Dexmedetomidine Protects Against Oxygen –Glucose Deprivation-Induced Injury Through Inducing Astrocytes Autophagy via TSC2/mTOR Pathway
In conclusion, our study suggests that DEX exerts a neuroprotection against OGD-induced astrocytes injury via activation of astrocytes autophagy by regulating the TSC2/mTOR signaling pathway, which provides a new insight into the mechanisms of DEX treatment for acute ischemic injury.

Abdominal adipose tissue predicts major cardiovascular events in systemic necrotising vasculitides.
CONCLUSIONS: Abdominal visceral adipose tissue is a reliable surrogate marker of CV risk and predicts incident MCVEs in SNV patients. Abdominal adipose tissue should be probably evaluated routinely in these patients to assess CV risk.

Neuromuscular and Muscle Metabolic Functions in MELAS Before and After Resistance Training: A Case Study
Conclusion
To conclude, this study suggests a preserved plasticity in the skeletal muscle of a patient with MELAS. More importantly, Resistance Training appears to be a safe and effective method to increase skeletal muscle function in this patient population, and this effect is mediated by both neuromuscular and mitochondrial adaptations. However, particular attention and caution is needed in the interpretation of the data of this single case study and further studies are warranted including larger sample of patients.
Ethics Statement
For this case study the participant caregiver provided written informed consent.

An Evaluation of Personal Cooling Systems for Reducing Thermal Strain Whilst Working in Chemical/Biological Protective Clothing
Conclusion: The IV, PCM, and SLIV produced lower heart rate, mean skin, rectal and mean body temperatures in addition to improved work times compared to control. The WS did not improve work times possibly as a result of the cooling capacity of the suit abating, and magnifying thermal insulation. Considering the added time and resources required to implement combination cooling in the form of ice slurry and ice vest (SLIV), there was no significant additive effect for perception, cardiovascular strain, rectal temperature and total trial time relative to the phase change vest or ice vest alone. This may be a product of a &#x...

The Relationship Between Bone Mineral Density and Cardiovascular Function in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy: A Retrospective Cohort Study
In this study, we explored the relationship between BMD and cardiovascular health, and observed no association between BMD and LVEF. The primary results were in the opposite direction than the hypothesized direction, with the model beta coefficient for BMD indicating a negative relationship with LVEF; however, the size of the effect BMD had on LVEF was very small and not statistically significant. The secondary linear regression analyses provided consistent results with the primary linear regression, indicating that the primary results are sensitive to a variety of slightly modified conditions.
It is possible that the nul...

Upright activity and higher motor function may preserve bone mineral density within 6 months of stroke: a longitudinal study
ConclusionBetter motor control and walking recovery were associated with reduced bone loss. Interventions targeting these impairments from early post-stroke are warranted.Clinical trial registrationURL:http://www.anzctr.org.au. Unique identifier: ACTRN12612000123842.

Association of Visceral Adipose Tissue (VAT) Measured on Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DXA) with Incident Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD) Events in Older Men
Purposes/Aims: To estimate the associations of DXA-VAT and the proportion of central vs peripheral adipose tissue (measured as Android-Gynoid fat mass ratio on DXA) with incident ASCVD (myocardial infarction, coronary heart disease death, or fatal or non-fatal stroke) among older men.

Effects of weight training time on bone mineral density of patients with secondary osteoporosis after hemiplegia.
In conclusion, in order to stimulate BMD and reverse osteoporosis in patients with secondary osteoporosis after hemiplegia, daily weight training for minimum 60 and 90 min was needed for males and females, respectively.

Relationship Between Nutritional Factors and Hip Bone Density in Individuals with Chronic Stroke
AbstractThe aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between dietary habits and hip bone health in community-dwelling individuals with chronic stroke. The usual dietary intake of 94 individuals with chronic stroke (30 women, mean age: 59.0 years) was assessed by a 3-day food record within a single week. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was used to measure bone mineral density (BMD) at both hips. The results showed that low hip bone mass was found in 59 and 50 of the participants on the affected and unaffected side, respectively. The mean hip BMD was also significantly lower on the affected side than the unaf...

Core Temperature in Service Members With and Without Traumatic Amputations During a Prolonged Endurance Event.
CONCLUSION: Until conclusive evidence is accumulated, it is prudent for military leaders, trainers, and military service members to closely monitor this population during physical activity to prevent heat injuries.

Bilateral changes in muscle architecture of physically active people with chronic stroke: a quantitative muscle ultrasound study
Stroke is primarily regarded as a central nervous system (CNS) disorder, but post-stroke structural changes in skeletal muscles have been described. Imaging techniques such as Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) and Computed Tomography (CT) have revealed atrophy in several paretic side muscles of stroke survivors (English et al., 2010; Scherbakov et al., 2015). In addition to atrophy, increased intramuscular fat has been found in hemiparetic muscles of post-stroke patients (Ryan et al., 2002, Klein et al., 2010, Ryan et al., 2011).
