Neck Kinematics in Patients With Chronic Mechanical Neck Pain: An Observational Study to Explore the Integration of Multiple Influencing Factors Through a Bayesian Model-Based Approach.

The aim of this observational, cross-sectional study is to evaluate potential differences in kinematics, specifically range of motion (ROM) and velocity, during planar cervical movements between patients with non-traumatic chronic neck pain and disability and asymptomatic controls, while accounting for potential influencing variables of age, sex and fear of movement. The influence of pain intensity, neck disability, age, sex or fear of motion on kinematics was analyzed through robust multivariate Bayesian regression models fitted using the brms library in R. Forty-three patients with neck pain (aged 36.

Deep Learning Enables Instant and Versatile Estimation of Rice Yield Using Ground-Based RGB Images.

Rice ( L.) is one of the most important cereals, which provides 20% of the world's food energy. However, its productivity is poorly assessed especially in the global South.

Analysis of sensorimotor control in people with and without neck pain using inertial sensor technology: study protocol for a 1-year longitudinal prospective observational study.

Introduction: Neck pain is a very common musculoskeletal disorder associated with high socioeconomic costs derived from work absenteeism and medical expenses. Previous studies have suggested that patients with neck pain of different origins present sensorimotor control impairments compared with the asymptomatic population. However, there is a small number of published studies focusing on these with conflicting results.

Involvement of the Cohesin Cofactor PDS5 (SPO76) During Meiosis and DNA Repair in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Maintenance and precise regulation of sister chromatid cohesion is essential for faithful chromosome segregation during mitosis and meiosis. Cohesin cofactors contribute to cohesin dynamics and interact with cohesin complexes during cell cycle. One of these, PDS5, also known as SPO76, is essential during mitosis and meiosis in several organisms and also plays a role in DNA repair.

Epigenetic changes accompany developmental programmed cell death in tapetum cells.

The tapetum, the nursing tissue inside anthers, undergoes cellular degradation by programmed cell death (PCD) during late stages of microspore-early pollen development. Despite the key function of tapetum, little is known about the molecular mechanisms regulating this cell death process in which profound nuclear and chromatin changes occur. Epigenetic features (DNA methylation and histone modifications) have been revealed as hallmarks that establish the functional status of chromatin domains, but no evidence on the epigenetic regulation of PCD has been reported.
