Everolimus for Children With Recurrent or Progressive Low-Grade Glioma: Results From the Phase II PNOC001 Trial

PURPOSE The PNOC001 phase II single-arm trial sought to estimate progression-free survival (PFS) associated with everolimus therapy for progressive/recurrent pediatric low-grade glioma (pLGG) on the basis of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT/mammali ...

Gait speed in clinical and daily living assessments in Parkinson’s disease patients: performance versus capacity

Kamiar Aminian, Farzin Dadashi, Benoît Mariani, Arash Atrsaei

Gait speed often referred as the sixth vital sign is the most powerful biomarker of mobility. While a clinical setting allows the estimation of gait speed under controlled conditions that present functional capacity, gait speed in real-life conditions prov ...

Toward a remote assessment of walking bout and speed: application in patients with multiple sclerosis

Kamiar Aminian, Farzin Dadashi, Benoît Mariani, Arash Atrsaei

Gait speed as a powerful biomarker of mobility is mostly assessed in controlled environments, e.g. in the clinic. With wearable inertial sensors, gait speed can be estimated in an objective manner. However, most of the previous works have validated the gai ...

Genome-wide association study of virologic response with efavirenz-containing or abacavir-containing regimens in AIDS clinical trials group protocols

Paul Jack Mc Laren

Background Efavirenz and abacavir are components of recommended first-line regimens for HIV-1 infection. We used genome-wide genotyping and clinical data to explore genetic associations with virologic failure among patients randomized to efavirenz-containi ...

Patient-specific spinal stiffness in AIS: a preoperative and noninvasive method

Steve Michel Berger

The clinical tests currently used to assess spinal biomechanics preoperatively are unable to assess true mechanical spinal stiffness. They rely on spinal displacement without considering the force required to deform a patient's spine. We propose a preopera ...

An effective algorithm for the generation of patient-specific Purkinje networks in computational electrocardiology

Fabio Nobile, Christian Vergara, Elena Faggiano

The Purkinje network is responsible for the fast and coordinated distribution of the electrical impulse in the ventricle that triggers its contraction. Therefore, it is necessary to model its presence to obtain an accurate patient-specific model of the ven ...
