The ability of the central nervous system to form motor memories, a process contributing to motor learning and skill acquisition, decreases with age. Dopaminergic activity, one of the mechanisms implicated in memory formation, experiences a similar decline with aging. It is possible that restoring dopaminergic function in elderly adults could lead to improved formation of motor memories with tr...

WM is an unusual low-grade lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma characterised by proliferation of malignant lymphocytoid cells in the bone marrow and lymph nodes that secretes monoclonal IgM. WM typically .affects elderly men who usually present with systemic symptoms of fatigue, anaemia, bleeding and hyperviscosity. Peripheral neuropathy occurs in approximately one-third of patients with WM. Polyneuropa...

objectives: the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of gender on plasma myostatin at rest and in response to acute resistance exercise in elderly men and women. methods & materials: 12 healthy older men (age=69±1.23 and bmi=23±0.3 kg/m2) and 12 healthy older women (age=68±2.14 and bmi=23±0.4 kg/m2) volunteered for participation in this study. 72hours after the determination of musc...

The Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) offers significant benefits to the aircraft, ship, personnel, and operational capabilities. EMALS has such advantages as high thrust, good controllability, reusable, etc., as a launching motor, a double-side plate Permanent Magnet Linear Synchronous Motor (PMLSM) can provide high instantaneous thrust. This paper presents the design and analysis...

The serum albumin level is a widely accepted indicator of nutritional status in healthy adults and elderly individuals. However, there are few data regarding the distribution and correlates of serum albumin levels in individuals with intellectual and/or motor disabilities. We conducted a cross-sectional study at a public facility for individuals with intellectual and/or motor disabilities in Ib...

Objective. To assess walking capacity and physical activity using clinical measures and to explore their relationships with motor impairment late after stroke. Subjects. A nonrandomised sample of 22 men and 9 women with a mean age of 60 years, 7-10 years after stroke. Methods. Fugl-Meyer Assessment, maximum walking speed, 6 min walk test, perceived exertion, and heart rate were measured, and th...
