Proprioceptive assessment battery for patients with below-knee amputation (BEPAT in Spanish)
Revista de la Facultad de Medicina, 2016 Introduction: Amputation generates various biomechanical and structural changes, creating deficiencies in balance, equilibrium and proprioception. Altered proprioception affects the bodily-space component, as well as postural control and other physical ...

Phages in the Human Body [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 Bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, have re-emerged as powerful regulators of bacterial populations in natural ecosystems. Phages invade the human body, just as they do other natural environments, to such an extent that they are the most numerous group in the human virome. This was only revealed in recent metagenomic studies, despite the fact

Protection of the brain against heat damage
Journal of Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine, 2014 In homeothermic animals, metabolic heat production in the brain is higher than in other tissues. However, cerebral tissue is susceptible to heat. Several animals have mechanisms that selectively cool the brain during hyperthermia (i.e., selective brain ...

Estrogenic modulation of female thermoregulatory behavior in a cold environment
Journal of Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine, 2016 Thermoregulation is categorized as either autonomic (i.e., sweating, shivering) or behavioral (i.e., wearing clothes, usage of air conditioner) thermoregulation. Compared to autonomic thermoregulation, the neural pathway of behavioral thermoregulation in
