INTER-LIMB MUSCLE SYNERGIES AND KINEMATIC ANALYSIS OF HANDS-AND-KNEES CRAWLING IN TYPICALLY DEVELOPING INFANTS AND INFANTS WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DELAY

Inter-Limb Muscle Synergies and Kinematic Analysis of Hands-and-Knees Crawling in Typically Developing Infants and Infants With Developmental Delay

Hands-and-knees-crawling is an important motor developmental milestone and a unique window into the development of central nervous system (CNS).Mobility during crawling is regularly used in clinical assessments to identify delays in motor development.However, possible contribution from CNS impairments to motor development delay is still unknown.The

Genomic exploration of the fermented meat isolate Staphylococcus shinii IMDO-S216 with a focus on competitiveness-enhancing secondary metabolites

Abstract Background Staphylococcus shinii appears as an umbrella species encompassing several strains of Staphylococcus pseudoxylosus and Staphylococcus xylosus.Given its phylogenetic closeness to S.xylosus, S.shinii can be found in similar ecological niches, including the microbiota of fermented meats where the species may contribute to colour and

Causal Inference of Carnitine on Blood Pressure and potential mediation by uric acid: A mendelian randomization analysis

Background: Dietary change alters blood pressure (BP) but the specific causal dietary elements are unclear.Given previous observational data suggesting serum carnitine or uric acid affect BP, we investigated the role of serum carnitine and serum uric acid concentrations on BP, and considered mediation stone calf puller by lipids and insulin resista

A small Universe

Many cosmological models assume or imply that the total size of the universe is very large, perhaps even infinite.Here we argue instead that the universe might be comparatively small, in fact not much larger than the currently observed size.A concrete implementation of this idea is provided by the no-boundary proposal, in combination ultra max dog
