Cluster Analysis of Center-of-Pressure Measures [PDF]

International Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering, 2012
− Postural stability analysis is useful in a variety of applications, such as assessing the risk of falls for older adults or investigating neuromuscular disorders. Variations in the center-of-pressure (COP) are often used to assess postural stability. The COP is a point where the vertical reaction forces of the ground act.

Effectiveness of Resistance Intradialytic Exercise Compared to Aerobic Intradialytic Exercise for Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis commonly experience reduced physical function, fatigue, poor sleep quality, and impaired health‐related quality of life. Intradialytic exercise has been proposed as a non‐pharmacological strategy to improve these outcomes.

Serum Myonectin Levels Are Positively Associated With Physical Function and Lower Frailty‐Related Limitation in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients frequently suffer from frailty, characterized by reduced physical function and poor prognosis. Myokines, such as myonectin, secreted by muscle, are emerging regulators of systemic health. This study investigated the relationship between serum myonectin, adipokines (adiponectin, omentin), and ...

Redox reactions in subducted CaCO3–Fe–SiO2 as a potential source of superdeep diamond inclusions

Scientific Reports
CaCO3 is one of the most abundant carbonates at the Earth’s surface. It is transported into the mantle in substantial quantities via subducted slabs and participates in the deep mantle carbon cycle along with other mantle materials.

Temperature-induced amorphization in CaCO3 at high pressure and implications for recycled CaCO3 in subduction zones

Nature Communications, 2019
Subduction of oceanic crust introduces huge amounts of carbonates into Earth’s mantle, contributing to the global carbon cycle. Here, based on high-pressure-temperature experiments, the authors present a reversible temperature-induced transition from ...
