Due to differences in actuation and design, active passive industrial back exoskeletons could influence functional performance, i.e., work perceived task difficulty, discomfort, differently. Therefore, this study investigated compared the impact of CrayX (7 kg) Paexo Back (4.5 on performance. Eighteen participants performed twelve work-related tasks with both types without (NoExo). The hindered performance up 22% multiple tasks, NoExo, while between NoExo condition was more comparable,...
Abstract Background In this study, stent appearance in a novel silicon-based photon-counting computed tomography (Si-PCCT) prototype was compared with conventional energy-integrating detector CT (EIDCT) system. Methods An ex vivo phantom created, consisting of 2% agar-water mixture, which human-resected and stented arteries were individually embedded. Using similar technique parameters, helical scan data acquired using Si-PCCT EIDCT system at volumetric dose index (CTDI vol ) 9 mGy....
Although body composition (BC) data acquisition and ad hoc analysis are both popular important, selecting an appropriate method or technique for accurate and/or precise assessment of individuals groups remains a challenging task within various sectors public health. Since 1950s 1960s, with the pioneer work Keys Brozek ((1)), Forbes et al. ((2)), Siri ((3)), ((4)), Behnke ((5)), Durnin Rahaman ((6)), BC almost became scientific discipline profiling itself development many methods, techniques,...
In Brief Study Design. The present study verifies the 3-dimensional anatomic features of lateral atlantoaxial joints with reference to a local frame using direct in vitro approach. Objective. To concordance between axial and atlantal articular surfaces. Summary Background Data. Detailed information joint-configurations is imperative for understanding complex kinematics upper cervical joint. Data on quantitative morphology human spinal facet has been published, but did not include...
The determination of lipid biomarkers by capillary sampling may be useful in the screening, diagnosis and/or personal management hyperlipidemia and cardiovascular risk. It remains unclear whether use Accutrend Plus system is appropriate. This study aimed to assess its reproducibility, accuracy concordance for blood profiling adults.Fasting total cholesterol (TC) triglyceride (TG) concentration on were compared with their venous analogues obtained a laboratory reference method sixty-one...
Background. Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) conception presents the early embryo with a radically different environment, which may lead to permanent alterations key cardiometabolic processes. Blood pressure, indicators of insulin resistance, and lipid profiles have previously been studied in offspring born after vitro fertilisation (IVF) ICSI, conflicting findings. Also, results young adults ICSI are lacking. Aim. We investigated if adult men women conceived by more frequently...
To explore the relationship of BMI and WC with muscle/adipose tissue mass ratios trunk adipose distribution, based on an anatomical 5-compartment model, by dissection cadavers elderly persons. Cross-sectional explorative study. Brussels Cadaver Analysis Study. Cadavers twenty-nine white Caucasian persons (17 females 12 males, aged 78,1±6,9 years). Whole body composition were determined at tissue-system level direct dissection. significantly positively related to absolute masses in both...
The aim of the present study was to develop and cross-validate anthropometrical prediction equations for segmental lean tissue mass (SLM). One hundred seventeen young healthy Caucasians (67 men 50 women; mean age: 31.9 ± 10.0 years; Body Mass Index: 24.3 3.2 kg · m(-2)) were included. (BM), stretch stature (SS), 14 circumferences (CC), 13 skinfolds (SF) 4 bone breadths (BB) used as anthropometric measurements. Segmental both arms, trunk legs measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry...
Summary Background Bariatric surgery before pregnancy can result in improved maternal fertility. However, long‐term data on the consequences at childhood age are currently lacking. Methods EFFECTOR is a prospective cohort study of children (aged 4 to 11 years) born mothers who underwent bariatric (BS) (n = 36), controls with overweight/obesity (OW/OB) matched pre‐pregnancy BMI 36) and normal weight (NL) 35). We performed collection anthropometric data, psychomotor development, school...
The purpose of this study was to lymphoscintigraphically assess the effect skin mobilization, nonspecific massage, and manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) on root lower limb in patients with lymphedema. Lower lymphoscintigraphical exams 80 lymphedema were analyzed. All underwent our stand 3 phase protocol then subjected 4th which included subphases. Images taken directly after injection (subphase 1), pinching stretching site 2), massage applied injected 3) 4). number opened pathways analyzed...
