Assessment of varus thrust using inertial measurement units.

Background: Varus thrust is common in those with knee osteoarthritis. Varus thrust is traditionally identified with visual analysis or motion capture, methods that are either dichotomous or limited to the laboratory setting. Inertial measurement unit data has been found to correlate with motion capture measures of varus thrust in those with severe knee osteoarthritis, allowing for a quantitative and accessible way of measuring varus thrust.

Gait kinematics differ by bout duration and setting.

Background: Gait kinematics differ between settings and among young and older adults with and without knee osteoarthritis. Out-of-lab data has a variety of walking bout characteristics compared to controlled in-lab settings. The effect of walking bout duration on gait analysis results is unclear, and there is no standardized procedure for segmenting or selecting out-of-lab data for analysis.

Synergic Effect of and Coinfection: Anatomopathological and Microbiome Evaluation.

and coinfection has been observed in the diagnostic routine; however, no studies have evaluated their interaction. This study aimed to characterize lesions and possible synergisms in experimentally infected pigs. Four groups of piglets, coinfection (CO), (BRA), (LAW), and negative control (NEG), were used.

Fucoxanthin Prevents Pancreatic Tumorigenesis in C57BL/6J Mice That Received Allogenic and Orthotopic Transplants of Cancer Cells.

Fucoxanthin (Fx) is a marine carotenoid with anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties in various animal models of carcinogenesis. However, there is currently no information on the effects of Fx in animal models of pancreatic cancer. We investigated the chemopreventive effects of Fx in C57BL/6J mice that received allogenic and orthotopic transplantations of cancer cells (KMPC44) derived from a pancreatic cancer murine model (; -).

Comparison of Treadmill and Overground Walking in Children and Adolescents.

The primary purpose of this study was to compare biomechanical gait variables and perceived gait velocity between overground and treadmill walking conditions among typically developing children and adolescents. Twenty children and adolescents (age = 11.4,  = 2.
