Effects of physical therapy interventions on balance ability in people with traumatic brain injury: A systematic review
Full text linkAbstract.
BACKGROUND: Balance deficits are common impairments in the individual’s post-traumatic brain injury (TBI). Balance
deficits can restrict the activities of daily living and productive participation in social life. To date, there were no systematic
reviews examined the impact of physical therapy intervention on balance post-TBI.
OBJECTIVE: To examine the effects of physical therapy interventions on balance impairments in individuals with TBI.
METHODS: We systematically searched in PUBMED, EMBASE, SCOPUS, PEDro, MEDLINE, REHABDATA, and web
of science for randomized controlled trials (RCTs), clinical control trials, and pilot studies that examined the effects of
physical therapy interventions on balance deficits in individuals post-TBI. The methodological quality was estimated using
the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale.
RESULTS: Eight studies published from 2003 to 2019 were included in this study. A total of 259 TBI participants post-TBI
were included in this review, 71 (27.41%) of which were females. The methodological quality for selected studies ranged
from low to high. There were no significant differences between experimental interventions; virtual reality (VR), vestibular
rehabilitation therapy (VRT), and control group interventions; other traditional physical therapy interventions.
CONCLUSIONS: The evidence about the effects of the physical therapy interventions in improving the balance ability
post-TBI was limited. Further randomized controlled trials strongly warranted to understand the role of physical therapy in
patients with TBI who complain from balance deficits

Comprehensive evaluation of error correction methods for high-throughput sequencing data
Full text linkThe advent of DNA and RNA sequencing has significantly revolutionized the study of genomics and molecular biology. Development of high-throughput sequencing technologies have brought about a quick and cheaper way to sequence genomes. Different technologies use different underlying methods for sequencing and are prone to different error rates. Though many tools exist for error correction in high-throughput sequencing data, no standard technology-independent method is available yet to evaluate the accuracy and effectiveness of these error correction tools. In order to supply a standard way to evaluate error correction methods for DNA and RNA sequencing, this thesis presents a Software Package for Error Correction Tool Assessment on nuCLEic acid sequences (SPECTACLE). SPECTACLE can evaluate corrected DNA and RNA reads from many underlying sequencing technologies and differentiate heterozygous alleles from sequencing errors. The work provides some key insights on many factors that stress the challenges in error correction by compiling high-throughput sequencing read sets from technologies like Illumina, PacBio and ONT. The performances of 23 different error correction tools have been analyzed using SPECTACLE and the compiled datasets. This thesis also provides unique and helpful insights into the strengths and weaknesses of various error correction tools and aims to establish a standard platform for evaluating error correction tools in the future.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2019-05-01The student, Gowthami Jayashri Manikandan, accepted the attached license on 2017-04-25 at 16:19.The student, Gowthami Jayashri Manikandan, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2017-04-25 at 16:29.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2017-04-27 at 16:31.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #11062 on 2017-08-10 at 15:07:05Made available in DSpace on 2017-08-10T20:33:25Z (GMT).

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
