Functional assessment of patients with vertigo and dizziness in occupational medicine
Background Balance assessment relies on symptoms, clinical examination and functional assessment and their verification in objective tests. Our study was aimed at calculating the assessment compatibility between questionnaires, functional scales and ...

Early postnatal caloric restriction protects adult male intrauterine growth-restricted offspring from obesity. [PDF]
Postnatal ad libitum caloric intake superimposed on intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is associated with adult-onset obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Should I take a walk? Estimating Energy Expenditure from Video Data [PDF]
We explore the problem of automatically inferring the amount of kilocalories used by human during physical activity from his/her video observation. To study this underresearched task, we introduce Vid2Burn -- an omni-source benchmark for estimating caloric expenditure from video data featuring both, high- and low-intensity activities for which we ...

Behavioural changes are a major contributing factor in the reduction of sarcopenia in calorie-restricted ageing mice [PDF]
Background: In rodent models, caloric restriction (CR) with maintenance of adequate micronutrient supply has been reported to increase lifespan and to reduce age-induced muscle loss (sarcopenia) during ageing.

The effect of cochlear implant surgery on vestibular function in adults: A meta-analysis study
IssueThe findings in literature indicate inconsistency in the complications caused by the implant of electrodes in the cochlea; vestibular alterations and balance disorders are mentioned as the most likely.PurposeTo evaluate, in literature, through the ...

Multifragmentation and the Phase Transition: A Systematic Study of the MF of 1A GeV Au, La, and Kr [PDF]
A systematic analysis of the multifragmentation (MF) in fully reconstructed events from 1A GeV Au, La and Kr collisions with C has been performed. This data is used to provide a definitive test of the variable volume version of the statistical multifragmentation model (SMM).

A microcanonical entropy correcting finite-size effects in small systems [PDF]
In a recent paper [Franzosi, Physica A {\bf 494}, 302 (2018)], we have suggested to use of the surface entropy, namely the logarithm of the area of a hypersurface of constant energy in the phase space, as an expression for the thermodynamic microcanonical entropy, in place of the standard definition usually known as Boltzmann entropy.

Evidence of a metabolic memory to early-life dietary restriction in male C57BL/6 mice [PDF]
<p>Background: Dietary restriction (DR) extends lifespan and induces beneficial metabolic effects in many animals. What is far less clear is whether animals retain a metabolic memory to previous DR exposure, that is, can early-life DR preserve ...

Caloric curve in fragmentation [PDF]
We study phase transitions of small two dimensional Lennard Jones drops via microcanonical molecular dynamics in a broad energy range. We found that the caloric curve can be extended to high energies to comprehend high evaporation rates and highly non-equilibrium phenomena such as multifragmentation. Multifragmentation appears as a constant temperature
