Open AccessLower levels of plasma syndecan-4 are associated with loss of body weight and fat-free mass after bariatric surgery
Bariatric surgery induces a significant loss of both fat mass (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM). The proteoglycan receptor syndecan-4 (SDC4) plays a crucial role in adipose tissue and skeletal muscle functions. Thu...

Serum syndecan-4 correlates with blood pressure and cardiovascular parameters but not proinflammatory markers in healthy older women
Aging is accompanied by a low-grade proinflammatory status that plays a role in age-related vascular alterations. Syndecan-4 (SDC4) is a key component of the endothelial glycocalyx, and its extracellular domai...

Open AccessLeft egocentric neglect in early subacute right-stroke patients is related to damage of the superior longitudinal fasciculus
A typical consequence of stroke in the right hemisphere is unilateral spatial neglect. Distinct forms of neglect have been described, such as space-based (egocentric) and object-based (allocentric) neglect. Ho...

Open AccessPattern of reading eye movements during monovision contact lens wear in presbyopes
Monovision can be used as a method to correct presbyopia with contact lenses (CL) but its effect on reading behavior is still poorly understood. In this study eye movements (EM) were recorded in fifteen presby...

Reading and lexical-decision tasks generate different patterns of individual variability as a function of condition difficulty
We reanalyzed previous experiments based on lexical-decision and reading-aloud tasks in children with dyslexia and control children and tested the prediction of the difference engine model (DEM) that mean cond...
