Individuals with persisting post‐concussion symptoms with physiological subtype demonstrate altered cardiovascular and autonomic responses to face cooling

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Individuals with persisting post‐concussion symptoms with physiological subtype (PPCS‐P) demonstrate exercise intolerance due to exacerbation of concussion‐like symptoms during incremental exercise. We tested the hypothesis that individuals with PPCS‐P (n = 12) would have a blunted cardiac autonomic response to face cooling compared to healthy

When rehabilitation is not enough, how targeting metabolism can overcome the limited plasticity of skeletal muscle after traumatic injury

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract There is a category of large‐scale neuromusculoskeletal injuries that result in long‐term functional disabilities, and one such injury is volumetric muscle loss (VML) injury. In addition to the clinical outcomes related to long‐term dysfunction, co‐morbidities and reduced mobility and physical activity, this review addresses several ...
