Dosimetry of [18F]TRACK, the first PET tracer for imaging of TrkB/C receptors in humans

Author(s): Thiel A; Kostikov A; Ahn H; Daoud Y; Soucy JP; Blinder S; Jaworski C; Wängler C; Wängler B; Juengling F; Enger SA; Schirrmacher R; ...

Background: Reduced expression or impaired signalling of tropomyosin receptor kinases (Trk receptors) are found in a vast spectrum of CNS disorders. [18F]TRACK is the first PET radioligand for TrkB ...

At-home computerized executive-function training to improve cognition and mobility in normal-hearing adults and older hearing aid users: a multi-centre, single-blinded randomized controlled trial

Author(s): Downey R; Gagné N; Mohanathas N; Campos JL; Pichora-Fuller KM; Bherer L; Lussier M; Phillips NA; Wittich W; St-Onge N; Gagné JP; Li K; ...

Background: Hearing loss predicts cognitive decline and falls risk. It has been argued that degraded hearing makes listening effortful, causing competition for higher-level cognitive resources need ...

Lactate's behavioral switch in the brain: An in-silico model

Author(s): Soltanzadeh M; Blanchard S; Soucy JP; Benali H;

Emerging evidence emphasizes lactate's involvement in both physiological processes (energy metabolism, memory, etc.) and disease (traumatic brain injury, epilepsy, etc.). Furthermore, the usefulness of mathematical modeling in deciphering underlying dyn ...

Cervical muscle morphometry and composition demonstrate prognostic value in degenerative cervical myelopathy outcomes

Author(s): Naghdi N; Elliott JM; Weber MH; Fehlings MG; Fortin M;

Objectives: This study aimed to examine whether preoperative cervical muscle size, composition, and asymmetry from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can predict post-operative outcomes in patients with degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM). Methods: A tota ...

The effects of acute exercise and a nap on heart rate variability and memory in young sedentary adults

Author(s): Mograss M; Frimpong E; Vilcourt F; Chouchou F; Zvionow T; Dang-Vu TT;

Recent evidence suggests that the autonomic nervous system can contribute to memory consolidation during sleep. Whether fluctuations in cardiac autonomic activity during sleep following physical exercise contribute to the process of memory consolidation has ...

Compensatory health motivations and behaviors scale: Development, evaluation, psychometric properties and a preliminary validation

Author(s): Sedemedes K; Knäuper B; Sadikaj G; Yuan TY; Wrosch C; Santosa S; Alberga AS; Kakinami L;

The "Compensatory Health Beliefs" scale assesses the degree to which one believes that unhealthy behaviours can be compensated through healthier ones. However, no validated scale to assess compensatory weight-related behaviors exists. The study's object ...

Improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness, muscle strength and body composition to modest weight loss are similar in those with adult- versus childhood-onset obesity

Author(s): Lucas Guimarães Almeida

Adults who have had obesity from childhood are at greater risk of obesity-related comorbidities compared to those who only develop obesity in adulthood. The main way of mitigating these risks in obesity is with weight loss, which has been shown to positivel ...

The Effects of Combined Motor Control and Isolated Extensor Strengthening versus General Exercise on Paraspinal Muscle Morphology, Composition, and Function in Patients with Chronic Low Back Pain: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Author(s): Fortin M; Rye M; Roussac A; Montpetit C; Burdick J; Naghdi N; Rosenstein B; Bertrand C; Macedo LG; Elliott JM; Dover G; DeMont R; Weber MH; ...

Low back pain (LBP), a globally widespread and persistent musculoskeletal disorder, benefits from exercise therapy. However, it remains unclear which type leads to greater changes in paraspinal mus ...

Targeted density electrode placement achieves high concordance with traditional high-density EEG for electrical source imaging in epilepsy

Author(s): Horrillo-Maysonnial A; Avigdor T; Abdallah C; Mansilla D; Thomas J; von Ellenrieder N; Royer J; Bernhardt B; Grova C; Gotman J; Frauscher B; ...

Objective: High-density (HD) electroencephalography (EEG) is increasingly used in presurgical epilepsy evaluation, but it is demanding in time and resources. To overcome these issues, we compared E ...

Cancer symptom burden negatively affects health-related quality of life in patients undergoing prehabilitation prior to liver resection: results from a 12-week randomized controlled trial

Author(s): Kasvis P; Vigano A; Bui T; Carli F; Kilgour R;

Cancer symptoms negatively affect health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with cancer awaiting liver resection. Prehabilitation maintained HRQoL after surgery. Future studies should test whether relieving cancer symptoms can improve HRQoL.

A Qualitative Evaluation of a Plate-Method Dietary Self-Monitoring Tool in a Sample of Adults Over 50

Author(s): Bouchaud CC; Chriqui JR; Slim M; Gouin JP; Plourde H; Cohen TR;

Background: Self-monitoring is an important behavioral change technique to help users initiate and maintain dietary changes. Diet self-monitoring tools often involve the itemization of foods and recording of serving sizes. However, this traditional method o ...

The Effect of Transcutaneous Electrotherapy on Lumbar Range of Motion and Paraspinal Muscle Characteristics in Chronic Low Back Pain Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

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

Chronic low back pain (CLBP) affects paraspinal muscle size, quality (e.g., fatty infiltration), range of motion (ROM), and strength. Although transcutaneous electrotherapies are used to treat CLBP, their effects on paraspinal-related outcomes are not fully ...
