Understanding the impact of radical changes in diet and the gut microbiota on brain function and structure: rationale and design of the EMBRACE study

Author(s): Ben-Porat T; Alberga A; Audet MC; Belleville S; Cohen TR; Garneau PY; Lavoie KL; Marion P; Mellah S; Pescarus R; Rahme E; Santosa S; Studer ...

Background: Bariatric surgery leads to profound changes in gut microbiota and dietary patterns, both of which may interact to impact gut-brain communication. Though cognitive function improves post ...

Acute evening high-intensity interval training may attenuate the detrimental effects of sleep restriction on long-term declarative memory

Author(s): Emmanuel Frimpong

Recent evidence shows that a nap and acute exercise synergistically enhanced memory. Additionally, human-based cross-sectional studies and animal experiments suggest that physical exercise may mitigate the cognitive impairments of poor sleep quality and sle ...

Ultrasonography of the multifidus muscle in student circus artists with and without low back pain: a cross-sectional study

Author(s): Bianca Rossini

CONCLUSION: This study provided novel insights into LM characteristics in circus artists. Greater LM asymmetry was observed in artists with a history of low back pain. In accordance with previous studies in athletes, LM morphology and function were highly c ...

Slow oscillation-spindle cross-frequency coupling predicts overnight declarative memory consolidation in older adults

Author(s): Oren M Weiner

Cross-frequency coupling (CFC) between brain oscillations during non-rapid-eye-movement (NREM) sleep (e.g. slow oscillations [SO] and spindles) may be a neural mechanism of overnight memory consolidation. Declines in CFC across the lifespan might accompany ...

Comparison of paraspinal muscle composition measurements using IDEAL fat-water and T2-weighted MR images

Author(s): Sara Masi

CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that utilizing fat-water and T2-weighted MR images are comparable for quantifying multifidus and erector spinae muscle composition but not of the psoas major. While this suggests that both methods could be used interchangeab ...

Impact of Dietary Counseling on Health-Related Quality of Life in Patients with Cancer Awaiting Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Surgery

Author(s): Popi Kasvis

We examined the effectiveness of dietary counseling performed within a trimodal prehabilitation study for patients with cancer awaiting hepato-pancreato-biliary (HPB) surgery. Additionally, we explored relationships between nutritional status and health-rel ...

Barriers and facilitators to diet, physical activity and lifestyle behavior intervention adherence: a qualitative systematic review of the literature

Author(s): Alysha L Deslippe

CONCLUSIONS: Lifestyle interventions that foster self-regulatory skills, opportunities for social engagement and personalization of goals may improve behaviour adherence. This can be achieved through inclusion of BCT, tapering off of intervention supports, ...

Sex-specific relationships between obesity, physical activity, and gray and white matter volume in cognitively unimpaired older adults

Author(s): Brittany Intzandt

Independently, obesity and physical activity (PA) influence cerebral structure in aging, yet their interaction has not been investigated. We examined sex differences in the relationships among PA, obesity, and cerebral structure in aging with 340 participan ...

Body Composition Asymmetry in University Rugby Players: Influence of Sex, Position, and Injury

Author(s): Tamara R Cohen

CONCLUSION: Our results revealed the presence of side-to-side asymmetries in body composition in university rugby players between sex and position. The amount of asymmetry, however, was not associated with LBP and LLI.

Adolescents' reports of chaos within the family home environment: Investigating associations with lifestyle behaviours and obesity

Author(s): Van Hulst A; Jayanetti S; Sanson-Rosas AM; Harbec MJ; Kakinami L; Barnett TA; Henderson M; ...

Objective: Disorganised and chaotic home environments may hinder the adoption of healthy lifestyle behaviours and contribute to excessive weight gain among adolescents. We examined whether self-rep ...

Comparison of multifidus muscle intramuscular fat by ultrasound echo intensity and fat-water based MR images in individuals with chronic low back pain

Author(s): Jenna Crook

CONCLUSION: US is a low-cost, non-invasive, accessible, and reliable method to examine muscle composition, and presents a promising solution for assessing and monitoring the effect of different treatment options for CLBP in clinical settings.
