Greater cardiorespiratory fitness is associated with higher cerebral blood flow and lower oxygen extraction fraction in healthy older adults

Author(s): Sanami S; Rezaei A; Tremblay SA; Potvin-Jutras Z; Sabra D; Intzandt B; Gagnon C; Mainville-Berthiaume A; Wright L; Gayda M; Iglesies-Grau J; Nigam A; Bherer L; Gauthier CJ;

Aerobic exercise training promotes cardiovascular, brain and cognitive health. Regular exercise is associated with higher cardiorespiratory fitness, commonly assessed by peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) during maximal effort testing. Higher cardiorespiratory fitness has been linked to preserved bra ...

Aquatic therapy compared to standard care for chronic low back pain: a randomized controlled trial

Author(s): Vaillancourt N; Montpetit C; Rosenstein B; Fortin M;

Background: Anxiety, depression, and pain-related fears are highly prevalent among individuals with chronic low back pain (CLBP). While aquatic therapy is a promising treatment modality for CLBP, its effects on psychological factors remain poorly understood. Objective: To compare the effects of aquatic therapy (AT) versus standard care (SC) on psycholo ...

Preexisting Mental Health Disorders Are Associated With Acute Clinical Presentation and Longitudinal Recovery Trajectories in Adolescents With Concussion

Author(s): Iuliano SG; Gagnon IJ; Iverson GL; Cook NE; Zemek R; Teel EF;

This secondary analysis examined the association between preexisting mental health conditions and clinical recovery trajectories in adolescents with concussion. Adolescents (13-17; n = 1238) completed clinical assessments (Post-Concussion Symptom Inventory [PCSI] =48 hours postinjury; PCSI/ Pediatric Quality of Life [PedsQL] for 3 months) and were categ ...

The Impact of Coronary Artery Disease on Brain Vascular and Metabolic Health: Links to Cognitive Function

Author(s): Sanami S; Tremblay SA; Rezaei A; Potvin-Jutras Z; Sabra D; Intzandt B; Gagnon C; Mainville-Berthiaume A; Wright L; Gayda M; Iglesies-Grau J; Nigam A; Bherer L; Gauthier CJ;

Coronary artery disease (CAD), the leading cause of mortality worldwide, is increasingly recognized for its impact on brain health and cognition, yet the mechanisms linking CAD to vascular and metabolic alterations in the brain remain poorly understood. Prior work has identified regional defici ...

Patterns of Structural Disconnection Driving Proprioceptive Deficits in Chronic Stroke

Author(s): Kaeja M; Gajiyeva L; Iturria-Medina Y; Villringer A; Sehm B; Steele C;

Background: Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability, with proprioceptive impairments affecting up to 64% of survivors. These impairments hinder sensorimotor recovery, significantly impacting poststroke quality of life. Proprioception depends on an integrated brain network but remains underexplored due to limitations in clinical assessments, hi ...

Longitudinal effects of cerebrovascular reactivity and cerebral pulsatility in cognitively intact older adults with APOE4: links with cognition

Author(s): Potvin-Jutras Z; Tremblay PL; Mohammadi H; Villeneuve S; Spreng RN; Gauthier CJ;

The apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4) allele is the strongest genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and is linked to poorer cerebrovascular health. Cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR), an indicator of vascular reserve, and cerebral pulsatility (CP), a marker of vascular stiffness, are sensitive biomarkers of early vascular dysfunction associated wit ...

The Effect of a 10-Week Electromyostimulation Intervention with the StimaWELL 120MTRS System on Multifidus Morphology and Function in Chronic Low Back Pain Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Author(s): Wolfe D; Rosenstein B; Dover G; Boily M; Fortin M;

Background: Chronic low back pain (CLBP) patients present with morphological and functional deficits to the lumbar multifidus. Electromyostimulation (EMS) can be used to improve activation and strength in atrophied skeletal muscle, but its effect on multifidus morphology and function in CLBP patients is understudied. The aims of this study were to compa ...

Personalized biomarkers of multiscale functional alterations in temporal lobe epilepsy

Author(s): Xie K; Sahlas E; Ngo A; Chen J; Arafat T; Royer J; Zhou Y; Rodríguez-Cruces R; Dascal A; Caldairou B; Fadaie F; Barnett A; Audrain S; Larivière S; Caciagli L; Pana R; Weil AG; Grova C; Frauscher B; Schrader DV; Zhang Z; Concha L; Berna ...

Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is the most common pharmacoresistant epilepsy in adults, yet few patients receive curative surgery due to diagnostic and prognostic uncertainty. In a multicenter cohort, we analyzed multimodal MRI and clinical data from 282 TLE patients, 298 healthy controls, and 45 ...

Cerebral small vessel disease lesion segmentation methods: A systematic review

Author(s): Phelps J; Singh M; McCreary CR; Dallaire-Théroux C; Stein RG; Potvin-Jutras Z; Guan DX; Wu JD; Metz A; Smith EE;

Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) can manifest as brain lesions visible on magnetic resonance imaging, including white matter hyperintensities (WMH), cerebral microbleeds (CMB), perivascular spaces (PVS), lacunes, and recent small subcortical infarcts (RSSI). Detection and segmentation of th ...
