Are trunk kinematics related to generation and transfer of the trunk flexor momentum associated with sit-to-stand performance in chronic stroke survivors?
The poorer STS performance in stroke survivors is associated to the kinematic changes of the trunk related to the poorer ability to generate/transfer the trunk flexor momentum.
In the present study, we show that hBD-3 expression significantly promotes wound closure in S. aureus infected diabetic wounds in a preclinical large-animal model. Furthermore, a ten-fold reduction of bacterial growth on day 4 was detected. These findings indicate that beta-defensin-3 may play a major role in diabetic wound healing and wound infections.
