Constraint Therapy with and Without Virtual Reality for Children with Unilateral Cerebral Palsy: A Randomized Trial

Children
Background/Objectives: Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common childhood motor disorder, with unilateral cerebral palsy (UCP) presenting with asymmetrical motor function that can cause decreased upper limb function.

Strategies for inducing diabetes in laboratory animals: Advances from chemical, surgical, immunologic, dietary, and genetic approaches

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the principal experimental approaches used to induce diabetes in animal models. Strategies include chemical agents (streptozotocin, alloxan, dithizone, gold thioglucose), dietary interventions (high‐fat and high‐sugar diets), surgical methods (total or partial pancreatectomy), genetic models (db/db, ob/ob, Goto‐Kakizaki [GK ...

Combining constraint-induced movement therapy and action-observation training in children with unilateral cerebral palsy: a randomized controlled trial

BMC Pediatrics, 2018
Background Upper limb (UL) deficits in children with unilateral cerebral palsy (uCP) have traditionally been targeted with motor execution treatment models, such as modified Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (mCIMT).

Neurophysiological Recovery Following Nerve Transfer Surgery to Restore Upper Limb Function after Cervical Spinal Cord Injury

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objectives Nerve transfer is a promising intervention for restoring hand and upper limb function after cervical spinal cord injury (SCI), but the timeline of neurophysiological recovery in humans remains unclear. This study aimed to define recovery profiles after nerve transfers to restore upper limb function.

Functional anatomy, jaw mechanisms, and feeding behavior of Dunkleosteus terrelli (Placodermi, Arthrodira)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
A new musculoskeletal reconstruction and revision of the cranio‐mandibular anatomy of the Devonian arthrodire placoderm Dunkleosteus terrelli from a comparative and functional anatomical perspective. Dunkleosteus is a specialized arthrodire with many specializations for feeding on large vertebrates, and many of its features are part of broader ...

Descriptive, comparative, and functional anatomy of the facial musculature in cattle (Bos taurus)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Facial expressions can provide insight into animal emotions and pain, but no standardized system for assessing the entire facial display in cattle (Bos taurus Linnaeus) exists. The Facial Action Coding System (FACS), originally developed for humans, identifies distinct facial movements based on mimetic muscles.

Gait adaptations in step length and push-off force during walking with functional asymmetry

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
Human walking is highly adaptable, allowing individuals to maintain efficiency and stability across diverse conditions. However, how gait adapts to functional asymmetry remains poorly understood.

Identification of major congenital malformations based on healthcare databases in France: A proof‐of‐concept study using the epi‐meres nationwide mother–child register

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim Besides registries, healthcare databases can provide useful information for assessing the frequency of major congenital malformations (MCMs) and investigating their risk factors, particularly medication exposures. This study aimed to assess the validity of MCMs identification based on French national, comprehensive healthcare databases ...

Standard Inelastic Shocks and the Dynamics of Unilateral Constraints [PDF]

, 1985
This paper is devoted to mechanical systems with a finite number of degrees of freedom let $q^1, \ldots, q^n$ denote (possibly local) coordinates inthe configuration manifold $Q$. In addition to the constraints, bilateral and frictionless, which have permitted such a finite-dimensional parametrization of $Q$ , we assume the system submitted to a finite

Reciprocity on the Edge of Distance Paradox: How Sustainability Motives and Hypocrisy Shape Consumer Responses to Nearshoring

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite growing interest in corporate relocation decisions and sustainability, the existing literature is limited in its consumer‐centric approach. Integrating social exchange theory and construal level theory, this research investigates how consumers perceive sustainability‐driven nearshoring motives (i.e., socio‐economic vs.
