Article Abstract
Objectives: To determine the Effect of Hybrid functional electrically stimulated (FES) Exercise on Body Composition during the Sub-acute Phase of Spinal Cord Injury (SCI).
Design: Randomized Clinical Trial.
Setting: Rehabilitation Hospital.
Participants: Patients within sub-acute phase (3-24 months) of SCI.
Interventions: We investigated if high-intensity exercise training via the addition of functional electrically stimulated (FES) leg muscles, provides sufficient stimulus to mitigate against body composition changes in the sub-acute phase after SCI.
Main Outcome Measures: We explored potential effects of FES row training (FESRT) on body fat gain, lean mass loss, and cardiometabolic parameters and compared the effects of 6-month of FESRT (n = 18) to standard of care (SOC, n = 13). Those in SOC were crossed over to FESRT.
Results: FESRT resulted in greater exercise capacity and a tendency for lesser total body fat accumulation with a significant increase in total and leg lean mass (p<0.05). In addition pelvis and total bone mineral density declines were significantly less (p<0.05). Compared to SOC, FESRT did not lead to any significant difference in insulin sensitivity or serum lipids. However, HbA1C levels were significantly decreased in SOC participants who crossed over to 6-month FESRT.
Conclusion: FESRT early after SCI provides a sufficient stimulus to mitigate against detrimental body composition changes. This may lead to prevention of losses in lean mass, including bone.

Longitudinal brain ageing after stroke: a marker for neurodegeneration and its relevance for upper limb motor outcome.

Brain age, as distinct from chronological age, may reveal post-stroke recovery mechanisms, but longitudinal studies tracking brain age are lacking. We explored longitudinal change of brain age post-stroke and its relation to upper limb sensorimotor outcome. T-weighted MRI at baseline (∼3 weeks) and follow-up (3-7 months) post-stroke was used to estimate brain age.

In this study, we have evaluated the in vivo safety in rats and the efficacy of the probiotic strain Bacillus clausii (shouchella clausi) PBC429™ in mice for the treatment of diarrhea. In the acute toxicity study, a single oral dose of 2000 mg/kg (500 × 10 CFU/g) was administered to rats, followed by a sub-acute toxicity study for 28 days with repeated oral administration of Bacillus clausii PBC429™ at a dose of 250, 500, and 1000 mg/kg/day. In the present study, two doses of Bacillus clausii PBC429™ were tested in mice with castor oil-induced diarrhea.

Neuroinflammation, predominantly associated with glial activation and the release of various inflammatory mediators, is a vital hallmark of the pathophysiology of epilepsy. Numerous studies have indicated that identifying novel factors that diminish neuroinflammatory processes may be important for developing effective therapeutic strategies to prevent neuropathological processes and epileptogenic progression. Transient receptor potential vanilloid 5 (TRPV5) is a highly selective calcium ion channel belonging to the TRPV family.

Background: Transitioning from a sub-acute hospital to home is highly desirable to some palliative and end-of-life individuals and their family caregivers, but the transition process itself is complex and can be logistically challenging. This formative assessment sought to better understand what constitutes a successful sub-acute hospital-to-home transition from the perspectives of health care providers connected to a sub-acute care facility in Ottawa, Canada, with reflections from a patient and a family caregiver.
Methods: Our descriptive qualitative study involved 13 virtual interviews and one virtual focus group between February and May 2023.

Background: Stroke and its related complications, place significant burdens on human society in the twenty-first century, and lead to substantial demands for upper limb rehabilitation. To fulfill the rehabilitation needs, human-machine interaction (HMI) technology strives continuously. Depends on the involvement of subject, HMI strategy can be classified as passive or active.
