Objective: To determine if physiotherapy outcomes differ in children with concussion treated in-clinic versus virtually. Methods: Licensed physiotherapists assessed and treated 23 children with concussion using telehealth delivery during COVID-19. These patients were matched to children assessed and treated in-clinic before (n = 23) and during (n = 23) t ...

Real-time dynamic imaging of microbubbles is crucial for understanding their microscale biophysical interactions and advancing ultrasound therapy. Despite progress in time-resolved optical imaging, existing techniques still face trade-offs between acquisition speed, spatial resolution, affordability, and system complexity. Here, we introduce compressed op ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory and neurodegenerative disease. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging technique of the retina. The thickness of the ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) obtained from an OCT image is a valuable biomarker for monitoring MS. Since the functional shape (F-shape)-based technique has prove ...

Purpose: Cardiolipin is a phospholipid located in the inner mitochondrial membrane and is released following myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. While cardiolipin has documented effects in several tissues, its impact on skeletal muscle function and mitochondrial respiration remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of e ...
