Bringing the Genomic Revolution to Comparative Oncology: Human and Dog Cancers.

Dogs are humanity's oldest friend, the first species we domesticated 20,000-40,000 years ago. In this unequaled collaboration, dogs have inadvertently but serendipitously been molded into a potent human cancer model. Unlike many common model species, dogs are raised in the same environment as humans and present with spontaneous tumors with human-like comorbidities, immunocompetency, and heterogeneity.

The Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test (CKCUEST) Performance in Elite Team Handball Players Playing with Shoulder Pain, Previous Pain, or No Pain.

Background: Physical therapists use tests that could determine strength and weaknesses of the shoulder for overhead throwing athletes to enhance performance, prevent injury, and safely progress rehabilitation. The Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test (CKCUEST) has been proposed to assess muscular capacity and dynamic shoulder stability in overhead athletes, which could provide information to determine a risk of injury.

Purpose: To investigate if the CKCUEST is an appropriate test to implement within team elite handball players to evaluate dynamic shoulder stability across sexes and in the screening of shoulder pain.

Reactivity of Single-Atom Alloy Nanoparticles: Modeling the Dehydrogenation of Propane.

Physical catalysts often have multiple sites where reactions can take place. One prominent example is single-atom alloys, where the reactive dopant atoms can preferentially locate in the bulk or at different sites on the surface of the nanoparticle. However, ab initio modeling of catalysts usually only considers one site of the catalyst, neglecting the effects of multiple sites.

Electro-suit treatment of children with unilateral cerebral palsy alters nonlinear dynamics of walking.

Background: Cerebral palsy (CP) is characterized by spasticity and muscle contracture development and associated with mild to severe motor impairments including reduced gait function. Treatment with the Exopulse® suit has been shown to reduce spasticity of the affected muscles and constitutes a non-invasive alternative to pharmaceutical agents and surgical denervation. The present study investigated the effect of systematic treatment with the Exopulse® suit on the nonlinear dynamics and variability of trunk accelerations during walking in children with unilateral CP.

Comparison of Shoulder Kinematics and Muscle Activation of Female Elite Handball Players With and Without Pain-An Explorative Cross-Sectional Study.

Non-traumatic shoulder injuries are common in team handball. However, many athletes continue to throw, despite pain in the shoulder. This study investigated upper body kinematics and muscle activation while throwing in female elite handball players with and without shoulder pain.

The Danish version of the modified Constant-Murley shoulder score: reliability, agreement, and construct validity.

Study Design: Test-retest study. Objectives To assess the reliability, agreement, and validity of the Danish version of the modified Constant-Murley score (CMS).

Background: Modified CMS guidelines were published in 2008.
