Abstract

Longitudinal repeated-measures; within-subject control. We examined the extent to which an isometric plantar flexion training protocol attenuates bone loss longitudinally after SCI. After spinal cord injury (SCI), bone mineral density (BMD) of paralyzed extremities rapidly declines, likely because of loss of mechanical loading of bone via muscle contractions. Six individuals with complete paralysis began a 3-year unilateral plantar flexor muscle activation program within 4.5 months after SCI. The opposite limb served as a control. Compliance with recommended dose was > 80%. Tibia compressive force was > 140% of body weight. Bilateral hip and untrained tibia BMD declined significantly over the course of the training. Lumbar spine BMD showed minimal change. Percent decline in BMD (from the baseline condition) for the trained tibia (approximately 10%) was significantly less than the untrained tibia (approximately 25%) (P < 0.05). Trained limb percent decline in BMD remained steady over the first 1.5 years of the study (P < 0.05). Compressive loads of approximately 1 to 2 times body weight, induced by muscle contractions, partially prevent the loss of BMD after SCI. Future studies should establish dose-response curves for attenuati...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.
