Underpinning the Food Matrix Regulation of Postexercise Myofibrillar Protein Synthesis by Comparing Salmon Ingestion With the Sum of Its Isolated Nutrients in Healthy Young Adults.

May 2023
Background: Protein is most commonly consumed as whole foods as opposed to single nutrients. However, the food matrix regulation of the postprandial muscle protein synthetic response has received little attention.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of eating salmon (SAL) and of ingesting the same nutrients as an isolated mixture of crystalline amino acids and fish oil (ISO) on the stimulation of postexercise myofibrillar protein synthesis (MPS) and whole-body leucine oxidation rates in healthy young adults.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on creating an automated fall detection algorithm specifically for wheelchair users, addressing the lack of such devices.
- Researchers used machine learning techniques and data from accelerometers on participants to distinguish between actual falls and wheelchair-related movements.
- The algorithm showed high accuracy rates (100% for wrist data) and is recommended for integration into a wrist-worn device for real-world testing among wheelchair users.
Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of exercise interventions to improve gait and balance in individuals with lower limb amputations.
Methods: A systematic search was conducted on the PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, SPORTDiscuss, and CINAHL databases until January 2022. Only randomized control trials that evaluated adults (>18 years old) with lower limb amputations and compared any exercise intervention with a traditional prosthetic training were included in the study.
Background: Falls are a concern for older adults who use wheelchairs and scooters. Many wheelchair and scooter users require assistance to recover from a fall and often lie on the ground waiting for assistance for 10 min or more. An automated fall detection device may facilitate communication with care partners and expedite recovery; however, there is limited research on the specifications and features of an automated fall detection device preferred by older adults who use wheelchair and scooter.

Data Sources: PubMed, Physiotherapy Evidence Database, Scopus, Web of Science, PsycINFO, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health, and SportDiscuss were searched from inception until December 2019.
Study Selection: Clinical trials with either the primary or secondary aim to reduce FOF among adults with neurologic diseases were selected.
