Description :
Synthetic pathways of two novel sulfurated precursors for [18F]-labelling by oxidative fluorodesulfurization reaction are described. A three-step sequence starting from N-phthalimido-beta-alanine allows the preparation of a new trithioorthoester as valuable precursor of the synthesis of [18F]-3,3,3-...

Evaluation of handgrip force from EMG measurements.
Description :
A series of experiments were performed in order to investigate whether estimates of handgrip force could be derived with fair accuracy from surface EMG levels recorded on the finger flexors of the forearm, taking into account the position of the wrist in the flexion-extension plane and in the ulnar-...

Description :
Diblock PEG-p(CL-co-TMC) [methoxypoly(ethylene glycol)-poly(caprolactone/trimethylene carbonate)] copolymers form micelles spontaneously and significantly increase the solubility of poorly water-soluble drugs. The aim of this work was to assess these diblock copolymers as oral drug delivery systems ...

Comparison of atomic absorption and fluorescence spectroscopic methods for the routine determination of urinary arsenic.
Description :
OBJECTIVE: Interpretation of urinary arsenic measurements is sometimes difficult because of the absorption of seafood that contains trimethylated arsenic forms (arsenobetaine and arsenocholine). The objective of this study was to develop a rapid and robust technique for the measurement of the sum of...

Regulation of mTOR by amino acids and resistance exercise in skeletal muscle.
Description :
Resistance exercise disturbs skeletal muscle homeostasis leading to activation of catabolic and anabolic processes within the muscle cell. A current challenge of exercise biology is to describe the molecular mechanisms of regulation by which contractile activity stimulates net protein breakdown duri...

Genetic population structure of the vulnerable bog fritillary butterfly.
Description :
Populations of the bog fritillary butterfly Proclossiana eunomia (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae) occur in patchy habitat in central and western Europe. P. eunomia is a vulnerable species in the Belgian Ardennes and the number of occupied sites has significantly decreased in this region since the 1960s. R...

Description :
The role played by sensory information in maintaining motor cortical representations is still incompletely understood. We investigated the effect of digital anaesthesia of the index finger and thumb on the amplitude of motor evoked potentials to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) recorded from ...

Cell adhesive PET membranes by surface grafting of RGD peptidomimetics.
Description :
A non-peptide mimic of the Arg-Gly Asp (RGD) active sequence of adhesive proteins (such as vitronectin) has been equipped with two different spacer-arms for surface anchorage. The covalent grafting on poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) membrane was realized via the activation of the hydroxyl polymer...

Celecoxib improves the efficiency of the locomotor mechanism in patients with knee osteoarthritis. A randomised, placebo, double-blind and cross-over trial.
Description :
OBJECTIVE: To compare the effect of celecoxib vs placebo treatment on clinical and gait variables in knee osteoarthritis (OA) patients; focusing on the efficiency of the locomotor mechanism. METHODS: STUDY DESIGN: A prospective, randomised, double-blind placebo-controlled trial. PATIENTS: Eight adul...

Direct evidence for a position input to the smooth pursuit system.
Description :
When objects move in our environment, the orientation of the visual axis in space requires the coordination of two types of eye movements: saccades and smooth pursuit. The principal input to the saccadic system is position error, whereas it is velocity error for the smooth pursuit system. Recently, ...
