BACKGROUND: Body weight supported treadmill training (BWSTT) is a frequently used approach for restoring the ability to walk after spinal cord injury (SCI). However, the duration of BWSTT is usually limited by fatigue of the therapists and patients. ...
Ideally, humane endpoints allow for early termination of experiments by minimizing an animal's discomfort, distress and pain, while ensuring that scientific objectives are reached. Yet, lack of commonly agreed methodology and heterogeneity of cut-off...
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Current non-invasive scores for the assessment of severity of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and identification of patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) have insufficient performance to be included in clinic...
AIMS: Imatinib plasma trough levels (IM Cmin) have been reported to have a considerable clinical impact in patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). We therefore have investigated the factors affecting IM plasma concentration in Chinese ...
BACKGROUND: Waist circumference (WC) and z scores of body mass index (BMI) are commonly used to predict childhood obesity, although BMI and WC have a limited sensitivity.

INTRODUCTION: Physiological responses are rarely considered during walking after stroke and if considered, only during a short period (3-6 minutes). The aims of this study were to examine physiological responses during 30-minute robot-assisted and bo...
The majority of insect species have a clearly defined larval stage during development. Larval nutrition is crucial for individuals' growth and development, and larval foraging success often depends on both resource availability and competition for th...
Obesity is increasingly prevalent and associated with increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an accurate method for determination of body fat volume and distribution. How...
Veterinary parasitology, regional studies and reports

Since 2012, New Zealand has suffered from an epidemic of infectious bovine anaemia associated with T. orientalis (Ikeda), an obligate intracellular protozoan parasite of cattle. Despite widespread agreement that T. orientalis (Ikeda) infection has im...
BACKGROUND: Dry weight is the lowest weight patients on hemodialysis can tolerate; correct dry weight estimation is necessary to minimize morbi-mortality, but is difficult to achieve. Here, we used artificial intelligence to improve the accuracy of d...
