The Impact of Coronary Artery Disease on Brain Vascular and Metabolic Health: Links to Cognitive Function

Author(s): Sanami S; Tremblay SA; Rezaei A; Potvin-Jutras Z; Sabra D; Intzandt B; Gagnon C; Mainville-Berthiaume A; Wright L; Gayda M; Iglesies-Grau J; Nigam A; Bherer L; Gauthier CJ;

Coronary artery disease (CAD), the leading cause of mortality worldwide, is increasingly recognized for its impact on brain health and cognition, yet the mechanisms linking CAD to vascular and metabolic alterations in the brain remain poorly understood. Prior work has identified regional deficits ...

Patterns of Structural Disconnection Driving Proprioceptive Deficits in Chronic Stroke

Author(s): Kaeja M; Gajiyeva L; Iturria-Medina Y; Villringer A; Sehm B; Steele C;

Background: Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability, with proprioceptive impairments affecting up to 64% of survivors. These impairments hinder sensorimotor recovery, significantly impacting poststroke quality of life. Proprioception depends on an integrated brain network but remains underexplored due to limitations in clinical assessments, hind ...

Longitudinal effects of cerebrovascular reactivity and cerebral pulsatility in cognitively intact older adults with APOE4: links with cognition

Author(s): Potvin-Jutras Z; Tremblay PL; Mohammadi H; Villeneuve S; Spreng RN; Gauthier CJ;

The apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4) allele is the strongest genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and is linked to poorer cerebrovascular health. Cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR), an indicator of vascular reserve, and cerebral pulsatility (CP), a marker of vascular stiffness, are sensitive biomarkers of early vascular dysfunction associated with ...

The Effect of a 10-Week Electromyostimulation Intervention with the StimaWELL 120MTRS System on Multifidus Morphology and Function in Chronic Low Back Pain Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Author(s): Wolfe D; Rosenstein B; Dover G; Boily M; Fortin M;

Background: Chronic low back pain (CLBP) patients present with morphological and functional deficits to the lumbar multifidus. Electromyostimulation (EMS) can be used to improve activation and strength in atrophied skeletal muscle, but its effect on multifidus morphology and function in CLBP patients is understudied. The aims of this study were to compare ...

Personalized biomarkers of multiscale functional alterations in temporal lobe epilepsy

Author(s): Xie K; Sahlas E; Ngo A; Chen J; Arafat T; Royer J; Zhou Y; Rodríguez-Cruces R; Dascal A; Caldairou B; Fadaie F; Barnett A; Audrain S; Larivière S; Caciagli L; Pana R; Weil AG; Grova C; Frauscher B; Schrader DV; Zhang Z; Concha L; Bernasc ...

Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is the most common pharmacoresistant epilepsy in adults, yet few patients receive curative surgery due to diagnostic and prognostic uncertainty. In a multicenter cohort, we analyzed multimodal MRI and clinical data from 282 TLE patients, 298 healthy controls, and 45 d ...

Cerebral small vessel disease lesion segmentation methods: A systematic review

Author(s): Phelps J; Singh M; McCreary CR; Dallaire-Théroux C; Stein RG; Potvin-Jutras Z; Guan DX; Wu JD; Metz A; Smith EE;

Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) can manifest as brain lesions visible on magnetic resonance imaging, including white matter hyperintensities (WMH), cerebral microbleeds (CMB), perivascular spaces (PVS), lacunes, and recent small subcortical infarcts (RSSI). Detection and segmentation of thes ...

The legality of weight discrimination in Canada: an environmental scan of case law and the limits of Canadian legislation

Author(s): Nutter S; Waugh R; McEachran E; Toor A; Shelley J; Alberga AS; Forhan M; Kirk SF; Nagpal TS; Patton I; Ramos Salas X; Russell-Mayhew S;

Weight stigma negatively impacts people with higher weights across the lifespan as well as social contexts and can lead to weight discrimination. As weight is not a protected identity in Canadian human rights legislation, it is important to better understand how weight discrimination is being arg ...
