Control Strategies for Lower-limb Exoskeletons: from Full Mobilization to Assistance of Balance

Romain Pierre François Baud

Bipedal locomotion is a remarkable feature of humans. This skill is necessary for the activities of daily living. Unfortunately, many people only partially benefit from it or miss it entirely because of a disability. This may result in a slower gait, less ...

Human biases in body measurement estimation

Venkata Rama Kiran Garimella, Robert West

Body measurements, including weight and height, are key indicators of health. Being able to visually assess body measurements reliably is a step towards increased awareness of overweight and obesity and is thus important for public health. Nevertheless it ...

Compound 18 Improves Glucose Tolerance in a Hepatocyte TGR5-dependent Manner in Mice

Kristina Schoonjans, Adriano Maida

The bile acid receptor, TGR5, is a key regulator of glucose homeostasis, but the mechanisms by which TGR5 signaling improves glucose regulation are incompletely defined. In particular, TGR5 has an increasingly appreciated role in liver physiology and patho ...

Growth differentiation factor 15 protects against the aging-mediated systemic inflammatory response in humans and mice

Johan Auwerx, Dongryeol Ryu, Jun Yong Kim, Ludger Jan Elzuë Goeminne

Mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with aging-mediated inflammatory responses, leading to metabolic deterioration, development of insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes. Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) is an important mitokine generated in r ...

Genome-wide gene-based analyses of weight loss interventions identify a potential role for NKX6.3 in metabolism

Patrick Descombes, Hélène Ruffieux, Jörg Hager, Nele Gheldof, Sylviane Métairon

Hundreds of genetic variants have been associated with Body Mass Index (BMI) through genome-wide association studies (GWAS) using observational cohorts. However, the genetic contribution to efficient weight loss in response to dietary intervention remains ...

Patellar bone strain after total knee arthroplasty is correlated with bone mineral density and body mass index

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Philippe Büchler, Elham Taghizadeh, Adeliya Latypova

Patella-related complications after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remain a major clinical concern. Previous studies have suggested that increased postoperative patellar bone strain could be related to such complications, but there is limited knowledge on p ...

Relationships between cartilage thickness and subchondral bone mineral density in non-osteoarthritic and severely osteoarthritic knees: In vivo concomitant 3D analysis using CT arthrography

Julien Favre, Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli

Objective: To test whether subchondral bone mineral density (sBMD) and cartilage thickness (CTh) of femoral condyles are correlated in knees without and with severe medial femorotibial osteoarthritis (OA), using a subregional analysis with computerized tom ...
