Atypical Parkinsonism Presenting with Isolated Gaze Palsy

Dietary intakes and daily distribution patterns of macronutrients in youth socc...

Introduction: There has been an abundance of dietary analysis research conducted on adult male soccer players, while studies on youth players are lacking. Furthermore, the daily distribution of energy and macronutrient intake throughout the day has been reported to influence training adaptations, but this is often not considered in the literature. This study aims to quantify daily energy and macronutrient intak...

Atypical Parkinsonism with Eye-of-the-Tiger Sign

Altered plasma protein profiles in genetic FTD – a GENFI study

Background: Plasma biomarkers reflecting the pathology of frontotemporal dementia would add significant value to clinical practice, to the design and implementation of treatment trials as well as our understanding of disease mechanisms. The aim of this study was to explore the levels of multiple plasma proteins in individuals from families with genetic frontotemporal dementia. Methods: Blood samples from 693 pa...

A Three-Fold Perspective of Continuous IT Value Assessment

Assessing Information Technology (IT) value is a priority in the digital age. The topic has been studied for decades, but the difficulty to (1) continuously measure and (2) steer value creation with IT investments still presents challenges. This paper presents an approach to evaluate the value of IT over time. The results include a multidimensional framework for the main phases of (1) dynamic contextualization ...

O consumo de hidratos de carbono em futebolistas masculinos: revisão sistemátic...

INTRODUÇÃO: As diretrizes relativas ao consumo de hidratos de carbono têm sido extensivamente discutidas. Apesar deste macronutriente ser reconhecidamente determinante no rendimento desportivo, escassas revisões sistemáticas e meta-análises foram conduzidas para avaliar a ingestão de hidratos de carbono em futebolistas masculinos. OBJETIVOS: O objetivo desta revisão sistemática, com meta-análise, foi avaliar a ...

Surgical Resection Combined with Adjuvant Radiotherapy and Non-Steroidal Anti-I...

Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a well-known complication following total hip arthroplasty (THA), with an average incidence of 30%. Patients are classified according to Brooker’s staging system. In advanced stages (III and IV), HO may limit hip motion and cause intolerable pain. For these symptomatic stages, surgical excision is mandatory, usually combined with prophylaxis of recurrence with non-steroidal anti...

A Framework for Continuous Assessment of IT Value in Industry 4.0

Assessing the value of information technology (IT) is a priority to modern organizations and one of the most challenging. The topic is studied for dec-ades but the continuous nature of digital transformation in industry (DTI) added a new dimension to the problem. This paper presents a framework to capture IT value over time, supporting industries in (1) monitoring the out-comes of their digital transformation a...

A link between synaptic plasticity and reorganization of brain activity in Park...

The link between synaptic plasticity and reorganization of brain activity in health and disease remains a scientific challenge. We examined this question in Parkinson's disease (PD) where functional up-regulation of postsynaptic D2 receptors has been documented while its significance at the neural activity level has never been identified. We investigated cortico-subcortical plasticity in PD using the oculomotor...

Finite dimensional models of the hydraulic hammer effect and solar tower control

The occurrence of traveling shock waves associated to the sudden opening or closing of a valve, known as the hammer effect, is important from the perspective of control design because it imposes an upper bound constraint on the maximum bandwidth achievable for the controlled system. This article addresses the problem of characterizing hydraulic hammer effect of the heating fluid in a solar power tower. The tran...
