The microcycle of inflammation and performance changes after a basketball match
(2014)Basketball incorporates intense eccentric muscle activity that induces muscle microtrauma and an inflammatory response. This study investigated time-dependent inflammatory and performance responses during a weekly microcycle ... -
A model based on the assessment of intrinsic creep resistance concept
(2003)In the present study a simple model is proposed to assess creep behavior. The model is applied to experimental results performed on austenitic steel X8 CrNiMoNb 16 16. The model is based on a modification of the Levy-Mises ... -
No adverse effects of statins on muscle function and health-related parameters in the elderly: An exercise study
(2013)The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of a repeated bout of eccentric exercise on health-related parameters and muscle performance on subjects undergoing atorvastatin therapy. Twenty-eight elderly men ... -
A numeric-symbolic approach to the problem of localization of plastic flow
(2001)A method combining numerical and symbolic computations is presented for deciding whether or not a mechanical state given numerically in terms of its fourth-order tenser of moduli satisfies the localization condition, and ... -
Oxidative stress responses in older men during endurance training and detraining
(2004)Purpose: Aging is associated with increased oxidative stress, whereas systematic exercise training has been shown to improve quality of life and functional performance of the aged. This study aimed to evaluate responses ... -
Pareto optimal sensor locations for structural identification
(2005)Theoretical and computational issues arising in the selection of the optimal sensor configuration for parameter estimation in structural dynamics are addressed. The objective is to optimally locate sensors in the structure ... -
Plant phenolics protect from bleomycin-induced oxidative stress and mutagenicity in Salmonella typhimurium TA102
(2004)Antioxidants are deemed to be important against DNA damage and mutations induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS). An assay for the ability of plant phenolics to protect against mutations caused by bleomycin treatment in ... -
Practical approaches to effective management of intestinal radiation injury: Benefit of resectional surgery
(2011)AIM: To study the outcome of patients undergoing surgical resection of the bowel for sustained radiation-induced damage intractable to conservative management. METHODS: During a 7-year period we operated on 17 cases (5 ... -
Predicting machinability parameters on drilling Glass Fibre Reinforced Plastics using Response Surface Methodology
(2008)Glass Fibre Reinforced Plastics (GFRPs) are new composite materials rapidly introduced in the manufacturing of industrial structures. The present study investigates the impact of cutting conditions, namely feed and cutting ... -
The relationship between Rarebit perimetry and OCT-derived retinal nerve fibre layer thickness in glaucoma
(2008)To examine the association between measures of neuroretinal matrix integrity as determined with Rarebit perimetry and optical coherence tomography (OCT)-derived retinal nerve fibre layer thickness. One randomly selected ... -
Role of the S100B serum biomarker in the treatment of children suffering from mild traumatic brain injury
(2010)Object. The aim of this study was to provide a systematic update of the current literature regarding the clinical role of the S100B serum biomarker in the initial evaluation of children who have sustained a mild traumatic ... -
Serotonin and Neuron-specific Enolase: Serum Acute and Mid-term Levels and their Association With Posttraumatic Depression
(2010)Objectives: To investigate the association between serotonin (SER), cholesterol, and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) serum levels with depression after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Materials and Methods: Seventy-four patients ... -
Sperm DNA fragmentation measured by Halosperm does not impact on embryo quality and ongoing pregnancy rates in IVF/ICSI treatments
(2015)Sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF) has been proposed to be one of the main markers regarding male infertility. A prospective study was performed to assess primarily whether sperm DNA damage has any impact on embryological data ... -
A study of size effects and length scales in fracture and fatigue of metals by second gradient modelling
(2012)As the dimensions of structures are scaled down to the micro- and nano-domains, the mechanical behaviour becomes size dependent and thus, we cannot expect the classical elasticity solutions to hold. In particular, recent ... -
