Sensor-based characterization of daily walking: a new paradigm in pre-frailty...
Abstract Background Frailty is a highly recognized geriatric syndrome resulting in decline in reserve across multiple physiological systems. Impaired physical function is one of... -
Quantitative evaluation of corneal epithelial edema after cataract surgery us...
Abstract Purpose The optical density of the cornea can be evaluated quantitatively by “densitometry” using a rotating Scheimpflug camera. Densitometry allows evaluation of... -
Modified bolster dressing with continuous suction improves skin graft surviva...
Abstract Background Skin engraftment of intraoral defects is known to be inconsistent due to mobility of the oral structure, uneven wounds, and accumulation of saliva under the... -
Aberrant activation of NF-κB signaling in mammary epithelium leads to abnorma...
Abstract Background Approximately 1 in 5 women diagnosed with breast cancer are considered to have in situ disease, most often termed ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). Though... -
Multiphoton in vivo imaging with a femtosecond semiconductor disk laser
We use an ultrafast diode-pumped semiconductor disk laser (SDL) to demonstrate several applications in multiphoton microscopy. The ultrafast SDL is based on an optically pumped... -
Carotid arterial wall inflammation in peripheral artery disease is augmented ...
Abstract Background Patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) are at increased risk of secondary events, which is exaggerated in the presence of type 2 diabetes mellitus.... -
Evaluation of two collagen conduits and autograft in rabbit sciatic nerve reg...
Abstract Background We compared different surgical techniques for nerve regeneration in a rabbit sciatic nerve gap model using magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging (DTI),... -
Can Lokomat therapy with children and adolescents be improved? An adaptive cl...
Abstract Background Robot-assisted gait therapy is increasingly being used in pediatric neurorehabilitation to complement conventional physical therapy. The robotic device... -
Optical coherence tomography angiography characteristics of acute retinal art...
Abstract Background To characterize the vascular changes in eyes within the acute phase of retinal arterial occlusion (RAO) by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A)... -
Dynamic light sheet generation and fluorescence imaging behind turbid media
Abstract Background Light sheet microscopy became a popular tool allowing fast imaging with reduced out of focus light. However, when light penetrates turbid media such as... -
Comparison of peri-implant soft tissue and crestal bone status of dental impl...
Abstract Background Clinicoradiographic status of narrow-diameter implants (NDIs) among patients with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is scarce. The aim was to... -
The interactive effects of input and output on managing fluid balance in pati...
Abstract Background The interactive effect of cumulative input and output on achieving optimal fluid balance has not been well elucidated in patients with acute kidney injury... -
The effect of early surgery after hip fracture on 1-year mortality
Abstract Background Hip fracture injuries are identified as one of the most serious healthcare problems affecting older people. Many studies have explored the associations among... -
Optical biopsy of fixed human skin with backward-collected optical harmonics ...
Harmonics-based optical microscopy has been widely applied in biomedical researches due to its noninvasiveness to the studied biomaterials. Due to momentum conservation... -
Epidural adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cell activation induced by l...
Abstract Background Spinal metastasis is a major challenge in patients with advanced lung cancer, but the mechanisms in the organotropism of metastasis are still unclear.... -
Abdominal skin tensile strength in aesthetic and massive weight loss patients...
Abstract Background Clarifying the biomechanics of abdominal skin could lead to different uses for this tissue such as the ventral repair of hernias in patients with excess skin... -
The prevalence of the culturable human skin aerobic bacteria in Riyadh, Saudi...
Abstract Background Human skin is an appropriate environment for the growth of different types of microbes that may inhabit the skin as commensal flora. This study aims at... -
Transcriptome analysis reveals regional and temporal differences in mucosal i...
Abstract Background Postnatal development of the mammalian mucosal immune system is crucial for responding to the rapid colonization by commensal bacteria and possible exposure... -
Adaption of a dermal in vitro method to investigate the uptake of chemicals a...
Abstract Background Literature data indicate that terrestrial life stages of amphibians may be more sensitive to xenobiotics than birds or mammals. It is hypothesized that... -
Scalp acupuncture and electromagnetic convergence stimulation for patients wi...
Abstract Background Scalp acupuncture (SA) and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) are effective for treating cerebral infarction. This study aims to examine the...
