Improving Trip and Slip-Resisting Skills in Older People: Perturbation Dose MattersAging negatively affects balance recovery responses following trips and slips. We hypothesize that older people can benefit from brief treadmill-based trip and slip-perturbation exposure despite reduced muscular capacities, but with neuropathology their responsiveness to these perturbations will be decreased. Thus, to facilitate long-term benefits and their generalizability to everyday life, one needs to consider the...

Vestibular Implantation and the Feasibility of Fluoroscopy-Guided Electrode InsertionRecent research has shown promising results for the development of a clinically feasible vestibular implant in the near future. However, correct electrode placement remains a challenge. It was shown that fluoroscopy was able to visualize the semicircular canal ampullae and electrodes, and guide electrode insertion in real time. Ninety-four percent of the 18 electrodes were implanted correctly (<1.5 mm distance...

Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST) of Campylobacter jejuni Isolated From Broiler Meat in EgyptPosted:Background and Objectives: Infection with Campylobacter jejuni is one of the most common causes of bacterial gastroenteritis. Infections are mostly acquired due to consumption of raw or undercooked poultry. The aim of this pilot study is to determine the prevalence and the sequence types (STs) distribution of C. jejuni isolated from broiler meat in Egypt. Materials and Methods: A total of 190 broiler...
