A Mobile Application to Perform the Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) at Home: A Random Walk in the Park Is as Accurate as a Standardized 6MWT Universiteit Hasselt
The six-minute walk test (6MWT) provides an objective measurement of a person's functional exercise capacity. In this study, we developed a smartphone application that allows cardiac patients to do a self-administered 6MWT at home on a random trajectory. In a prospective study with 102 cardiovascular disease patients, we aimed to identify the optimal circumstances to perform a smartphone-measured 6MWT, i.e., the best algorithm and the best ...
Reliability and validity of 6MWT for outpatients with schizophrenia: a preliminary study KU Leuven
Although the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) has been widely used in patients with schizophrenia, there is a lack of scientific evidence about its reliability and validity in this population. The first goal of this study was to explore the test–retest reliability of the 6MWT and to identify the associated parameters that contribute to the variability of the distance walked during the 6MWT in outpatients with schizophrenia. The second goal was to ...
Test-retest reliability of spatial-temporal gait parameters (minute-by-minute) in people with multiple sclerosis during the 6MWT Universiteit Hasselt
Introduction: People with multiple sclerosis (pwMS) often present walking fatigability (WF), frequently measured through the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) and defined as a 10% decrease in distance walked from the sixth to the first minute (calculated using the distance walk index (DWI)). Objective: Previous studies investigated reliability of spatial-temporal gait parameters in pwMS mostly during short walking but few during prolonged walking ...

Context-Aware Hierarchical Information-Sensing in a 6μW 90nm CMOS Voice Activity Detector KU Leuven
© 2015 IEEE. The rise of always-listening sensors integrated in energy-scarce devices such as watches and remote-controls increases the need for intelligent scalable interfaces. Contemporary sensor interfaces digitize raw sensor data to extract information with energy-intensive computations, such as FFT, which is inefficient if the end goal is to only extract selective information for classification tasks, e.g. voice activity detection (VAD). ...
Smad 1/5 and Smad 4 Expression Are Important for Osteoclast Differentiation KU Leuven
To investigate the necessity of the canonical BMP pathway during osteoclast differentiation, we created osteoclasts with a conditional gene deletion for Smad1 and Smad5 (SMAD1/5), or Smad4 using adenovirus expressing CRE recombinase (Ad-CRE). Reduction of either Smad4 or Smad1/5 expression resulted in fewer and smaller multinuclear cells compared to control cells. We also detected changes in osteoclast enriched genes, demonstrated by decreased ...
Mortuary practice in ancient Iran from the Achaemenid to the Sasanian period (mid sixth c. BC to mid seventh c. AD) Universiteit Gent
This study provides a picture of burial rituals in ancient Iran during four very important historical periods: Achaemenid, Seleucid, Parthian and Sasanian. In the past two centuries of archaeological activities in Iran, there have been many developments in reconstructing these historical periods. In this regard, the architectural remains have always been in the centre of the attention, whereas burial remains have been largely neglected. Many ...
