Control theory underpins the stabilization of dynamic systems, including cardiac tissue, where disruptions in electrical conduction cause arrhythmias. Current treatments either act rapidly but without precision or deliver targeted interventions that cannot adapt in real time. We present an integr ...

This study investigated whether higher cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2peak) is associated with better cerebral vascular and metabolic health-specifically cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR), cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2), and oxygen extraction fraction (OEF) acr ...

Background: Skeletal muscle thickness, echo intensity, and quality are important morphological properties; however, little is known how these variables compare between the affected and unaffected forearms in breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL). Methods: Using B-mode ultrasound, we recorded the raw radiofrequency data of the affected and unaffected fo ...

Computational pathology (CPath) leverages histopathology images to enhance diagnostic precision and reproducibility in clinical pathology. However, publicly available datasets for CPath that are annotated with extensive histological tissue type (HTT) taxonomies at a granular level remain scarce d ...

Rhythmic auditory cueing (RAC) improves spatiotemporal gait parameters in older adults, often using isochronous rhythmic cues (i.e., with constant inter-beat-intervals). However, healthy gait contains fractal-like variability, (i.e., with persistent long-range correlations; LRC) which is disturbed when walking to isochronous cues. Embedding auditory cues ...

Objective: Examine the association and temporal relationship between weight-loss and participant characteristics in a sample of community-dwelling adults with acquired brain injury (ABI), including cerebral vascular accident (CVA) and traumatic brain injury (TBI). Design: Secondary data analysis of a wait-list control assessor-blinded randomized control ...

Background: University students face high levels of stress with limited support for coping and well-being. Campus mental health services are increasingly using digital resources to support students' stress management and coping capacity. However, the effectiveness of providing this support through web-based, self-directed means remains unclear. Objec ...

Arctic ecosystems face significant threats from chemicals of global concern. Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been consistently detected in the Arctic through decades of monitoring. POPs are known to bioaccumulate in food webs, and both POPs an ...

Background: Genetic studies of stool frequency (SF), an indirect proxy for gastrointestinal transit, may reveal therapeutically tractable pathways relevant to IBS and other dysmotility disorders. Objective: To identify genes and mechanisms involved in gut motility, providing a foundation for cli ...

We propose a new paradigm, as toxicology currently lacks the proper perspective. From the 1950s to the 1970s, at least one-third of all toxicological testing in the United States, including for chemicals and drugs, was misleading scientists, and this worldwide issue persists today. Moreover, petr ...

The Functionality Appreciation Scale (FAS) is increasingly used within diverse national and linguistic contexts, but assessments of its functioning across groups remains limited. To extend knowledge, we examined measurement invariance of the FAS across five Latin American nations (Argentina, Chil ...
