Task-specific training reduces trip-related fall risk in women
(American College of Sports Medicine, 2012-12)
Purpose: The potential of task-specific training as a fall-prevention intervention was studied.
The primary purpose of the study was to determine the extent to which a task-specific training
protocol decreased the number ...
Exercise Training Effects on Inflammatory Gene Expression in White Adipose Tissue of YoungMice
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2012-12)
We aimed to determine the effects of 6 wks of exercise on inflammatory markers in mice concomitantly fed either high-fat (HF) or normal chow (NC) diets in young mice. C57BL/6 mice were randomized into (n = 10/group) an ...
Cytokine expression profiles of immune imbalance in post-mononucleosis chronic fatigue
(BioMed Central, 2012-09)
Background: As Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) has been known to follow Epstein-Bar virus (EBV) and other
systemic infections; our objective was to describe differences in immune activation in post-infective CFS ...
Dose-Response Relationship Between In-Hospital Mortality and Alcohol Following Acute Injury
(Elsevier Masson, 2012-12)
Although the relationship between alcohol and injury incidence is well researched, there continues to be dispute about the relationship between alcohol and mortality following an injury. Findings from past studies have ...
Effective Exercises for Targeting the Gluteus Medius
(Human Kinetics, 2012-08)
The gluteus medius (GM) is thought to play an important role in stabilizing the pelvis
and controlling femoral adduction and internal rotation during functional activity. GM weakness, resulting
in decreased stabilization ...
Improvement in coronary heart disease risk factors during an intermittent fasting/calorie restriction regimen: Relationship to adipokine modulations
(BioMed Central, 2012-10)
Background: The ability of an intermittent fasting (IF)-calorie restriction (CR) regimen (with or without liquid meals) to modulate adipokines in a way that is protective against coronary heart disease (CHD) has yet to be ...
Enhancing motor skill learning with transcranial direct current stimulation - a concise review with applications to stroke
(Frontiers Media, 2012-07)
In the past few years, there has been a rapid increase in the application of non-invasive brain stimulation to study brain-behavior relations in an effort to potentially increase the effectiveness of neuro-rehabilitation. ...
Two types of slip-induced falls among community dwelling older adults
(Elsevier, 2012-04)
Little is known about the landing behavior of the trailing (recovery) foot and ensuing types of falls following a forward slip in walking. The purposes of this study were to 1) determine if community-dwelling older adults ...
Rosiglitazone Improves Survival and Hastens Recovery from Pancreatic Inflammation in Obese Mice
(Public Library of Science, 2012-07)
Obesity increases severity of acute pancreatitis (AP) by unclear mechanisms. We investigated the effect of the PPAR-gamma
agonist rosiglitazone (RGZ, 0.01% in the diet) on severity of AP induced by administration of IL-12+ ...
Sensitivity of Dynamic Stability to Changes in Step Width During Treadmill Walking by Young Adults
(Human Kinetics, 2012-11)
Recent experimental findings support theoretical predictions that across walking conditions the motor system chooses foot placement to achieve a constant minimum "margin of stability" (MOSmin)-distance between the extrapolated ...
