This study compared the effects of 2 different high-intensity interval training (HIIT) programs in professional male canoe polo athletes. Responses of peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak), ventilatory thresho…
The combination of medical imaging with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has enabled the study of 3-D blood flow on a patient-specific level. However, with models based on gated high-resolution data…
As lipofilling of the female breast is becoming more popular in plastic surgery, the use of MRI to assess breast volume has been employed to control postoperative results. Therefore, we sought to eval…
Twenty-four male subjects were randomized to receive two oral dosage forms of trihexyphenidyl HCl (alpha-cyclohexyl-alpha-phenyl-1-piperidinepropanol HCl). The dosage regimens were (1) a 5-mg immediat…
Helical CT is being increasingly used for the evaluation of suspected tracheal diseases. Although nonneoplastic and noninfectious diseases of the trachea are rare, their appearance on CT images may be…
For decades, human activities have gradually destroyed the natural habitats of wild grapevine, Vitis vinifera L. subsp. sylvestris (Gmelin) Hegi, and nowadays this species is endangered in southern Eu…

Artificial insemination and in vitro embryo production are powerful tools for disseminating superior genetic qualities and improving the reproductive performance of dairy and beef cattle. In conjuncti…
Three systems for the localized heating of the spinal cord of the mouse have been evaluated by measuring the temperatures in the spinal canal (Tsp); at a reference location dorsal to the spine (Tdo), …
The nonprewhitening matched filter (NPWMF) was used to study the effect of wavelet-based lossy image compression on lesion detectability. Two classes of images, representing lesion-present and lesion-…
The micronucleus assay in human lymphocytes is, at present, frequently used to assess chromosomal damage caused by ionizing radiation or mutagens. Manual scoring of micronuclei (MN) by trained personn…
The experience of self is unique and pivotal to clinically relevant cognitive and emotional functions. However, well-controlled data on specialized brain regions and functional networks underlying the…
The viscoelastic, muscular and endothelial components of the vessel wall may be altered in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). In order to investigate the relative contribution of each of th…
Lifestyle programmes have been shown to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes in European populations. The participation of Maori in many mainstream health programmes is poor. This study evaluates a life…
BACKGROUND: Personal lubricant use is common during anal intercourse. Some water-based products with high osmolality and low pH can damage genital and rectal tissues, and the polymer polyquaternium 15…
Night sleep registrations were carried out using a portable 4-channel tape recorder (Medilog 4-24 recorder). The evaluation of the sleep stages was done by a computer analysis. One channel was used fo…
Home composting can be an effective way to reduce the volume of municipal solid waste. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of Effective Microorganism™ (EM) for the home scale co-composting…
Automated seizure blockage is a top research priority of the American Epilepsy Society. This delivery modality (referred to herein as contingent or closed loop) requires for implementation a seizure d…
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to assess a radiographic method for spinal curvature evaluation in children, based on spinous processes, and identify its normality limits.METHODS: The sample …
