Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Bioprosthetic aortic valves have revolutionized the treatment of aortic stenosis, but their durability is limited by structural valve deterioration (SVD). This review focuses on the pericardial tissue at the heart of these valves, examining how its mechanical properties and calcification drive fatigue and failure.

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020 There is a significant influence of muscle fatigue on the coupling of antagonistic muscles while patients with post-stroke spasticity are characterized by abnormal antagonistic muscle coactivation activities. This study was designed to verify whether the

Effect of exercise-induced arterial hypoxemia on quadriceps muscle fatigue in healthy humans [PDF]
, 2006 The effect of exercise-induced arterial hypoxemia (EIAH) on quadriceps muscle fatigue was assessed in 11 male endurance-trained subjects [peak O2 uptake (V̇o2 peak) = 56.4 ± 2.8 ml·kg−1·min−1; mean ± SE]. Subjects exercised on a cycle ergometer at ≥90% V̇

Skeletal muscle power and fatigue at the tolerable limit of ramp-incremental exercise in COPD [PDF]
, 2016 Muscle fatigue (a reduced power for a given activation) is common following exercise in COPD. Whether muscle fatigue, and reduced maximal voluntary locomotor power, are sufficient to limit whole-body exercise in COPD is unknown.
