Background: This research aims to compare lower limb inter-segmental coordination, a higher order property of the human movement system, during walking between healthy controls and people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) with and without fall history.

Methods: Fifty PwMS (25 patients with fall history and 25 patients without fall history) and 25 healthy controls participated in the present study. Three-dimensional coordinate data of the lower limbs were collected during treadmill walking at a preferred walking speed. The phasing relationship and its variability between lower limb segments were evaluated using the mean absolute relative phase (MARP) and deviation phase (DP) during the stance and swing phases of gait.

Results: Compared to healthy controls, both groups of PwMS demonstrated significantly greater shank-thigh MARP values during the stance phase (p < 0.001). In addition, MARP values of foot-shank coordination were significantly smaller in both groups of PwMS than the healthy controls during both the stance and swing phases (p < 0.001). For the DP of shank-thigh coordination, our analysis revealed greater values in both MS fallers and non-fallers compared to healthy controls during the stance (p < 0.001) and swing phases (p < 0.001, p = 0.004, respectively). Moreover, MS fallers demonstrated greater DP values than non-fallers in swing phase (p = 0.02). For the DP of foot-shank coordination, MS fallers showed greater values compared to non-fallers and healthy controls during the stance (p = 0.009, p = 0.001, respectively) and swing phases (p = 0.01, p = 0.006, respectively).

Conclusion: Our results suggest that in addition to traditional gait parameters, examining and also facilitating lower limb inter-segmental coordination should be considered in future studies aimed at improving gait performance and reducing risk of falling in PwMS.

Recognition of food antigens by the mucosal and systemic immune system: Consequences for intestinal development and homeostasis.

Authors:
Yasmina Rodriguez-Sillke Alexander Visekruna Rainer Glauben Britta Siegmund Ulrich Steinhoff

Int J Med Microbiol 2021 Feb 25;311(3):151493. Epub 2021 Feb 25.

Institute for Medical Microbiology and Hygiene, Philipps University of Marburg, Marburg, Germany. Electronic address:

The impact of nutrition on systemic and intestinal immune responses remains controversially discussed and yet not fully understood. The majority of studies investigating the effects of dietary antigens focused to understand how local and systemic unresponsiveness is induced by innocuous food antigens. Moreover, it has been shown that both, microbial and dietary antigens are essential for the normal development of the mucosal immune system. Read More

Coagulation disorders in Chagas disease: A pathophysiological systematic review and meta-analysis.

Authors:
Luis E Echeverría Lyda Z Rojas Sergio Alejandro Gómez-Ochoa

Thromb Res 2021 Feb 27;201:73-83. Epub 2021 Feb 27.

Public Health and Epidemiological Studies Group, Cardiovascular Foundation of Colombia, Floridablanca, Colombia.

Background: Currently, Chagas disease (CD) constitutes one of the main public health problems in Latin America. However, little is known about potential mechanisms of disease different from cardiac or digestive involvement, such as the coagulation disorders elicited by the parasite persistence in the tissues. The aim of this systematic review was to describe and characterize all the published literature that evaluated the pathophysiological aspects of coagulation disorders in CD. Read More

Idiopathic normal-pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is an uncommon neurological disorder with no known pathological hallmarks. INPH may share common degenerative pathways with other neurological diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the reversible properties of iNPH may share differing pathophysiological mechanisms with other diseases. Read More

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Seoul Asan Medical Center, Seoul, Republic of Korea.

Introduction: Vulvodynia, vulvar pain syndrome, is defined as vulvar pain of at least a 3-month duration without a clear identifiable cause, which may have associated factor and the etiology and treatment of this challenging disease is still unclear. Dyspareunia is a relevant symptom of patients with vulvodynia. Vaginal microbiome has known an important role in local immune-inflammatory responses and it may be important pathogenic mechanism in vulvodynia. Read More

P-wave terminal force in dogs with myxomatous mitral valve disease.

Laboratory of Comparative Cardiology, Department of Veterinary Medicine, Federal University of Parana (UFPR), Rua dos Funcionários 1540, Curitiba, 80035-050, Brazil.

P-wave terminal force (PTF) is accepted as an electrocardiographic criteria to assess left atrial abnormalities in humans. In this study, the applicability of PTF in dogs with myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) was evaluated, and compared its ability to identify left atrial dilatation with four other P-wave derived parameters. Seventy-four dogs with echocardiographically diagnosed MMVD were recruited for this prospective cross-sectional study. Read More
