Accuracy of self-reported intake of signature foods in a school meal intervention study: comparison between control and intervention period
(Cambridge University Press, 2015-08-28)Bias in self-reported dietary intake is important when evaluating the effect of dietary interventions, particularly for intervention foods. However, few have investigated this in children, and none have investigated the ... -
Acute effects of aerobic exercise on cognitive function in individuals with Parkinson’s disease
(Elsevier, 2018-04-03)Deficits in executive functions are highly prevalent in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Although chronic physical exercise has been shown to improve executive functions in PD, evidence of acute exercise effects is limited. This ... -
Agpat4/Lpaat delta deficiency highlights the molecular heterogeneity of epididymal and perirenal white adipose depots
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2017-10-01)Acylglycerophosphate acyltransferase 4 (AGPAT4)/lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase delta catalyzes the formation of phosphatidic acid (PA), a precursor of triacylglycerol (TAG). We investigated the effect of Agpat4 gene ... -
Arm posture influences on regional supraspinatus and infraspinatus activation in isometric arm elevation efforts
(Elsevier, 2019-02)This study aimed to evaluate the effect of arm posture on activation of the anterior and posterior regions of supraspinatus and the superior and middle regions of infraspinatus during resisted isometric arm elevations. ... -
Automated Histological Analysis System for Quantifying Microstructural Damage Accumulation to the Annulus Fibrosus
(Kitchener-Waterloo Vision and Imaging Society, 2016)In this paper, we proposed an automated histological analysis system for quantifying microstructural damage accumulation to the annulus fibrosus. This system takes in a digital histology image and uses Gaussian mixture ... -
Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis Overestimates Fat-Free Mass in Breast Cancer Patients Undergoing Treatment
(Wiley, 2020-12)Background: Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is commonly used to assess fat-free mass (FFM) and fat mass (FM) in breast cancer patients. However, because of the prevalence of overweight, obesity and variable hydration ... -
Build better bones with exercise (B3E pilot trial): results of a feasibility study of a multicenter randomized controlled trial of 12 months of home exercise in older women with vertebral fracture
(Springer, 2018-08-08)Summary We pilot-tested a trial of home exercise on individuals with osteoporosis and spine fracture. Our target enrollment was met, though it took longer than expected. Participants stayed in the study and completed ... -
Butylated hydroxytoluene can protect polyunsaturated fatty acids in dried blood spots from degradation for up to 8 weeks at room temperature
(BioMed Central, 2013-02-20)Background: Dried blood spots (DBS) from fingertip prick blood can enable high throughput fatty acid profiling but may be prone to lipid peroxidation during storage. The use of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) on chromatography ... -
Changes in whole-blood PUFA and their predictors during recovery from severe acute malnutrition
(Cambridge University Press, 2016-05-28)Children with severe acute malnutrition (SAM) with complications require in-patient management including therapeutic feeding. Little attention has been given to the effects of these feeds on the essential fatty acid status ... -
Comparing functional dynamic normalization methods to maximal voluntary isometric contractions for lower limb EMG from walking, cycling and running
(Elsevier, 2019-02)There is no consensus on the most appropriate method for normalizing an individual’s electromyography (EMG) signals from walking, cycling and running in the same data collection. The aim of this study was to compare how ... -
Comparison of model-predicted and measured moment arms for the rotator cuff muscles
(Elsevier, 2007-07)Background The ability of mathematical models of the shoulder to accurately replicate physiological muscle moment arms is unknown. The purpose of this study was to compare model-predicted and experimentally measured moment ... -
Correlates of whole-blood polyunsaturated fatty acids among young children with moderate acute malnutrition
(BioMed Central, 2017-07-13)Background: Severe acute malnutrition (SAM) has been associated with low polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) status. However, investigations regarding PUFA status and correlates in children with moderate acute malnutrition ... -
Describing the resource utilisation and costs associated with vertebral fractures: the Build Better Bones with Exercise (B3E) Pilot Trial
(Springer, 2020-03-26)Summary This analysis examined costs/resources of 141 women with vertebral fractures, randomised to a home exercise programme or control group. Total, mean costs and the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) were ... -
Diet-induced changes in iron and n-3 fatty acid status and associations with cognitive performance in 8-11-year-old Danish children: secondary analyses of the Optimal Well-Being, Development and Health for Danish Children through a Healthy New Nordic Diet School Meal Study
(Cambridge University Press, 2015-11-28)Fe and n-3 long-chain PUFA (n-3 LCPUFA) have both been associated with cognition, but evidence remains inconclusive in well-nourished school-aged children. In the Optimal Well-Being, Development and Health for Danish ... -
Differential regional pectoralis major activation indicates functional diversity in healthy females
(Elsevier, 2022-01)Pectoralis major activation enables the performance of several upper extremity movements. Its regional activation, however, is not documented in healthy females. This work used high-density surface electromyography to ... -
A differential role for the posterior cerebellum in the adaptive control of convergence eye movements
(Elsevier, 2020-02)Introduction The vergence oculomotor system possesses two robust adaptive mechanisms; a fast “dynamic” and a slow “tonic” system that are both vital for single, clear and comfortable binocular vision. The neural substrates ... -
Digital tracking algorithm reveals the influence of structural irregularities on joint movements in the human cervical spine
(Elsevier, 2018-07-01)Background Disc height loss and osteophytes change the local mechanical environment in the spine; while previous research has examined kinematic dysfunction under degenerative change, none has looked at the influence of ... -
Effect of complementary food with small amounts of freshwater fish on whole blood n-3 fatty acids in Cambodian infants age 6-15 months
(Elsevier, 2018-08-01)The impact of freshwater fish consumption on the status of long-chain n-3 fatty acids (n-3 LCPUFA) in infants in landlocked, low-income populations is unknown. We used secondary data from a randomized, single-blinded, ... -
