The impact of lesion side on bilateral upper limb coordination after stroke

Author(s): Shih PC; Steele CJ; Hoepfel D; Muffel T; Villringer A; Sehm B;

Background: A stroke frequently results in impaired performance of activities of daily life. Many of these are highly dependent on effective coordination between the two arms. In the context of bimanual movements, cyclic rhythmical bilateral arm coordination patterns can be classified into two fundamental modes: in-phase (bilateral homologous muscles cont ...

Criminal Code reform of HIV non-disclosure is urgently needed: Social science perspectives on the harms of HIV criminalization in Canada

Author(s): Hastings C; French M; McClelland A; Mykhalovskiy E; Adam B; Bisaillon L; Bogosavljevic K; Gagnon M; Greene S; Guta A; Hindmarch S; Kaida A; Kilty J; Massaquoi N; Namaste V; O' Byrne P; Orsini M; Patterson S; Sanders C; Symington A; ...

The criminalization of HIV non-disclosure represents a significant issue of concern among people living with HIV, those working across the HIV sector, public health practitioners, and health and human rights advocates around the world. Recently, the government of Canada began a review of the crim ...

Cognates are advantaged over non-cognates in early bilingual expressive vocabulary development

Author(s): Mitchell L; Tsui RK; Byers-Heinlein K;

Bilinguals need to learn two words for most concepts. These words are called translation equivalents, and those that also sound similar (e.g., banana-banane) are called cognates. Research has consistently shown that children and adults process and name cognates more easily than non-cognates. The present study explored if there is such an advantage for cog ...

Children and chrono-exercise: Timing of physical activity on school and weekend days depends on sex and obesity status

Author(s): Reid RER; Henderson M; Barnett TA; Kakinami L; Tremblay A; Mathieu ME;

Recommendations for physical activity (PA) typically focus on frequency, intensity, duration, and type, but timing (chrono-exercise) is also important. The objective of this study is to describe when children are active on school and weekend days and explore PA timing across sex and body mass index (BMI) categories. 359 children (53% male), aged 9.6 (0.9) ...

Single-cell imaging of protein dynamics of paralogs reveals mechanisms of gene retention

Author(s): Dandage R; Papkov M; Greco BM; Fishman D; Friesen H; Wang K; Styles E; Kraus O; Grys B; Boone C; Andrews B; Parts L; Kuzmin E;

Gene duplication is common across the tree of life, including yeast and humans, and contributes to genomic robustness. In this study, we examined changes in the subcellular localization and abundance of proteins in response to the deletion of their paralogs originating from the whole-genome dupli ...

Microgeographic variation in demography and thermal regimes stabilize regional abundance of a widespread freshwater fish

Author(s): Gallagher BK; Fraser DJ;

Predicting the persistence of species under climate change is an increasingly important objective in ecological research and management. However, biotic and abiotic heterogeneity can drive asynchrony in population responses at small spatial scales, complicating species-level assessments. For widely distributed species consisting of many fragmented populat ...

Condition-dependent survival and movement behavior in an endangered endemic damselfly

Author(s): Mahdjoub H; Zebsa R; Kahalerras A; Amari H; Bensouilah S; Samways MJ; Khelifa R;

Movement is essential for the maintenance of populations in their natural habitats, particularly for threatened species living in fluctuating environments. Empirical evidence suggests that the probability and distance of movement in territorial species are context-dependent, often depending on population density and sex. Here, we investigate the movement ...

Current Practices in LC-MS Untargeted Metabolomics: A Scoping Review on the Use of Pooled Quality Control Samples

Author(s): Broeckling CD; Beger RD; Cheng LL; Cumeras R; Cuthbertson DJ; Dasari S; Davis WC; Dunn WB; Evans AM; Fernández-Ochoa A; Gika H; Goodacre R; Goodman KD; Gouveia GJ; Hsu PC; Kirwan JA; Kodra D; Kuligowski J; Lan RS; Monge ME; Moussa LW; Na ...

Untargeted metabolomics is an analytical approach with numerous applications serving as an effective metabolic phenotyping platform to characterize small molecules within a biological system. Data quality can be challenging to evaluate and demonstrate in metabolomics experiments. This has driven ...

Comparative analysis of functional diversity of rumen microbiome in bison and beef heifers

Author(s): Nguyen TTM; Badhan AK; Reid ID; Ribeiro G; Gruninger R; Tsang A; Guan LL; McAllister T;

Ruminants play a key role in the conversion of cellulolytic plant material into high-quality meat and milk protein for humans. The rumen microbiome is the driver of this conversion, yet there is little information on how gene expression within the microbiome impacts the efficiency of this conversion process. The current study investigates gene expression ...

Heterogeneity in the trajectories of psychological distress among late adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic

Author(s): Gouin JP; de la Torre-Luque A; Sánchez-Carro Y; Geoffroy MC; Essau C;

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has constrained opportunities in social, educational and professional domains, leading to developmental challenges for adolescents initiating their transition to adulthood. Meta-analysis indicated that there was a small increase in psychological distress during the first year of the COVID-19 pan ...

Primates and disability: Behavioral flexibility and implications for resilience to environmental change

Author(s): Stewart BM; Joyce MM; Creeggan J; Eccles S; Gerwing MG; Turner SE;

Congenital malformations, conditions, injuries, and illness can lead to long-term physical impairment and disability in nonhuman primates. How individual primates change their behaviors flexibly to compensate for their disabilities can inform our understanding of their resilience and ability to adjust to environmental change. Here, we synthesize the liter ...
