The influence of different force and pressure measuring transducers on lower extremity kinematics measured during running
(2014-02-01)
In running analyses where both kinetic and kinematic information is recorded, participants are required to make foot contact with a force and/or pressure measuring transducer. Problems arise if participants modify their ...
Reversing the polarity of bipolar stimulation in deep brain stimulation for essential tremor : a theoretical explanation for a useful clinical intervention
(2014-01-02)
The quadripolar electrodes used for deep brain stimulation are designed to give flexibility in contact configuration, optimize therapeutic effect, and minimize side-effects. A patient with essential tremor did not tolerate ...
Movement speed is biased by prior experience
(2014-01-01)
How does the motor system choose the speed for any given movement? Many current models assume a process that finds the optimal balance between the costs of moving fast and the rewards of achieving the goal. Here, we show ...
The effect of different durations of carbohydrate mouth rinse on cycling performance
(2014)
Carbohydrate (CHO) mouth rinse has been shown to improve time trial performance. Although the exact mechanism remains un-established, research postulates that there are oral cavity receptors which increase neural drive. ...
Treatment of rheumatoid arthritis with etanercept with reference to disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs : long-term safety and survival using prospective, observational data
(2014-01)
The objective of this study was to examine the long-term safety of etanercept (ETN) in comparison with conventional DMARDs in a large observational cohort of RA patients in the UK.
The Green's function formalism as a bridge between single- and multi-compartmental modeling
(2013-12)
Neurons are spatially extended structures that receive and process inputs on their dendrites. It is generally accepted that neuronal computations arise from the active integration of synaptic inputs along a dendrite between ...
Phage ϕC2 mediates transduction of Tn6215, encoding erythromycin resistance, between Clostridium difficile strains
(2013-11-19)
UNLABELLED: In this work, we show that Clostridium difficile phage ϕC2 transduces erm(B), which confers erythromycin resistance, from a donor to a recipient strain at a frequency of 10(-6) per PFU. The transductants were ...
Trajectories of functional limitation in early rheumatoid arthritis and their association with mortality
(2013-11)
This study aimed to identify subgroups with distinct trajectories of functional (HAQ) progression over 10 years following diagnosis of RA and identify baseline characteristics associated with the trajectories and their ...
Energy metabolism, body composition, and urea generation rate in hemodialysis patients
(2013-10-01)
Hemodialysis (HD) adequacy is currently assessed using normalized urea clearance (Kt/V), although scaling based on Watson volume (V) may disadvantage women and men with low body weight. Alternative scaling factors such as ...
