The acoustic signature of decaying resonant phospholipid microbubbles
(2013)Sub-capillary sized microbubbles offer improved techniques for diagnosis and therapy of vascular related disease using ultrasound. Their physical interaction with ultrasound remains an active research field that aims to ... -
ADVANCES IN MICRO-MANUFACTURING APPLYING TRIBOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES
(2010)Micro-manufacturing is a cover term for manufacturing processes applied to products possessing micro- and nano-scopic features. Due to the scaling of surface phenomena, the tribological aspects of such processes are much ... -
Age-dependent changes in 8-oxoguanine-DNA glycosylase activity are modulated by adaptive responses to physical exercise in human skeletal muscle
(2011)8-Oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoG) accumulates in the genome over time and is believed to contribute to the development of aging characteristics of skeletal muscle and various aging-related diseases. Here, we show a ... -
Antioxidant effects of whey protein on muscle C2C12 cells
(2014)In the present study, the in vitro scavenging activity of sheep whey protein against free radicals, as well as its reducing power were determined and compared with that of beef protein, soy protein and cow whey protein. ... -
Assessment of antioxidant/anticarcinogenic activity of plant extracts by a combination of molecular methods
(2005)Cancer chemoprevention is considered to be a promising approach for cancer control, as it has been identified by both epidemiological and molecular studies that environmental factors are the major causes of cancer. ... -
Assessment of local atrial repolarization in a porcine acetylcholine model of atrial flutter and fibrillation
(2009)Objectives - Progressive electrical alternans followed by conduction block and fibrillatory conduction have been suggested to precede disorganization of atrial flutter (Afl) to atrial fibrillation (AF). The purpose of the ... -
Azithromycin reduces the viability of human bronchial smooth muscle cells
(2010)The macrolide antibiotic azithromycin has an antiproliferative and autophagic effect on rabbit tracheal smooth muscle cells (SMCs). The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of azithromycin on human bronchial ... -
Beta-endorphin infusion during exercise in rats does not alter hepatic or muscle glycogen
(2001)The aim of this study was to determine whether beta -endorphin infusion influences liver or muscle glycogen concentration during exercise. Thirty-two rats (Harlan Co., IN, USA) with a body mass of 265-290 g were assigned ... -
Coagulase-negative staphylococcal bloodstream and prosthetic-device-associated infections: the role of biofilm formation and distribution of adhesin and toxin genes
(2014)Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS), especially Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus haemolyticus, have emerged as opportunistic pathogens in immunocompromised patients and those with indwelling medical devices. ... -
Comparative modelling of multi-stage production-inventory control policies with lot sizing
(2003)We propose a unified modelling framework, based on a queuing network representation, for describing, comparing and contrasting classical and new multi-stage production-inventory control policies with lot sizing. The classical ... -
Connection between Telomerase Activity in PBMC and Markers of Inflammation and Endothelial Dysfunction in Patients with Metabolic Syndrome
(2012)Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a constellation of metabolic derangements associated with vascular endothelial dysfunction and oxidative stress and is widely regarded as an inflammatory condition, accompanied by an increased ... -
The contribution of ascorbic acid and dehydroascorbic acid to the protective role of pleura during inflammatory reactions
(2007)It is well-known that parapneumonic effusions lead to the formation of inflammatory exudates which contain an increasing amount of inflammatory cells, especially polymorphonuclear. At these pathological conditions characterized ... -
Effect of histamine on the electrophysiology of the human parietal pleura
(2011)Introduction: Histamine is involved in the pathogenesis of numerous diseases and regulates the permeability of different tissues. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of histamine on the electrophysiology ... -
Effect of Ranolazine in Preventing Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation in Patients Undergoing Coronary Revascularization Surgery
(2013)Background/Objective: Ranolazine is a new anti-ischemic agent approved for chronic angina with additional electrophysiologic properties. The purpose of the present trial was to investigate its effect in preventing postoperative ... -
Effects of an Oregano Based Dietary Supplement on Performance of Broiler Chickens Experimentally Infected with Eimeria Acervulina and Eimeria Maxima
(2011)A study was conducted to examine the effect of dietary oregano essential oil supplementation on the performance of broiler chickens challenged with Eimeria acervulina and Eimeria maxima at 14 days of age. A total of 375 ... -
The effects of muscle damage on running economy in healthy males
(2005)Published information on aspects related to Muscle damage and running economy is both limited and contradictory. To contribute to the current debate, we investigated the effects of an eccentric exercise session on selected ... -
The elastic-plastic indentation response of a columnar thermal barrier coating
(2010)Thermal barrier coatings with a columnar microstructure are prone to erosion damage by a mechanism of surface cracking upon impact by small foreign particles. In order to explore this erosion mechanism, the elastic indentation ... -
Emergence and maintenance of multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli of canine origin harbouring a bla(CMY-2)-IncI1/ST65 plasmid and topoisomerase mutations
(2014)To characterize the mechanisms implicated in fluoroquinolone (FQ) and expanded-spectrum cephalosporin (ESC) resistance in three clinical and seven faecal multidrug-resistant (MDR; resistant to at least three antimicrobial ... -
Endocrine, paracrine, and autocrine placental mediators in labor
