Analysis of postural sway in patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus: effects of shunt implantation

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Medical Research, 2009
Poor postural balance is one of the major risk factors for falling in normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH). Postural instability in the clinic is commonly assessed based upon force platform posturography.

Body sway increases immediately after strabismus surgery. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The purposes of this study were to examine whether body sway is altered immediately after strabismus surgery in children and to find preoperative clinical factors associated with body sway.

Necessity of Proper Lashing of Containers on the Ship's Deck as Part of Optimization of the Sea Voyage

open access: yesPromet (Zagreb), 2004
These days we are witnessing an increase of container trafficin general and at sea in particular. In order to economizetheir business the ship owners are building bigger container vesselswhich can carry up to 8000 TEUs (Maersk line) and otherbig carriers

An Inexpensive 6D Motion Tracking System for Posturography

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2018
Computerized posturography is most often performed with a force plate measuring center-of-pressure (COP). COP is related to postural control actions but does not monitor the outcome of those actions, i.e., center-of-mass (COM) stability.

Optimizing successful balance recovery from unexpected trips and slips

open access: yesJournal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2018
Approximately one in three people over 65 years of age fall each year. The resulting physiological and psychological trauma can lead to physical deconditioning, social isolation and early mortality.

Arm-crank training improves postural stability and physical functioning in older people [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Background: Arm crank ergometry (ACE) has been shown to elicit marked improvements in lower body exercise capacity among older individuals. It is currently unknown whether ACE is effective in alleviating functional consequences of aging, such as balance ...

Transcriptional network analysis of PTEN‐protein‐deficient prostate tumors reveals robust stromal reprogramming and signs of senescent paracrine communication

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Combining PTEN protein assessment and transcriptomic profiling of prostate tumors, we uncovered a network enriched in senescence and extracellular matrix (ECM) programs associated with PTEN loss and conserved in a mouse model. We show that PTEN‐deficient cells trigger paracrine remodeling of the surrounding stroma and this information could help ...

EDNRB‐dependent endothelin signaling reduces proliferation and promotes proneural‐to‐mesenchymal transition in gliomas

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Glioma cells mainly express the endothelin receptor EDNRB, while EDNRA is restricted to a perivascular tumor subpopulation. Endothelin signaling reduces glioma cell proliferation while promoting migration and a proneural‐to‐mesenchymal transition associated with poor prognosis. This pathway activates Ca2+, K+, ERK, and STAT3 signalings and is regulated

Voluntarily controlled but not merely observed visual feedback affects postural sway [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2018
Online stabilization of human standing posture utilizes multisensory afferences (e.g., vision). Whereas visual feedback of spontaneous postural sway can stabilize postural control especially when observers concentrate on their body and intend to minimize
