Spatio-temporal parameters and intralimb coordination patterns describing hemiparetic locomotion at controlled speed
Conclusion: Comparisons between hemiparetic and healthy gait should be carried out when all participants are asked to seek the same suitable dynamic equilibrium led by the same external (i.e., the speed) and internal (i.e., severity of the pathology) conditions. In this respect, biomechanical adaptations reflecting the pathology can be better highlighted by coordinative patterns of coupled segments within each limb than by the spatio-temporal parameters. Accordingly, a deep analysis of the intralimb coordination may be helpful for clinicians while designing therapeutic treatments.

Acute left sided numbness and weakness in a weightlifter
Conclusion Practitioners should be aware of the potential adverse nutritional consequences of supplement consumption. The extent to which this case was influenced by the history of concussions is unknown, but should not be dismissed.

Imaging of the Vulnerable Carotid Plaque: Biological Targeting of Inflammation in Atherosclerosis using Iron Oxide Particles and MRI
This study aims at visualizing and characterizing atherosclerosis using antibody-conjugated superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) particles as an MRI probe to assess inflammation in human atherosclerotic plaques.Methods: Atherosclerotic plaques were collected from 20 consecutive patients (n = 10 from symptomatic patients, n = 10 from asymptomatic patients) undergoing carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for extracranial high-grade internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis (>70% luminal narrowing). Inflammatory markers on human atherosclerotic plaques were detected and characterized by ex vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using...

Prolonged QTc interval and Insula in patients with ischemic stroke: Inductive or abductive reasoning?
While a great emphasis has been placed on pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the long QT syndromes (LQTS), both congenital and acquired forms, little attention has been focused on the mechanisms whereby a brain damage could induce changes in the QTc interval. Until now, there has been no precise explanation for the frequently observed relationship between acute cerebrovascular events and QTc interval prolongation. Many excellent studies with inductive reasoning proposed QTc effects of insular cortex stimulation [1,2] Few and controversial studies with abductive reasoning investigated an association between prolonged ...

Prolonged transesophageal echocardiography during percutaneous closure of the left atrial appendage without general anesthesia: the utility of the Janus mask.
CONCLUSION: Deep sedation with noninvasive ventilation may be a reasonable and safe alternative to general endotracheal anesthesia in patients requiring prolonged TEE for noninvasive cardiac procedures, including LAA closure. PMID: 27117991 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Left atrial appendage closure without general anaesthesia
Left atrial appendage closure is an important interventional procedure to prevent stroke in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation and contraindication to anticoagulants. Because it requires the patient not to move and the performance of a continuous and prolonged transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE), such procedure is usually performed under general anaesthesia. The risk of general anaesthesia in the elderly is associated with difficult airway control, malignant hyperthermia, residual neuromuscular block, high risk of postoperative pulmonary complications, and the risk of accelerated cognitive decline.

Prevalence, incidence and mortality from cardiovascular disease in patients with pooled and specific severe mental illness: a large-scale meta-analysis of 3,211,768 patients and 113,383,368 controls.
Abstract People with severe mental illness (SMI) - schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder - appear at risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD), but a comprehensive meta-analysis is lacking. We conducted a large-scale meta-analysis assessing the prevalence and incidence of CVD; coronary heart disease; stroke, transient ischemic attack or cerebrovascular disease; congestive heart failure; peripheral vascular disease; and CVD-related death in SMI patients (N=3,211,768) versus controls (N=113,383,368) (92 studies). The pooled CVD prevalence in SMI patients (mean age 50 years) was 9.9% (95% CI: 7.4-...

Inflammation and Atrial Electrical Remodeling in Patients With Embolic Strokes of Undetermined Source
About one third of ischaemic strokes are classified as embolic strokes of undetermined source (ESUS). A silent atrial fibrillation (AF) may play a pathogenic role in these strokes and P wave dispersion (PWD), representing an electrocardiograph (ECG) predictor for paroxysmal AF, thereby a potential marker of covert cardioembolism, was found to be increased in cryptogenic stroke. Furthermore, current evidence links AF to inflammation: inflammatory markers, such as high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP), have been related to the development and persistence of AF, possibly by promoting atrial remodelling.

Osteoporosis and Sarcopenia Increase Frailty Syndrome in the Elderly
Conclusions World population is aging and the increase in life expectancy is often unhealthy. In particular, musculoskeletal aging, which leads to sarcopenia and osteoporosis, has several causes such as changes in body composition, inflammation, and hormonal imbalance. Sarcopenia, osteoporosis, and more frequently, sarcopenic obesity are commonly associated with aging and frequently closely linked each other, often leading to the development of a frailty syndrome. Frailty syndrome favors an increased risk of loss function in daily activities, for cardiovascular diseases, cancers, falls, and mortality. As the number of eld...
