background. Muscle synergy analysis is an approach to understand the neurophysiological mechanisms behind the hypothesized ability of the Central Nervous System (CNS) to reduce the dimensionality of muscle control. The muscle synergy approach is also used ...
