Gait and Balance Parameters Inferred with the PROTXX Head Accelerometer (Phase 2)

The vestibular organs detect head movement and are involved in the coordination of standing balance. With balance problems being a common and expensive healthcare cost internationally, there is a growing need for new diagnostic and therapeutic medical devices that target vestibular balance function. In particular, a wearable device that could be used outside the clinic […]

Next-generation Forecasting of Hazards Offshore from River Deltas

Seafloor avalanches of sediment, known as turbidity currents, can be exceptionally powerful and travel 100s km into the deep sea. These flows pose a significant hazard to seafloor infrastructure such as telecommunication cables, which carry the internet. Understanding the processes that trigger turbidity currents is therefore essential to predict when and where they occur. Detailed […]

Investigating the neuroprotective potential of interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) after soman exposure

Organophosphorus compounds (organophosphates) cause numerous deaths globally due to pesticide poisoning or due to their alternative use as chemical weapons. Potent organophosphates, such as soman, are highly toxic inducing paralysis, seizures, respiratory failure and death. Exposure to sub-lethal soman doses results in immediate convulsive seizures, leading to decreased blood flow in the brain and the […]
