Sensorimotor training prior total knee arthroplasty and effects on functional outcome: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
2021
Abstract Background Altered muscle activation patterns and proprioception, loss of strength, and weight bearing asymmetries are common limitations after total knee arthroplasty, which can also affect balance. Therefore, preoperative sensorimotor training has been proposed to enhance surgical outcome. Research question Is preoperative sensorimotor training effective in improving functional outcome in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty? Does preoperative sensorimotor training affect secondary outcomes such as balance, pain, and quality of life? Methods A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted by searching PEDro, MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Scopus databases from…

Differential of metric valued Sobolev maps
2020
We introduce a notion of differential of a Sobolev map between metric spaces. The differential is given in the framework of tangent and cotangent modules of metric measure spaces, developed by the first author. We prove that our notion is consistent with Kirchheim's metric differential when the source is a Euclidean space, and with the abstract differential provided by the first author when the target is $\mathbb{R}$.
L’UTILIZZO IN MEDICINA LEGALE DELLA MISURAZIONEDELLA SALUTE DEL MINORE SECONDO ICF-CY: ESEMPLIFICA-ZIONE CASISTICA
2015
The evaluation of minors within welfare contest requires an adequate multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approach to clinical and psycho-social order. There are many evaluation’s instruments, but in the medico legal context particularly useful is the evaluation according to the guidelines of the World Health Organization, in the recent codification ICF, International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health [1] version YC (Children and Youth) [2]. The use of minor measurement according to ICF-CY is here reported in a child’s health experience with neuropsychiatric disorders. The system ICF-CY offers a revolutionary new model that relates biological, psychological and social …
Structural and functional salivary disorders in type 2 diabetic patients
2006
La diabetes mellitus tipo 2 es el desorden metabólico más frecuente, siendo además causante de una importante morbi-mortalidad. En estos pacientes se han descrito alteraciones estructurales de la parotida (sialosis) que podrían comportar modificaciones en la composición salivar, así como un incremento de patología dental y periodontal. Objetivos: establecer las alteraciones bioquímicas de la saliva y su posible correlación con los hallazgos morfológicos. Diseño del estudio: se realizo un estudio clínico de 33 pacientes, 17 de ellos con diabetes tipo 2. Se recogieron muestras de saliva para análisis bioquímico y suero para control metabólico. Resultados: en la saliva de los pacientes diabéti…
Functional Extrapolations to Tame Unbound Anions in Density-Functional Theory Calculations
2019
Standard flavors of density-functional theory (DFT) calculations are known to fail in describing anions, due to large self-interaction errors. The problem may be circumvented using localized basis sets of reduced size, leaving no variational flexibility for the extra electron to delocalize. Alternatively, a recent approach exploiting DFT evaluations of total energies on electronic densities optimized at the Hartree-Fock (HF) level has been reported, showing that the self-interaction-free HF densities are able to lead to an improved description of the additional electron, returning affinities in close agreement with the experiments. Nonetheless, such an approach can fail when the HF densitie…
Misalignment of Spectral Data: Constrained Optimization in a Functional Data Analysis Framework
2022
Across several branches of sciences, a large number of applications involves data represented as functions and curves, for which functional data analysis can play a central role in solving a variety of problem formulations. With some thecnologies, the obtained data are spectra containing a vast amount of information concerning the composition of a sample: in order to infer the chemical composition of the materials from spectra, functional data analysis offers a valuable mean for characterizing the spectral response through identification of peaks position and intensity. The collection of data from different measurement may exhibit similar peak pattern but display misalignment in their peaks…
Dynamic Functional Connectivity in the Musical Brain
2019
Musical training causes structural and functional changes in the brain due to its sensory-motor demands. This leads to differences in how musicians perceive and process music as compared to non-musicians, thereby providing insights into brain adaptations and plasticity. Correlational studies and network analysis investigations have indicated the presence of large-scale brain networks involved in the processing of music and have highlighted differences between musicians and non-musicians. However, studies on functional connectivity in the brain during music listening tasks have thus far focused solely on static network analysis. Dynamic Functional Connectivity (DFC) studies have lately been …
