Full explanation for the pathogenesis of syringomyelia (SM), a neuropathology characterized by the formation of a cystic cavity (syrinx) in the spinal cord (SC), has not yet been provided. It has been hypothesized that abnormal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pr ...
A computer model for simulating pressure and flow propagation in the human arterial system is developed. The model is based on the one-dimensional flow equations and includes non-linearities arising from geometry and material properties. Fifty five arteria ...
The time of sit-stand and stand-sit transition and its duration were measured using a miniature gyroscope on the chest and a portable recorder on the waist Based on a simple model and wavelet analysis, three parameters related to postural transition, namel ...
The vitamin D(3) and nicotine (VDN) model is a model of isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) due to arterial calcification raising arterial stiffness and vascular impedance similar to an aged and stiffened arterial tree. We therefore analyzed the impact of ...
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) for cancer in the esophagus and bronchi with red (630 nm) light may occasionally lead to wall perforation and fistula. Therefore, the clin. use of a less penetrating wavelength (514 nm) was investigated for the curative treatment ...
Introduction: A reliable measurement of the physical activity in everyday life should allow a better assessment of the utility and the relevance of a number of medical treatments. Continuous 24-h recordings of posture and motion can be generally useful in ...
Three diamond workers had occupational asthma attributed to the inhalation of cobalt powder. The exposure originated from high speed polishing disks with an abrasive consisting of microdiamonds cemented in extra fine cobalt not alloyed to tungsten carbide. ...
