Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract The well‐being of medical physicists can impact overall system performance, patient safety, and quality of patient care. There are limited formal assessments of factors contributing to physicists well‐being. Nine medical physicists at a US academic medical center were surveyed on 21 workplace factors, drawn from the National Academy of ...

Advanced Chinese Medicine, Volume 2, Issue 1, Page 1-12, March 2025.Abstract The NLR family pyrin domain‐containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is a vital part of the innate immune response, whilst its aberrant activation drives the progression of several noncommunicable diseases. It induces caspase‐1 activation and the downstream substrates involved with the processing and secretion of the pro‐inflammatory cytokines IL‐1β ...

Mitochondrial DNA disorders in neuromuscular diseases in diverse populations
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.Abstract Neuromuscular features are common in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) disorders. The genetic architecture of mtDNA disorders in diverse populations is poorly understood. We analysed mtDNA variants from whole‐exome sequencing data in neuromuscular patients from South Africa, Brazil, India, Turkey and Zambia. In 998 individuals, there were two definite

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView., 2023 This study aims to explore the feasibility of using a structure inspired by the features of horsetail and human spine as the potential helmet liner, targeting at mitigation of acceleration‐induced injuries. A parametric study is conducted to investigate the effect of individual geometrical variables in the design, indicating its capability to reduce ...

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 12, Issue 3, Page 478-490, March 2025.Abstract Objective An alteration in the composition of the intestinal microbiota has been observed in patients with multiple sclerosis (pwMS) with respect to healthy controls (HC). Microorganism‐derived metabolites such as short‐chain fatty acids (SCFA) have been suggested to play a role in the disease.

Ferroptosis and Brain Injury [PDF]
Developmental Neuroscience, 2018 Ferroptosis is a nonapoptotic form of cell death characterized by the iron-dependent accumulation of toxic lipid reactive oxygen species. Small-molecule screening and subsequent optimization have yielded potent and specific activators and inhibitors of this process.

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 12, Issue 3, Page 659-665, March 2025.Abstract Objective Motor recovery is challenging for spinal cord injury (SCI), especially in low‐level SCI. Methods A 16‐year‐old patient with complete SCI at T12 presented flaccid paralysis and inability to control defecation and was scored as ASIA A at admission. The patient underwent spinal cord stimulation (SCS) implantation at the T11‐L1, followed

New Universal Theory of Injury Prediction and Prevention [PDF]
arXiv, 2009 The prediction and prevention of traumatic brain injury, spinal injury and general musculo-skeletal injury is a very important aspect of preventive medical science. Recently, in a series of papers, I have proposed a new coupled loading-rate hypothesis as a unique cause of all above injuries.

A method to predict location of non-coup brain injuries [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Brain injuries are a major reason for mortality and morbidity following trauma in sports, work and traffic. Apart from the trauma at the site of impact (coup injury), other regions of the brain remote from the impact locations (non-coup) are commonly affected.
