Comparison of functional and qualitative data following robot assisted therapy and modified constraint induced movement therapy with sub-acute stroke patients : a pilot randomised controlled trial
… following programmes of mCIMT and RAT in the subacute phase after stroke. Participant and therapist views of the two interventions were also explored, including the barriers and facilitators to uptake in clinical practice. Methods: A mixed methods approach was used in this research. Thirteen …

A randomised controlled feasibility trial to investigate the effects of a functional standing frame programme versus usual physiotherapy to improve function and quality of life and reduce neuromuscular impairment in people with severe sub-acute stroke
… early after severe stroke during inpatient sub-acute rehabilitation is unknown. Methods A systematic review of non-pharmacological interventions to treat OH in people with neurological conditions was undertaken to inform a protocol for the management of OH during the functional standing …

Neuropsychiatric features of HIV/AIDS
… of HIV characterized by symptoms suggestive of sub-acute delirium and cognitive impairment. It was also hypothesised that HIV-associated mania and psychosis are AIDS-defining features and should be indications for antiretroviral treatment.

Nurse Shift Handoff Report at the Patient's Bedside: Improving Nurse-to-Nurse Communication
… to BSR implementation, shift handoffs in the sub-acute unit were being conducted at the nurse’s station or by the medication carts. Nurse shift handoffs were often rushed, inconsistent, and ineffective, which made it difficult for the nurses to give and receive a more accurate and complete …

Impaired Behavioral and Pathological Outcomes Following Blast Neurotrauma
… have demonstrated cognitive deficits at an acute stage following blast overpressure (BOP) exposure. However, the behavioral deficit type (e.g., short term memory) and the mechanism underlying injury prognosis that onsets the cognitive deficits remains to be further investigated. An …

DEVELOPMENT OF A ROBOTIC EXOSKELETON SYSTEM FOR GAIT REHABILITATION
… overground gait rehabilitation training to sub-acute and chronic stroke patients at home and outpatient setting. The exoskeleton robotic system consists of a knee joint and an ankle joint, which is wearable, lightweight and in modular design. The robotic joint is actuated by a novel series …

Throwing performance and shoulder injury risk in adolescent male water polo players in South Africa: exploring anthropometric and musculoskeletal parameters and evaluating the impact of a four week in-season conditioning program
… the specific factors that contribute to both sub-acute and chronic shoulder pain. Additionally, there is a dearth of evidence on the effectiveness of injury prevention interventions; programs designed to decrease the likelihood of injury and enhance performance. This novel research therefore …

Home-Based Rehabilitation and its Impact on Hospital Utilization
… are not receiving them. The study examined a subset of elderly clients receiving home care following a hospital discharge during 2009-2010. The aim of this study was to: understand the difference between those home care clients who received occupational therapy or physiotherapy and those who …

Longitudinal Changes in Resting-State Connectivity after Traumatic Axonal Injury
… connectivity in these networks at the sub-acute stage of injury, (b) evaluate longitudinal change in networks with recovery, and (c) explore how this change might be associated with structural connectivity and neurocognitive outcome. Resting-state fMRI and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) …

Mitochondrial Dynamics Alteration in Astrocytes Following Primary Blast-Induced Traumatic Brain Injury
… of high-pressure static blast forces and their subsequent energy transmission within brain tissue. Current literature presents a neuro-centric approach to the role of mitochondria dynamics dysfunction in bTBI; however, changes in astrocyte-specific mitochondrial dynamics have not been …

Toxic Effects of an Anionic Detergent on the Gills of Trout
… death is associated with lysosome formation. Acute inflammation of the gill tissue, extensive detachment of the epithelium and collapse of the pillar cell system occur. At concentrations above about 120 mg/1, very rapid lysis of cells results in the complete disruption of cellular and tissue …

Effects of clay supplementation on rumen environment, metabolism, inflammation, and performance in dairy cows
… challenges. Challenge one was to induce sub-acute ruminal acidosis by challenge cows intraruminally with ground wheat and the second challenge introduced corn spiked with aflatoxin directly into the rumen. For the two challenges, 10 multiparous rumen-cannulated Holstein cows [BW (mean ± …

Striatal Dopamine Dynamics Upon Manganese Accumulation
… In my research, Mn overexposure is mimicked via subcutaneous administration of manganese chloride to C57BL/6 mice over the course of seven days using a protocol that has been shown to result in accumulation of Mn in the basal ganglia. The subsequent short and long term effects of this treatment …

Elucidating the role of bone morphogenetic protein-4 in regulating secondary injury mechanisms following traumatic spinal cord injury
… protein-4 (BMP4) is transiently and acutely upregulated after injury. BMP4 is a key signaling protein that regulates embryogenesis and neurodevelopment. BMP4 has also been implicated in modulating glial scarring and remyelination in sub-acute and chronic SCI in rodents. However, the …
