Quadriceps Strength Influences Patient Function More Than Single Leg Forward Hop During Late-Stage ACL Rehabilitation by Meredith Chaput, Marcus Palimenio, Brooke Farmer, Dimitrios Katsavelis, Jennifer J. Bagwell, Kimberly A. Turman, Chris Wichman, Terry L. Grindstaff

“…The relationship between IKDC scores and performance measures (LSI and involved limb) was determined using stepwise linear regression. Frequency counts were used to determine whether participants met clinical thresholds (IKDC $\geq$ 90%, quadriceps and single-leg forward hop LSI $\geq$ 90%, quadriceps peak torque $\geq$ 3.0 Nm/kg, and single-leg forward hop $\geq$ 80% height for females and $\geq$ 90% height for males)…”

The moderating role of walking in the association between HDL cholesterol and cognitive function among Korean older adults: a nationwide population-based cross-sectional study by Kyuyoung Cho, Kyuyoung Cho, Hye Won Chai, Hye Won Chai, Min Kyoung Park

“…We conducted a subgroup analysis to explore whether the interaction of these factors differs depending on older adults’ history of chronic conditions.MethodsThis study used cross-sectional Korean National Health Insurance Service data from 2009 that included a sample of older adults who remained qualified for health insurance and medical aid (n = 20,162). Linear regression models that tested for the interaction effects between HDL and frequency of walking on cognition were analyzed separately for two groups – no history of hypertension or diabetes and those with a history of hypertension or diabetes.ResultsResults showed significant interaction effects (β = −0.024, p < 0.05) between HDL cholesterol and walking only among older adults with a history of chronic diseases. …”

Characterization of membrane potential dependency of mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake by an improved biophysical model of mitochondrial Ca2+ uniporter. by Ranjan K Pradhan, Feng Qi, Daniel A Beard, Ranjan K Dash

“…To effectively characterize this ΔΨ dependency, we reformulate the ΔΨ dependencies of the rate constants of Ca(2+) translocation via the uniporter by exclusively redefining the biophysical parameters associated with the free-energy barrier of Ca(2+) translocation based on a generalized, non-linear Goldman-Hodgkin-Katz formulation. This alternate uniporter model has all the characteristics of the previous uniporter model and is also able to characterize the possible mechanisms of both the extra-matrix Ca(2+) and ΔΨ dependencies of mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake. …”
