Disclosing the production of fungal chitinases and proteases using insect by‐products as substrates in solid‐state fermentation

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND The world population is projected to reach nearly 9.7 billion by 2050, significantly increasing the demand for novel and sustainable protein sources. Edible insects, such as Tenebrio molitor, emerge as promising alternatives due to their high nutritional value, but adult insects and frass are direct and abundant by‐products of this ...

Methodological constraints for the stable isotope analysis of different tissues: A comparison between muscle and whole‐body samples in freshwater gammarids

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) stable isotope ratios allow the reconstruction of food webs, provided that all trophic levels are properly characterized. In freshwater ecosystems, small‐bodied invertebrates often occupy central positions in food webs, with whole‐body samples commonly used for their stable isotope analysis, due to ...

Enabling Functional Independence: A Scoping Review of Upper Extremity Assistive Devices for Adults With Progressive Neuromuscular Diseases

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
This scoping review summarizes the spectrum of upper extremity assistive devices for adults with progressive neuromuscular diseases, ranging from low‐tech supports to advanced robotics, exoskeletons, and brain‐computer interface systems. While these technologies show promise for improving enabling function, current evidence is largely limited to ...

Utility of Pelvic Floor Therapy and Behavioral Interventions in the Neurogenic Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction (NLUTD) Population

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims Neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) describes a wide range of symptoms depending on neurologic diagnosis and the resulting bladder and sphincter dysfunction. This narrative review is designed to address the question regarding which NLUTD population benefits most from pelvic floor therapy and behavioral interventions, and ...

An outdoor dual-task study on cognitive-motor interference during exoskeleton-assisted walking

Frontiers in Psychology
IntroductionControlling a powered lower-limb exoskeleton may increase the demand for cognitive resources due to mechanical constraints and assisting torques that disrupt natural movement.MethodThis study employed a dual-task paradigm to investigate ...

Human–exoskeleton interaction portrait

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation
AbstractHuman–robot physical interaction contains crucial information for optimizing user experience, enhancing robot performance, and objectively assessing user adaptation. This study introduces a new method to evaluate human–robot interaction and co-adaptation in lower limb exoskeletons by analyzing muscle activity and interaction torque as a two ...

Effect of a virtual walking and therapeutic exercise‐based intervention on gait and balance in people with incomplete spinal cord injury

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background People with spinal cord injury (SCI) experience sensory and motor impairments that often require exercise‐based treatments. However, these interventions are challenging due to limited active mobility. Novel rehabilitation approaches, such as those targeting the mirror neuron system, could offer additional benefits.

Controlled incubation, leachate, and pot assays of shrimp shell‐based compost for suppressing Verticillium dahliae in olive

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Shrimp shell compost suppresses Verticillium dahliae microsclerotia, enhances chitinase activity, lowers olive wilt severity and improves plant recovery under controlled conditions. Abstract BACKGROUND Verticillium wilt of olive (Olea europaea L.), caused by Verticillium dahliae Kleb., is difficult to manage because long‐lived microsclerotia persist in
