Progressive resistance training prevents loss of muscle mass and strength in bile duct‐ligated rats
(Wiley, 2018-11-05)
BACKGROUND: Loss of muscle mass and strength is common in cirrhosis and increases
the risk of hyperammonaemia and hepatic encephalopathy. Resistance training
optimizes muscle mass and strength in several ...
Impact of uric acid on liver injury and intestinal permeability following resuscitated hemorrhagic shock in rats
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2020-07-06)
BACKGROUND
Multiorgan failure is a consequence of severe ischemia-reperfusion injury after traumatic hemorrhagic shock (HS), a major cause of mortality in trauma patients. Circulating uric acid (UA), released from cell ...
Slow and faster post-stroke walkers have a different trunk progression and braking impulse during gait
(Elsevier, 2018-12-26)
Background
Braking forces absorbed by the leading paretic limb are greater than expected with regard to gait speed and not correlated with propulsive forces generated by the non-paretic limb in individuals with severe ...
Computationally efficient model to predict the deformations of a cellular foot orthotic
(Elsevier, 2022-04-21)
Background

Background: The persistence of cannabis use disorder (CUD) in young adults with first-episode psychosis (FEP) is associated with poor clinical and functional outcomes. Face-to-face psychological interventions are effective ...
Elevated FABP1 serum levels are associated with poorer survival in acetaminophen-induced acute liver failure
(Wiley, 2017-01-19)
Background/Aim
Acetaminophen (APAP)-induced Acute Liver Failure (ALF) is associated with significant mortality. Traditional prognostic scores lack sensitivity. Hypothesis: Serum Liver-type Fatty Acid Binding Protein (FABP1) ...
