Introduction: Scoping reviews, mapping reviews and evidence and gap maps (collectively known as 'big picture reviews') in health continue to gain popularity within the evidence ecosystem. These big-picture reviews are beneficial for policy-makers, guideline developers and researchers wi ...

Loss of brain tissues and cognitive abilities are natural processes of aging, but longitudinal studies are limited. We explored the longitudinal association between global and regional brain measures with cognitive abilities among individuals with normal cognitive status, mild cognitive impairment, and Alzheimer's Disease, including those with stabl ...

The study of brain structure and change in neuroscience is commonly conducted using macroscopic morphological measures of the brain such as regional volume or cortical thickness, providing little insight into the microstructure and physiology of the brain. In contrast, quantitative Magnetic Res ...

In individuals with obesity, the onset of chronic comorbidities coincides with the excessive accumulation of adipose tissue in various tissue beds. As obesity progresses, adipose tissue becomes increasingly dysfunctional causing chronic low-grade inflammation. Indeed, adipose tissue inflammation, which partially stems from macrophage infiltration and ex ...

Objective: Epilepsy surgery needs predictive features that are easily implemented in clinical practice. Previous studies are limited by small sample sizes, lack of external validation, and complex computational approaches. We aimed to identify and validate visually stereo-electroencephalography ...

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between different characteristics of the Thoracolumbar Fascia (TLF) (e.g., length, epimuscular fat distribution) with pain status and lumbar extension strength in a sample of participants with and without chronic low back pain (CLBP). Methodology: This cross-sectional study included ...

Introduction: Evidence on degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) has frequently focussed on surgical management, overlooking the role of non-surgical clinicians. Their contributions in the patient journey remain largely underexplored in the literature. Research question: What is the role of no ...

Although rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is often thought of as a singular state, it consists of two substates, phasic and tonic REM, defined by the presence (respectively absence) of bursts of rapid eye movements. These two substates have distinct EEG signatures and functional properties. Howev ...

Significance: Understanding the brain's complex functions requires multimodal approaches that combine data from various neuroimaging techniques. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) offers valuable insights into hemodynamic responses, complementing other modalities such as electroe ...

Background: Although individuals with chronic low back pain (CLBP) show increased fatty infiltration in the lumbar multifidus muscle (LMM), it remains unclear whether LMM changes are related to clinical outcomes (such as pain and disability) after considering confounders (spinal phenotypes, fear-avoidance beliefs [FABs] and insomnia). This study examine ...

The cerebellum's involvement in a range of cognitive, emotional, and motor processes has become increasingly evident. Given the uniformity of the cerebellar cortex's cellular architecture its contributions to varied processes are thought be partially mediated by its patterns of reciprocal connectivity with the rest of the brain. A better underst ...

Low back pain (LBP) is a disabling disease and a public health concern. Aquatic exercise is an alternative form of exercise with less spinal loading and difficulty performing movements, benefiting those with pain-related fear. This study aimed to investigate the effect of an aquatic exercise program (SwimEx) versus standard care (SC) on lumbar paraspina ...
