Mechanical responses of the mammalian cochlea
Progress in Neurobiology, 1997Recent findings in auditory research have significantly changed our views of the processes involved in hearing. Novel techniques and new approaches to investigate the mammalian cochlea have expanded our knowledge about the mechanical events occurring at physiologically relevant stimulus intensities.

Activation of mechanical responses in leukocytes
Biorheology, 1990Different kinds of leukocytes undergo cytoskeleton-dependent mechanical responses associated wit their specific physiological functions. We have investigated cellular stiffening of several types of leukocytes using a method which measures the force resisting cellular indentation.

Fibroblast responses to mechanical forces
Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part H: Journal of Engineering in Medicine, 1998The repair and maintenance of connective tissues is performed predominately by a mesenchymal cell known as a fibroblast. The activity of this cell is regulated, in part, by changes in the mechanical environment in which it resides. The authors have addressed some of the questions related to the fibroblast and how it responds to mechanical stimulation.

Mechanisms of the systemic inflammatory response
Perfusion, 1999The purpose of inflammation is to combat various agents that may injure the tissues. Conditions such as CPB can often cause systemic inflammation and dysfunction of major organs. Pulmonary, renal, myocardial and intestinal function may suffer various degrees of impairment during and after cardiac surgery. Although changes in major organs usually remain

Mechanism of the human diving response
Integrative Physiological and Behavioral Science, 1994The diving response in human beings is characterized by breath-holding, slowing of the heart rate (diving bradycardia), reduction of limb blood flow and a gradual rise in the mean arterial blood pressure. The bradycardia results from increased parasympathetic stimulus to the cardiac pacemaker. The reduction in limb blood flow is due to vasoconstriction
