Atherosclerosis (AS) is a complex pathology process involving intricate interactions among various cells and biological processes.Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are the predominant cell type in normal arteries, and under atherosclerotic stimuli, VSMCs respond to altered blood flow and microenvironment changes by downregulating contractile mar
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of the vacuum-assisted closure (V.A.C.) system in the treatment of early hip joint infections.28 patients (11 m / 17 f; mean age 71 y.[43-84]) with early hip joint infections have been treated by means of the V.A.C.-therapy.At least one surgical revision [1-7] has been unsuccessfully perform
Simulating hurricane-generated waves is a challenging task due to rapidly fluctuating wind speed and direction, simultaneous presence of swells propagating out of the previous location of the hurricane and following/opposing waves on either side of the hurricane track, and dissipation in wind speed radially from the center of the hurricane.Bulk wav
Tannins are a chemical defense mechanism of plants consumed by herbivores.Variations in salivary physicochemical characteristics such as pH, total protein concentration (TP), and presence Toys of proline-rich proteins (PRPs) in animals have been reported as a mechanism to protect the oral cavity when consuming food with variations in pH and tannins
