Factors affecting occlusion pressure and ischemic preconditioning

open access: yes, 2018
Purpose: To determine the effect of limb selection (upper/lower), cuff width (small (6 cm)/medium (13 cm) upper; medium/large (18 cm) lower) and anthropometry on arterial occlusion pressure (AOP) in ischemic preconditioning (IPC).

The Effect of Central Sensitization on Long‐Term Prognosis and Comorbidity Levels in Temporomandibular Disorders: A Prospective Longitudinal Study

open access: yesJournal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Higher central sensitization‐related symptoms levels based on the Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI) predict greater psychological distress, sleep disturbance, autonomic dysfunction and reduced response to long‐term conservative treatment in temporomandibular disorders.

Periodontal Medicine Rewired: Mechanisms Linking Periodontitis to Systemic Diseases

open access: yesJournal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This review reorganizes decades of research in periodontal medicine into a multi‐dimensional framework, illustrating how periodontitis influences systemic health through at least seven interconnected mechanisms. ABSTRACT Periodontitis is now recognized not merely as a localized oral condition but as a systemic disease linked to over 70 communicable and

Comparison between Fixed Tourniquet Inflation Pressure and Limb Occlusion Pressure in Children Undergoing Corrective Osteotomy for Blount’s Disease

open access: yes
Background: A tourniquet is commonly used to achieve a clear operative field during corrective osteotomies for Blount’s disease in children. Excessive tourniquet pressures may, however, lead to complications that may threaten the child’s limb, causing ...

Dissociation of phantom limb phenomena from stump tactile spatial acuity and sensory thresholds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Most amputees experience phantom limb sensations and/or phantom limb pain as well as residual limb (stump) pain that are resistant to treatment. Phantom phenomena are not homogeneous; each patient presents with a unique combination of spontaneous or ...

Generalization of Motor Learning in Psychological Space

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The capacity to generate adaptive movements largely depends on how we generalize what we have previously learned to novel situations. The generalization of adapted movements has typically been framed as a consequence of neural tuning functions that overlap for similar movement kinematics—what might be considered bottom‐up generalization ...

Optimizing cerebrovascular endothelial health through shear stress modulation

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The endothelium plays a pivotal role in regulating cerebrovascular blood flow, and its dysfunction increases the risk of cerebrovascular disease. Endothelial shear stress, a primary mechanical stimulus for endothelial nitric oxide production, is a key modulator of vascular adaptation.
