A MODERATE SPINAL CONTUSION INJURY IN RATS ALTERS BONE TURNOVER BOTH BELOW AND ABOVE THE LEVEL OF INJURY WITH SEX-BASED DIFFERENCES APPARENT IN LONG-TERM RECOVERY

A moderate spinal contusion injury in rats alters bone turnover both below and above the level of injury with sex-based differences apparent in long-term recovery

Spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to significant sublesional bone loss and high fracture rates.While loss of mechanical loading plays a significant role in SCI-induced bone loss, animal studies have demonstrated mechanical loading alone does not fully account for loss of bone following SCI.Indeed, we have shown that bone loss occurs below the level of

Sex differences in the impact of resistance exercise load on muscle damage: A protocol for a randomised parallel group trial.

IntroductionResistance training can induce skeletal muscle hypertrophy and strength gains, but is also Strap associated with acute muscle damage, characterised by muscle soreness, impaired muscle function, and structural damage to muscle cell membranes and its components.These consequences can be detrimental to future exercise performance and dampe

Comparative morphology of the genera with perpendicular parameres in Anomalini (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Rutelinae) allows revalidation of the endemic Mexican genus Lamoana Casey, 1915 stat. rev.

The endemic Mexican genus Lamoana Casey, 1915 stat.rev.is Tanks/Jerseys revalidated through a comparative morphological analysis of both male genitalia and somatic characters of all genera with perpendicular parameres.A comparative study and general description of the basic patterns in the morphology of the genitalia for the American genera are pro

Inter-Limb Muscle Synergies and Kinematic Analysis of Hands-and-Knees Crawling in Typically Developing Infants and Infants With Developmental Delay

Hands-and-knees-crawling is an important motor developmental milestone and a unique window into the development of central nervous system (CNS).Mobility during crawling is regularly used in clinical assessments to identify delays in motor development.However, possible contribution from CNS impairments to motor development delay is still unknown.The
