Muscle strength and entheseal size in human thumbs: testing the relationship with a cadaveric model

UISPP Journal, 2019
In this study we analyse the relationship between strength and the entheseal area of the opponens pollicis (OP) and abductor pollicis longus (APL) muscles, two muscles of the hand whose main function is to oppose the thumb and move the thumb anteriorly ...

Vastus Lateralis and Vastus Intermedius as Predictors of Quadriceps Femoris Muscle Hypertrophy after Strength Training

Applied Sciences, 2022
The aim of the present study was to investigate which of the four musle heads of the quadriceps femoris is the best surrogate of quadriceps hypertrophy, following resistance training, evaluated by ultrasonography. Forty three physical education students (

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Cross-sectional analysis of long bones in a sample of ancient Egyptians

The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, 2015
Background: As diaphyseal shape is predominantly influenced by mechanical loading history, long bone cross-sections can be used to access activity patterns. The aim of this study was to evaluate long bone cross-sectional properties in a sample of ancient

PARK(ing) time–How park deficiency affects the biological clock in a Drosophila model of Parkinson's disease

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Drosophila park mutants serve as a model for Parkinson's disease. We used this strain to investigate the connection between oxidative stress and the circadian clock mechanism. We showed that increased oxidative stress affects the physiology of pacemaker cells, disrupting their daily structural plasticity. Lack of rhythmic signaling from pacemaker cells

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

Is the Trendelenburg position the only way to better visualize internal jugular veins?

Acta Medica Lituanica, 2019
Background. A larger cross-sectional area (CSA) of the internal jugular vein (IJV) makes catheterization easier and the Trendelenburg position is used to achieve this. Unfortunately, it is not comfortable for conscious patients.

TRAIL‐PEG‐Apt‐PLGA nanosystem as an aptamer‐targeted drug delivery system potential for triple‐negative breast cancer therapy using in vivo mouse model

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aptamers are used both therapeutically and as targeting agents in cancer treatment. We developed an aptamer‐targeted PLGA–TRAIL nanosystem that exhibited superior therapeutic efficacy in NOD/SCID breast cancer models. This nanosystem represents a novel biotechnological drug candidate for suppressing resistance development in breast cancer.
