We use the Toda soliton formalism to propose a possible complex movement of alpha helices with a very important role in energy transduction during the power stroke of motor proteins. We find that this approach has advantages in comparison with the Davydov soliton model and its variants. We estimated the model's parameters and calculated corresponding properties of the predicted solitary waves including propagation velocities and energies. The energies are found to be within the expected range.

Initial Contact with Forefoot or Rearfoot in Spastic Patients After Stroke-Three-Dimensional Gait Analysis.
Neurol Int
January 2025
Laboratório de Marcha, Centro de Medicina de Reabilitação de Alcoitão, 2649-506 Alcabideche, Portugal.
Background/objectives: Post-stroke hemiparetic gait often presents with asymmetric patterns to compensate for stability deficits. This study examines gait differences in chronic stroke patients with spastic hemiparesis based on initial foot contact type-forefoot versus rearfoot.
Methods: Thirty-four independently walking spastic hemiparetic patients were retrospectively analyzed.
Arm Propulsion in Front Crawl Stroke.

: This study aims to determine the propulsive force and effective arm area contributed by the propulsion through the dynamic balance (power balance) between drag and propulsive power in swimming crawl performance. : Ten male swimmers participated in the study. The athletes conducted the crawl trials at a constant velocity using only the upper limbs.

Background/objectives: Noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) can boost motor recovery after a stroke. Certain movement phases are more responsive to NIBS, so a system that auto-detects these phases would optimize stimulation timing. This study assessed the effectiveness of various machine learning models in identifying movement phases in hemiparetic individuals undergoing simultaneous NIBS and EEG recordings.

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD), a non-communicable condition, stands as the primary cause of death globally. This study seeks to evaluate the predictive power of atherogenic indices, which are recognized for their influence on CVD, alongside a newly developed index encompassing all three principal risk factors for CVD, referred to as the triglyceride-total cholesterol-body weight index (TCBI). The primary outcomes evaluated include both the incidence and mortality rates associated with CVD.

Department of Psychiatry and Neurochemistry, Institute of Neuroscience and Physiology, Sahlgrenska Academy, Centre for Ageing and Health (AgeCap) at the University of Gothenburg, Mölndal 43139, Sweden.
Atrial fibrillation and heart failure have both been suggested to increase stroke and dementia risk. However, in observational studies, reversed causation and unmeasured confounding may occur. To mitigate these issues, this study aims to investigate if higher genetic risk for atrial fibrillation and heart failure increases dementia and stroke risk.
