JRSM Cardiovascular Disease, 2012 Measurements of biomechanical properties of arteries have become an important surrogate outcome used in epidemiological and interventional cardiovascular research. Structural and functional differences of vessels in the arterial tree result in a dampening of pulsatility and smoothing of blood flow as it progresses to capillary level. A loss of arterial

Cell Adhesion and Matrix Stiffness: Coordinating Cancer Cell Invasion and Metastasis
Frontiers in Oncology, 2018 Metastasis is a multistep process in which tumor extracellular matrix (ECM) and cancer cell cytoskeleton interactions are pivotal. ECM is connected, through integrins, to the cell’s adhesome at cell–ECM adhesion sites and through them to the actin ...

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare autoimmune disease defined by immune dysregulation, vasculopathy, and progressive fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. Despite advances in care, major complications such as interstitial lung disease (ILD) and myocardial involvement remain the leading causes of morbidity and mortality.

The stiff man and stiff man plus syndromes
Journal of Neurology, 1999 Rigidity in the setting of continuous motor unit activity at rest can be caused by a variety of central and peripheral conditions. A central origin is suggested by the presence of painful reflex spasms. Focal spinal lesions and infective causes are relatively easily excluded through imaging, microbiological and serological studies.

Performance Characteristics of a New Aerostatic Thrust Bearing with Poro-Elastic Restrictor
LubricantsAerostatic bearings were proven to be an optimal choice in situations where low friction, cleanliness, and high motion accuracy are required. Their functionality relies heavily on flow restrictors, which are responsible for regulating and controlling the
