Background: The relationship between task-related hemodynamic activity and brain excitability is poorly understood in humans as it is technically challenging to combine simultaneously non-invasive brain stimulation and neuroimaging modalities. Cortical excitability corresponds to the readiness to ...

This study, using Hyalella azteca and Chironomus riparius, evaluated the effects of exposure to heavy metal-contaminated sediments collected from the study area under three conditions: before remediation, after remediation, and suspended particulate matter (SPM). The selected toxicity tests allowed for the evaluation of biological responses across varying ...

TikTok is a popular social media platform increasingly used to disseminate health information and personal experiences, including among women with pain. Characterising health-related content can help understand how public perceptions are shaped and guide improvements in patient care. Although women with pain often seek information on social media, little ...

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between different characteristics of the Thoracolumbar Fascia (TLF) (e.g., length, epimuscular fat distribution) with pain status and lumbar extension strength in a sample of participants with and without chronic low back pain (CLBP). Methodology: This cross-sectional study included 2 ...

Introduction: Evidence on degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) has frequently focussed on surgical management, overlooking the role of non-surgical clinicians. Their contributions in the patient journey remain largely underexplored in the literature. Research question: What is the role of non- ...

Family language strategies are approaches that parents adopt for language use with their multilingual children. In bilingual contexts, these strategies influence children's language exposure and development (Macleod et al., 2022). In the more complex context of trilingualism, how families settle on strategies and their relationship with exposure may d ...

Background: Although individuals with chronic low back pain (CLBP) show increased fatty infiltration in the lumbar multifidus muscle (LMM), it remains unclear whether LMM changes are related to clinical outcomes (such as pain and disability) after considering confounders (spinal phenotypes, fear-avoidance beliefs [FABs] and insomnia). This study examined: ...
