Differences in Abdominal Muscle Activation Patterns of Younger and Older Adults Performing an Asymmetric Leg-Loading Task
(Elsevier, 2009-11)
Objectives: To determine whether differences exist between younger (20-50 years) and
older adults ( 65 years) in abdominal muscle amplitudes, temporal patterns, and threedimensional
(3D) pelvic motion, while performing ...
Activation amplitude patterns do not change for back muscles but are altered for abdominal muscles between dominant and non-dominant hands during one-handed lifts
(SpringerLink, 2009-05)
It is assumed when lifting with the dominant hand that the relationship between contralateral and ipsilateral trunk muscle responses are similar to when lifting with the non-dominant hand. The purpose of this study was to ...
The interpretation of abdominal wall muscle recruitment strategies change when the electrocardiogram (ECG) is removed from the electromyogram (EMG)
(Elsevier, 2009-04)
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the ECG artifact on low-level trunk muscle activation amplitudes and assess the effectiveness of two methods used to remove the ECG. Simulations were performed and ...
Electromyographic assessment of trunk muscle activation amplitudes during a simulated lifting task using pattern recognition techniques
(Elsevier, 2009-12)
This study sought to determine the patterns of neuromuscular response from 24-trunk muscle sites during a symmetrical lift and replace task. Surface electromyograms (EMG) and kinematic variables were recorded from 29 healthy ...
Antimicrobial Activities of Jadomycin B and Structurally Related Analogues
(2009-03)
Natural products are leads for new antibiotics as a result of their structural complexity and
diversity. We have isolated a series of structurally related polyketide-derived natural products
from Streptomyces venezuelae ...
Co-activation differences in lower limb muscles between asymptomatic controls and those with varying degrees of knee osteoarthritis during walking
(2009-06)
Abstract: Background: Increased muscle co-activation during gait has been identified as a neuromuscular alteration associated with knee osteoarthritis, however levels of co-activation among different osteoarthritis severity ...
Explaining the hip adduction moment variability during gait: Implications for hip abductor strengthening
(Elsevier, 2009)
Background
There is emerging interest in hip abductor function during gait and its potential relationship to knee joint pathology. During gait, the hip abductor muscles are primarily responsible for generating moments of ...
A Method for Structure-Activity Analysis of Quorum-Sensing Signaling Peptides from Naturally Transformable Streptococci
(2009-12)
Many species of streptococci secrete and use a competence-stimulating peptide (CSP) to initiate
quorum sensing for induction of genetic competence, bacteriocin production, and other activities.
These signaling molecules ...
Expression, distribution and regulation of sex steroid hormone receptors in mouse heart
(S. Karger AG, Basel, 2009)
The effects of sex hormones on the heart are dependent on the presence and distribution of sex steroid hormone receptors (SSHR) in cardiac tissue. This study used subcellular fractionation, Western blot analysis and ...
Evaluating the quality of randomized controlled trials that examine the efficacy of natural health products: a systematic review of critical appraisal instruments
(2009-12)
The purpose of this project was to conduct a systematic review to identify instruments designed to evaluate the quality of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of natural health products (NHPs). Instruments were examined ...
