Energetics of Swimming With Hand Paddles of Different Surface Areas
Crocker, GH, Moon, JF, Nessler, JA, and Newcomer, SC. Energetics of swimming with hand paddles of different surface areas. J Strength Cond Res 35(1): 205–211, 2021—Hand paddles are one of the most common training aids used by the competitive swimmer, yet little is known regarding how hand paddle surface area affects the metabolic cost of transport (COT) while swimming. The purpose of this study was to determine how altering hand paddle size affects energy use during submaximal, front-crawl (i.e., freestyle) swimming. Twenty-six proficient, adult swimmers (13 men and 13 women) completed six 3-minute trials in a flume at...

The Attitudes of Physicians and the General Public toward Prognostic Disclosure of Different Serious Illnesses: a Korean Nationwide Study.
CONCLUSION: Most Physicians and the general public agreed that disclosure of a terminal prognosis respects patient autonomy for several serious illnesses. The low response rate of physicians might limit the generalizability of the results. PMID: 33289368 [PubMed - in process]

Motor Imagery Hand Movement Direction Decoding Using Brain Computer Interface to Aid Stroke Recovery and Rehabilitation
Motor Imagery (MI)-based Brain Computer Interface (BCI) system is a potential technology for active neurorehabilitation of stroke patients by complementing the conventional passive rehabilitation methods. Research to date mainly focused on classifying left vs. right hand/foot MI of stroke patients. Though a very few studies have reported decoding imagined hand movement directions using electroencephalogram (EEG)-based BCI, the experiments were conducted on healthy subjects. Our work analyzes MI-based brain cortical activity from EEG signals and decodes the imagined hand movement directions in stroke patients. The decoded d...

Management of cardiovascular diseases in HIV/AIDS patients
AbstractHuman immunodeficiency virus  (HIV) infection/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, a pandemic in the current population causes severe weakness of the body's immune system making the infected patient more vulnerable to life‐threatening conditions. The disease predisposes the infected patient to several cardiovascular diseases and cerebrovascular diseases such as heart failure and stroke. The decline in CD4 cells following HIV infection, vulnerability to opportunistic infections and underlying HIV pathology plays a major role in the development of cardiovascular manifestations, and treatment targeting cardiomyopath...

Life expectancy, death, and disability in Haiti, 1990-2017: a systematic analysis from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017.
Conclusion: Haiti faces a double burden of disease. Infectious diseases continue to be an issue, while non-communicable diseases have become a significant burden of disease. More attention must also be focused on the increase in worrying public health issues such as road injuries, exposure to forces of nature and HIV/AIDS in specific age groups. To address the burden of disease, sustained actions are needed to promote better health in Haiti and countries with similar challenges. PMID: 33165413 [PubMed]

Can Mindfulness-Based Interventions Benefit People with Dementia? Drawing on The Evidence from a Systematic Review in Populations with Cognitive Impairments.
Authors: Chan J, Leung DKY, Walton H, Wong GHY, Spector A Abstract INTRODUCTION: Non-pharmacological interventions that promote quality of life in people with dementia are urgently needed. To accelerate development, evidence-based psychotherapies used in other populations can be considered. Mindfulness-based interventions with standardised protocols, namely mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), may be effective in people with dementia, although tailoring for cognitive impairment may be needed. Evidence from other cognitive disorders can inform research. AREAS COVE...

African Americans Struggle With the Current COVID-19
Objectives: Our study aims to explore the differential impact of this pandemic on clinical presentations and outcomes in African Americans (AAs) compared to white patients. Background: AAs have worse outcomes compared to whites while facing heart diseases, stroke, cancer, asthma, influenza and pneumonia, diabetes, and HIV/AIDS. However, there is no current study to show the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the AA communities. Methods: This is a retrospective study that included patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 from 2 tertiary centers in New Orleans, LA. Clinical and laboratory data were collected. Multivar...

Predictors of the effect of an arm sling on gait efficiency in stroke patients with shoulder subluxation: a pre-post design clinical trial.
CONCLUSION: An arm sling may improve gait efficiency in individuals with hemiplegia and shoulder subluxation able to walk with a single cane, who have consistency in handedness and sling position, and with good upper extremity function, including no shoulder pain and reduced spasticity.

Endothelial Progenitor Cells Induce Angiogenesis: a Potential Mechanism Underlying Neovascularization in Encephaloduroarteriosynangiosis
AbstractEncephaloduroarteriosynangiosis (EDAS) is one of the most commonly used indirect vascular reconstruction methods. EDAS aids in the formation of collateral vessels from the extracranial to the intracranial circulation in patients with moyamoya disease (MMD). However, the underlying mechanism of collateral vessel formation is not well understood. Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) differentiate to form the vascular endothelial cells and play a very important role in angiogenesis. We designed this prospective clinical trial to investigate the presence of EPCs in patients with MMD and to explore the neovascularization...

Agitated Blood-Saline Rather Than Agitated Air-Saline for Echocardiographic Shunt Studies
Bubble contrast echocardiography, with an agitated mixture of air and saline, is used for the detection of intrapulmonary or intracardiac right-to-left shunts.1 However, the administration of air in patients with large right-to-left shunts may have a risk of embolic complications including stroke.2-5 The addition of blood to the air-saline mixture aids with image quality.6,7 The goal of this study was to test the feasibility of an agitated blood-saline (without additional air) mixture in shunt studies and to compare its efficacy against the standard agitated air-saline in opacification of right-sided cardiac chambers.

Gut Microbiota-Derived Short-Chain Fatty Acids Promote Post-Stroke Recovery in Aged Mice.
Conclusions:This is the first study suggesting that the poor stroke recovery in aged mice can be reversed via "post-stroke bacteriotherapy" following the replenishment of youthful gut microbiome via modulation of immunologic, microbial and metabolomic profiles in the host.

Neuron-Specific Markers and their Correlation with Neurological Scales in Patients with Acute Neuropathologies
AbstractIn predicting outcomes in patients with acute brain injury, current practice focuses special attention on neuron-specific proteins that reliably reflect the severity of the lesion. Further studies of molecular markers and their specificity and sensitivity could contribute to broadening the understanding of pathophysiological, diagnostic, and prognostic methods, which is vital to reducing the mortality and disability associated with these critical conditions. The purpose of this study was to assess the biomarkers of brain lesions and their correlative relations with the integral Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and National...
